The Cholesterol Myth - book review and discussion on cholesterol, statins and heart health
•

Season 1

Episode 17
We discuss a topic very close to our hearts - quite literally. Statins are prescribed routinely in conventional medicine. Are they effective in lowering cholesterol? Why do we need to lower cholesterol when we actually need it for healthy arteries? How do then actually protect our hearts if statins are not the only answer? What are some of the benefits of using statins?
Is there scientific evidence behind the use of nutraceuticals in heart health? Which nutraceuticals would we then use?
We also look at a book called The Cholesterol Myth and discuss the practical application thereof.
