Your body knows how to heal. Think about it—if a poor diet and lifestyle can contribute to an unhealthy body, it stands to reason that a nutrient-rich diet and lifestyle can conversely contribute to a healthy body. That's not too hard to figure out.

What is hard to figure out is what is bad for your health and what is good. Are statins good or are they bad? Should you take them? Are there alternatives? If so, what are they?

There are many conflicting stories because cholesterol metabolism is complex, making it a perpetually confusing topic. You deserve to understand your health before blindly accepting treatments.

I get a lot of questions about cholesterol, statin drugs, and how to lower cholesterol without taking statins. The good news is that certain plants and lifestyles have been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol.

So, let’s break it all down. In this post, I cover:

  • What is cholesterol, and why do we need it?

  • Triglycerides and their relationship to cholesterol.

  • How triglycerides and cholesterol interact.

  • The Pareto Principle, cholesterol, and statins.

  • Herbs and plants with evidence for cholesterol-lowering effects.

  • Key metabolic biomarkers.

  • With the proper knowledge and approach, you have the power to control your health.
