I was all set to write up a post on cholesterol, what it does and what it doesn’t.
I was actually halfway thru writing when I came across this 2 minute video that did a better job. Watching the 2 minute video is probably quicker than reading a post I’d write, albeit, not as much fun, as probably not as snarky or sarcastic, butt, the video really does a great job.
Sooo,,, how bout watching this video and then comment and ask questions here to discuss.
Again it’s around 2 minutes long and well worth the watch.
I’ll also leave this pic here though as a Common Sense Health and Wellness post without a silly meme is just not a real post.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Now that this information is getting put there do you think anything will change? We have been so brain washed regarding cholesterol I wonder how long it will take for there to be a mainstream shift in thinking on this.
All valid and important questions and I feel like the answer to almost all (if not all) of them is $$$. They have a drug that can lower LDL. They have not found another answer because this one works so well for the bottom line, so why even look for another answer.
I have seen that many are starting to wake up and question this and statin use is getting lower (not sure if true), but there is not much concern because GLP1s are going to make even more money. Plus all the experimental shots they are making will follow suit. Lots of money to be made when they find the right “cause”.
When I was recently getting cleared for surgery, a cardiologist came to see me and was surprised to see that I was not taking a statin. He said due to the scarring in my heart I needed to be on a statin. I just listened and agreed and decided to maintain what I was already doing.
Bravo! So many of my relatives are on statins, never questioning the necessity nor alternatives. Going to forward them this video, Dr. Steve. But please bring on the snarky comments nonetheless!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing, educating and doing what you do.

THANK YOU Dr H. Going to share that video with my T2D brother, who continues to use Statins. 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing!!
We should send this video to the major medical facilities in the area. I know Inspira docs are all on the " Take meds for high cholesterol" page.
Why can't all Doctor's be on the same page?
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!
