Cholesterol has long been heralded as one of the primary indicators of heart disease and cardiovascular health. However, more research is surfacing that says that might not be the case. Americans have an epidemic of high cholesterol, that can be mostly attributed to a poor diet, but what if something else was responsible for our deteriorating cardiovascular health?

On this week’s episode we examine the roles cholesterol plays in the body. It’s often reduced to the waxy buildup in arteries, but actually plays multiple important roles in various systems. We speak about the vast consumption of statin drugs, possible alternatives, 17 risk factors of heart disease developed by Life Extension, and what can be done if you’re concerned about elevated cholesterol levels or your own cardiovascular health.

Some Topics We Discussed: What is cholesterol and how does it affect the body? (1:04) How did cholesterol get a bad rap? (6:41) If someone is concerned about their cholesterol levels what should they do? (11:35) What are the 17 reasons people get heart disease? (13:14) What are statin drugs? (24:14) What are things we can do to keep our cardiovascular health optimal? (25:29) Please consider leaving us a review on Apple and giving us a share to your friends!
