we’re flipping the script on one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health: cholesterol.
for decades, we've been told high cholesterol is the villain—and that statin drugs are our only hope.but new research is telling a different story, and it's time u heard it.
in this episode of the #getunstuck podcast, i’m breaking down 5 facts every woman should ask her doctor—especially if you're being told to start statins without a second conversation.
we’ll talk:
why “total cholesterol” doesn’t tell the full story
what your body actually uses cholesterol for
the real risk factors we should be watching
why women aren’t seeing the same benefit from statins as men
how to get better labs + deeper conversations with your doctor
you are not broken. and there is another way.
