Episode 2972:

Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the cholesterol puzzle, explaining the difference between "good" and "bad" cholesterol, and why not all dietary fats, or even dietary cholesterol, are created equal. Learn the six simple lifestyle changes that can naturally improve your cholesterol profile and reduce long-term health risks.

Quotes to ponder:

"Cholesterol actually acts as a transporter in the body, the precious cargo in this case: fat."

"Fiber is like HDL’s sidekick, it helps the body get rid of that lousy or lethal LDL cholesterol."

"High intensity activity in particular seems to help increase the happy or healthy HDL levels in the blood."
