Is cholesterol really the enemy… or are we missing the bigger picture?

In this episode, we break down:

🫀 What cholesterol actually does in the body

💪 How it affects hormones, muscle recovery & fitness

🥩 Why low-fat/high-sugar diets may worsen cholesterol

🏃 How strength training & cardio improve HDL

⚠️ The real root causes behind high LDL and poor lipid markers

🧬 Genetics, inflammation, insulin resistance, stress & more

We also discuss:

• Good vs bad cholesterol (HDL vs LDL)

• Cholesterol’s role in testosterone, estrogen & vitamin D

• Why athletes can experience hormonal decline with under-eating

• The impact of visceral fat & anabolic steroids on cholesterol health

• Why exercise + nutrition together matter most

Cholesterol isn’t just about numbers — it’s about understanding what your body is trying to tell you.
