Not Your Quick Fix

Episode 118: The Truth About Cholesterol


Listen Later

This week, your hosts are back after their holiday break with the first episode of the new year, and they're diving into a long-awaited topic.. cholesterol! Cholesterol is a blood marker that is very demonized, but Kara and Kylie are here to break down why it may not be so bad after all.

They start by defining cholesterol and its functions in the body before diving into the different types of cholesterol and their "normal" levels. They also share important blood markers that can be even better predictors of heart health outside of just total and LDL cholesterol, reasons your cholesterol may be elevated that you might not have thought of, and diet and lifestyle factors you can implement to help improve your cholesterol levels.
