Welcome to Coach’s Corner! This week I’m joined by Dr. Dawson to dive deep into cholesterol health.

Most people only hear “take a statin” or “cut out fats” when their cholesterol numbers rise. But that’s not the whole story. Dr. Dawson and I unpack what your lab results really mean, the truth about dietary fats, and why inflammation is the real driver behind most cholesterol problems.

In this conversation, we cover:

• What cholesterol really is and why your body needs it
• The biggest myths about cholesterol and heart disease
• The role of statins and common medications — benefits and side effects
• Lifestyle and nutrition strategies that can reduce or eliminate the need for medication
• Practical steps you can take today to protect your heart and improve your numbers

💡 Did you know? Nearly 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have high cholesterol, yet most don’t understand what their numbers mean. This episode is all about giving you clarity and control.

Health is wealth — and I’m just here to make sure you’re getting paid.

Cholesterol isn’t the villain it’s made out to be. Your body needs it for hormones, vitamin D, and healthy cells but imbalance can silently lead to heart disease, stroke, and inflammation.

• 3 Red Flags your cholesterol might be out of balance
• 3 MicroHabits to improve cholesterol without drastic changes
• Top 3 Foods that naturally lower LDL and raise HDL
• The truth about statins and medications vs. lifestyle approaches
• Naturopathic insights on inflammation, liver support, and gut health

💡 Did you know? Over 94 million U.S. adults have high cholesterol, but most don’t realize it. Understanding the 'why' behind your numbers is the first step to taking control.

Health is wealth and I’m just here to make sure you’re getting paid.

Your blood sugar isn’t just about sweets — it’s the body’s main fuel system. When it’s balanced, you have steady energy, focus, and long-term protection. When it’s not, you get crashes, cravings, and increased risk for diabetes, heart disease, and more.

This week on Coach’s Corner, Chef D sits down with Bernadette Holder to unpack the realities of menopause and how to navigate it with confidence. Learn about hormonal shifts, lifestyle strategies and how to thrive through this stage of life. There is vulnerability, honesty and real talk in this episode and I hope it adds value to you and opens your eyes to this stage of a woman's life experience.

This is for men and women as we remove the taboo and awkward energy behind this transformation women are going through. It's not often enough that men and women are sitting down talking about what's happening with a woman's body during menopause. 

It's time we come together and talk about ways to support each other during this beautiful transformation. I say beautiful because it's the intelligence of the body God designed but by no means am I speaking to the experience. Speaking on the experience is reserved for the women who are going through it and have gone through it. Much respect to them and I hope this episode allows for sons and moms, nephews and aunts, grandsons and grandmas, spouse and spouse, children and parents to sit down and talk more about menopause.
