Should You Stop Taking Statins? The Conversation That Could Save Your Life


Listen Later

In this episode, I tackle the critical question: Should you stop taking statins? With heart attacks occurring every 40 seconds in the U.S., many victims have normal cholesterol levels, highlighting the complexity of heart health. I discuss the powerful role of statins in lowering LDL cholesterol, reducing inflammation, and stabilizing arterial plaque, which can cut heart attack or stroke risk by up to 50%. However, the episode emphasizes that lifestyle changes—such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management—are also vital for long-term heart health, albeit with slower results. The conversation aims to clarify the importance of not viewing statins and lifestyle changes as mutually exclusive but rather as complementary strategies for improving heart health. Tune in to gain insights on how to effectively manage your cardiovascular risk.
