Is Cholesterol Really the Enemy? Here’s What You’re Not Being Told

If your cholesterol is “too high,” “unavoidable,” or “just a part of getting older”… this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: cholesterol isn’t the villain you’ve been led to believe.

Your brain, hormones, and cells depend on cholesterol to function properly. And when we suppress it without understanding why it’s high, we can actually interfere with our body’s natural healing processes.

In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart unpacks: ✅ The misunderstood role of cholesterol in the body ✅ Why low cholesterol can be just as dangerous as high cholesterol ✅ What markers actually matter on your lab work ✅ The problems with overprescribing statins ✅ How to personalize your approach based on your lifestyle, labs, and goals

This is essential listening if: – You’ve been told to “watch your diet” – You’re feeling confused by your lab results – You want to support your health without blindly cutting out fats
