The Truth About Cholesterol — What Everyone Need to Know


Listen Later

In this episode, Hannah pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in modern health: that cholesterol is dangerous and should always be lowered.

If you’ve ever been told to fear butter, eggs, or red meat because of your cholesterol numbers — this is your wake-up call.

Hannah breaks down what cholesterol really does in the body, how it connects to hormones, brain health, and longevity, and why inflammation — not cholesterol — is the true root of cardiovascular disease.

You’ll learn how to naturally support your liver, balance your hormones, and interpret your cholesterol numbers through a functional lens so you can feel confident, not confused, about your health.
