Cholesterol is one of the most misunderstood health topics — but it doesn’t have to be.

In this episode, we break down what cholesterol actually is, how it works in your body, and when it might be a cause for concern. From “good” and “bad” cholesterol to what really affects your levels, this is your science-backed guide to understanding cholesterol in real life.

You’ll learn:

  • What cholesterol does and why your body needs it
  • What LDL and HDL mean and why they matter
  • How diet, exercise, and genetics play a role
  • What doctors look for in your bloodwork
  • When high cholesterol becomes a health risk

If you’ve ever looked at your lab results and wondered, “Should I be worried?”, this episode helps you make sense of the numbers with real, doctor-approved insight.
