This question hit right on the core of food as medicine 🍽 Though statins can be helpful in many cases to improve cholesterol, I think they should always be layered into a foundational nutrition and lifestyle approach 😉 I didn't talk about nutraceutical options like fish oil, berberine, and vitamin D etc ... want to dig into that next? #cardiovascularhealth #cholesterol #statins #foodasmedicine #lifestylemedicine

Short answer to this question is dynamic lifestyle. But if you thought I was going to say eat low cholesterol food or eat low fat, then you are stuck somewhere in the 80s. And if you thought I was going to say low carb, then I think you're oversimplifying what it means to have metabolic health #1 why does somebody need to go on a satin? Usually it means that they have high cholesterol. And it is true that actually changing your diet can impact those numbers drastically, and there are cases where it won't come down from just dietary changes alone. It's because your liver actually has a lot to say. About this, a lot of people don't realize that the intersection between your liver and your metabolic health, meaning your cholesterol levels as well as your blood sugar control are very closely linked. And not to confuse things even more but the balance of the microbiome of your gut and the overall health of your GI also has a role to play in your cholesterol balance and your overall metabolic health. And so eating a diet that's diverse when it comes to plant fibers and colorful when it comes to polyphenols and antioxidants is a huge part of a foundational. Approach here also including healthy fats like your polyunsaturated fats or monounsaturated fats, sometimes called Pufas and Mufas. The Mediterranean diet is a great example of how we incorporate those basic functions. Staying away from ultra processed foods and trying to eat as much as we can. A diet that's full and rich of Whole Foods and fresh or frozen produce. I hope you thought that was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.
