In this episode, I break down why statins are commonly prescribed with higher cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. I also challenge the long-standing belief that saturated fat causes heart disease. I explain why cholesterol is essential for hormone production, brain health, bile production, and cellular repair, and I share ideal cholesterol markers I commonly see in my carnivore and meat-based practice, including optimal ranges for total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
