62. What Actually Moves the Needle on Cholesterol

This final episode in the August cholesterol series is where knowledge meets action, and Tanya covers the specific diet, lifestyle, supplement, and research interventions that are actually worth your attention, and explains which to prioritize based on what your particular pattern is showing.

Tanya covers the dietary shifts that move lipid markers most directly, including why reducing refined carbs and sugar is the primary lever, why soluble fiber and broccoli sprouts deserve more attention than they typically get, and how to think about dietary fat through the lens of oxidation rather than cholesterol content.

She walks through the lifestyle interventions with the most consistent evidence, addresses alcohol directly, goes supplement by supplement with dosing, explains why red yeast rice concerns her despite its natural reputation, and closes with a look at three peptides from the July series that intersect with the cholesterol conversation on the research side.
