In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in health—cholesterol. For decades, we’ve been told that cholesterol is the enemy, that high LDL means heart disease, and that we should avoid eggs and saturated fats like the plague. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong? We’ll explore the real role of cholesterol in the body , why LDL isn’t actually a fat but a protein that transports fat to the brain , and how statin drugs—prescribed to millions—come with serious side effects that often go ignored. Plus, we’ll take a look at how cholesterol guidelines have changed over the years (and why the ‘normal’ levels keep getting lower), the shocking history of the war on fat , and why cholesterol in your diet has little impact on your blood levels . If you’ve ever been told you have ‘high cholesterol’ and need to be on medication, this episode is a MUST-listen. Let’s separate fact from fiction and get to the truth about cholesterol!

In this episode, we explore the fascinating connection between the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio and longevity, inspired by the lifestyles of people living in the Blue Zones—regions known for their extraordinary number of centenarians. Could their long, healthy lives be partially attributed to a diet naturally low in Omega 6 and rich in Omega 3 fatty acids? The traditional diets in these regions emphasize whole, unprocessed foods like fatty fish, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, creating a naturally balanced omega ratio. Contrast this with the typical Western diet, often overloaded with Omega 6 from processed oils and foods, which researchers now believe could contribute to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases. Join us as we reflect on what we’ve learned over the years and discuss how small dietary changes could make a big impact on health and longevity. Whether you’re curious about Blue Zone secrets, fascinated by the role of fatty acids in aging, or simply looking for practical tips to improve your health, this short and sweet episode has something for you!
