Stop Blaming Cholesterol for Heart Disease
For decades, doctors blamed high LDL for heart disease. But here’s the truth: high cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease—chronic inflammation does.
A deep dive into the real cause of heart disease 👇
1️⃣ What actually causes heart disease?
👉 Inflammation from seed oils, processed carbs, and chronic stress
👉 Oxidized LDL (from inflammation, NOT LDL itself)
👉 High triglycerides from excess sugar intake
2️⃣ LDL isn’t the villain—it’s a transport system.
LDL delivers cholesterol to cells for hormone production, cell repair, and immune function. Calling it “bad cholesterol” is a huge oversimplification.
3️⃣ What about statins?
Statins lower LDL, but at what cost?
❌ Increased risk of diabetes
❌ Reduced testosterone & estrogen
❌ Higher risk of cognitive decline
4️⃣ How do we actually prevent heart disease?
✔️ Reduce inflammation (ditch seed oils & sugar)
✔️ Lower triglycerides (eat whole, unprocessed foods)
✔️ Optimize your metabolic health
5️⃣ The bottom line:
👉 Cholesterol is essential
👉 High triglycerides & inflammation are the real dangers
👉 Focus on health, not cholesterol numbers
Stop fearing cholesterol and start fixing the real problem.
