A Pro-Metabolic Perspective on Cholesterol and Statins Part 1
from Metabolic Mindset · host Shara Perry
In Part 1 of this cholesterol series on Metabolic Mindset, I break down what cholesterol actually does in the body, how lipoproteins like LDL and HDL function, and why cholesterol labs are often misunderstood without proper context. I also explore the relationship between inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk — and why a single lab marker rarely tells the full story. In other words, this podcast is an attempt to explain cholesterol in the context of human metabolism.Topics covered:• LDL and HDL explained simply• Cholesterol transport and lipoprotein basics• What cholesterol actually does in the body• Why context matters when interpreting labs• Inflammation, metabolism, and heart healthSupport the showWork with me at Nourish (covered by insurance, often $0): https://signup.nourish.com/providers/shara-perry?referralSource=Nourish+dietitian&referralName=Shara+Perry&utm_source=Nourish_dietitian&utm_term=Shara_Perry
