Cholesterol Numbers Do NOT Tell The Truth

from The Nutrition Nuggets Podcast · host Dale Pinnock

Send us Fan MailCholesterol blood tests can be massively misleading. Whenever I work with clients that have concerns about their cholesterol, I ensure that we clarify the full picture first, before we make any changes to their diet.  If you’ve been told your cholesterol is high, you were probably handed a number and a warning. But cholesterol risk is not as simple as “LDL high = danger”.In this video, I break down what cholesterol actually is, what LDL and HDL really mean, and why standard blood test results don’t always tell the full story about cardiovascular risk, and how the metabolic environment determines whether cholesterol behaves safely or becomes problematic. Most importantly, I’ll walk you through five simple, evidence-based dietary steps that can genuinely improve your cholesterol profile — not just lower a number, but create better cholesterol physiology.Find me here: https://www.dalepinnock.com/Gain A Nutrition Qualification This Year: https://www.nutritionalmedicineschool.com/diploma-in-nutrition-coaching-culinary-medicine
