Fat Isn’t the Problem, Signaling Is: Insights Into Cholesterol

from Beyond the Sequence · host Amanda Archibald, RD; Sarah Amidon, RD, IFNCP

In this episode of Beyond the Sequence, Sarah and Amanda challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in health: that cholesterol is the problem. Instead, they explore cholesterol as a vital signaling molecule involved in hormone production, immune function, brain health, and cellular repair. Through the lens of genomics, they discuss how patterns like inflammation, stress, digestion, liver function, recovery, and genetics can influence cholesterol levels, helping listeners move beyond treating lab numbers to understanding what their body is actually trying to communicate.
