The High Cholesterol Myth — What Your Brain, Cells, and Life Actually Need

Cholesterol is not a harmful invader but a vital, biologically essential molecule that supports cell structure, brain function, hormone production, and tissue repair; the real issue arises when chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, poor metabolic health, and dysregulated nervous system activity create an environment where cholesterol becomes involved in pathological processes like atherosclerosis. Rather than targeting cholesterol in isolation, a more accurate and effective clinical approach is to address the underlying drivers—systemic inflammation, impaired movement and breathing patterns, autonomic imbalance, stress physiology, and lifestyle behaviors—because cholesterol is often a responsive marker of the body’s attempt to heal and adapt; restore the system, and cholesterol returns to its proper role as a cornerstone of health rather than a symbol of disease.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about one of the most important things in your life - Cholesterol.
