The Thing About Cholesterol

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with an explanation of who, or rather what, the Forbidden Doctor is and why it matters. Then, Dr. Jack shifts into addressing topics about which his patients have asked him, starting with cholesterol. There seems to be a push for lower and lower cholesterol, which Dr. Jack calls a fraud.Cholesterol is a waxy-type of product our bodies make because every cell in our body requires cholesterol. Liver makes cholesterol, so if there is not enough in our diet, the liver will make more. If there is enough cholesterol in our diet, the liver will make less. Dr. Jack shares a study that looks into low cholesterol, and longterm lower cholesterol in elderly patients leads to a higher rate of death.  As a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner, hold of Dr. Jack’s focus of practice is helping his patients change the road their body is on, and that has to do with changing lifestyle choices with diet being the primary focus.Now, if your cholesterol is critically low and always has been (without the use of drugs to make it low), then that’s a different issue. For some people, it may just be genetic, but it’s important to have your liver checked to make sure it’s not something to do with liver disease.Rounding out the conversation, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, including how to protect your body from cold, wet weather. The discussion continues how the body reacts wherever you live and various types of climate, and the important controls of the nervous system for the body.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
