#94 - The truth about cholesterol with Josh Rubin
Description
Josh and his wife, Jeanne, run the instagram account @realfoodgangstas where they offer so much great info about thyroid health and pro-metabolic nutrition. If you don’t already, go give them a follow.
I get so many questions from clients about cholesterol, and I hear so many stories about people’s doctors trying to prescribe them a statin. We’re taught that cholesterol is bad and it should be feared, but what’s really going on? Josh and I dig into all of this.
In this episode, Josh and I chat about:
➡️What does cholesterol do in the body
➡️When does cholesterol become a problem
➡️How everything stems from chronic stress
➡️Why high levels of cholesterol aren’t necessarily a bad thing
➡️What causes chronic stress
➡️What else impacts cholesterol levels in the body
➡️How you get high cholesterol
➡️How copper and cholesterol are associated
➡️Good sources of copper
➡️Long-term side effects of taking statins
