Simon Hill just dropped an episode with Dr Andrea Glenn from Harvard and NYU called āThe Diet That Lowers Cholesterol Like a Statinā . If youāre working on your cholesterol, itās worth watching.
They break down the Portfolio Diet: a stack of five evidence-backed foods that research shows can lower LDL comparably to a low-dose statin.
Hereās what the five pillars are:
š± Plant sterols - 2g/day blocks cholesterol absorption in the gut
š¾ Viscous fibre -oats, barley, psyllium husk ā binds cholesterol for excretion
š« Plant protein - legumes, tofu, tempeh ā influences how the liver processes cholesterol
š„ Nuts - a small handful daily improves lipid profiles
š« Monounsaturated fats - extra virgin olive oil, avocado, canola oil
The challenge with plant sterols? Getting to 2 grams from food alone is difficult - it typically requires a supplement.
Thatās exactly what our product is designed to do - hit that 2g target in one serve, so the rest of the stack can do its job.
š§ Full episode in the link below - highly recommend.
