In addition, the clear objective of statins is to reduce cholesterol because cholesterol is the villain in creating blood clots which lead to strokes or heart attacks. Some Drs are now saying that clots which create strokes are actually the consequence of inflammation not cholesterol, that the clot forms in five seconds, not something that builds up over time. Aseem Malhotra consultant heart surgeon in Birmingham is suggesting that the whole role of statins should be re-evaluated.
What are the public to believe?
Stop Vilifying Cholesterol....
Whenever I post a picture of my food, I get ladies warning about cholesterol, can we let this go now? There is plenty of evidence to show that this whole cholesterol idea was flawed at the research, multiple studies were left out and ignored in favour of producing a drug and..... dare I say making many people sick and fearing the very nutrients they need from meat and fats.
Women, especially were taught to fear cholesterol.
To lower it.
To avoid it.
And to see it as the enemy....
Ladies, cholesterol is essential to your survival.
It is needed for your intracrine system to make estradiol.
It is needed for all hormone functioning.
It is needed to produce vitamin D.
Cholesterol is a core component of your cell membranes, your brain structure, your nerve signalling, and your ability to produce bile to digest fats.
It plays a role in repair, resilience, and cellular function across your entire body.
So no…
Cholesterol isn’t the problem
It is the raw material your body relies on to keep you functioning.
And this becomes even more important in menopause.
As ovarian hormone production declines, your body shifts toward intracrine hormone production, where tissues make and regulate hormones locally.... and yes I am fully aware that you have never been told about the intracrine system , it is another chunk of science that has been entirely ignored for the sake of profiting from your dysfunction again.
The intracrine system depends on cholesterol, to make hormones locally in the very tissues they tell you that you need HRT to protect. That isn't strictly true.... and if you activate your noggin, and ask the question "why do some women sail through menopause" having no heart, brain or bone disorders.... then their "hormone decline causes menopause symptoms" falls over.
Your heart, brain, bones, skin, muscles, bladder, urethra, vulvovaginal, pelvis areas tissues and organs continue to produce the estradiol they need to see you through until end of life, what stands in the way, is neuro metabolic dysfunction... something that most people are struggling with, and is the true cause of your symptoms.
Neuro metabolic dysfunction in menopausal women begins with insulin resistance, estrogen dominance, gut dysbiosis, bile production issues, liver and detox clearance issues, and nervous system dysregulation. These are what causes your symptoms, when we address these through diet and lifestyle your symptoms regress, and for many women go entirely.
Which means cholesterol is not optional in menopause. It is essential, it is your foundational building block to health and wellbeing.
So before you fear it…before you try to suppress it…before you see it as something going wrong…
Understand what it actually it is a building block, and a necessity.
It is something to respect, it is helping not hindering.
