Functional MP here 👋 yes this is real and honestly its one of the most overlooked things in cholesterol management

Most doctors look at high cholesterol and immediately go to statins. But they almost never ask the most important question which is WHY is cholesterol building up in your blood in the first place

Your liver is the organ that clears LDL cholesterol from your bloodstream. It has receptors on its cells that pull LDL out of your blood and flush it through bile. About 80 to 90% of all LDL clearance happens in the liver. When those receptors work properly your cholesterol basically regulates itself

The problem is after decades of processing medications, alcohol, processed food, toxins, fat accumulates inside liver cells. And when that happens those receptors get buried and stop working efficiently. So cholesterol just builds up. Not because youre eating too much of it. Because the organ thats supposed to remove it cant keep up

This is why dieting barely works for most people. Youre cutting the input by maybe 10 to 15% while the organ responsible for clearing the other 80% is compromised. And its why statins are a bandaid. They force your liver to pull more cholesterol out of the blood but they dont fix WHY the liver wasnt doing it properly in the first place. The moment you stop taking them your numbers go right back up

This is also why I dont usually recommend things like red yeast rice, fish oil or plant sterols on their own. Red yeast rice is basically a weak natural statin so you're doing the same thing as the drug just less effectively. Fish oil helps triglycerides but does almost nothing for LDL clearance. And plant sterols just block absorption in the gut which is only addressing that small 15% input side. None of them touch the actual organ thats failing to clear the cholesterol

What I focus on with my patients is supporting the liver directly so it can actually do its job again. There are three things that matter most in my experience. Silymarin from milk thistle which protects the cell membranes where those receptors sit and has been shown to significantly lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Curcuminoids which calm the inflammation thats damaging liver function. And inositol which helps the liver clear the fat thats causing the whole problem

What I usually see when patients start supporting the liver properly is energy comes back first, usually within the first couple weeks. Bloating goes down. Then by month 2 or 3 the bloodwork starts reflecting it. And it holds because youre not suppressing anything youre actually fixing what was broken

Quality matters a lot here though. Most liver supplements on amazon are low dose generic extracts that arent standardized to the active compounds that actually do the work. I usually recommend European formulations because they tend to be significantly better because the regulatory standards are stricter and the quality control on extracts is much higher

I know this was long but I see so many people cutting out eggs and eating oatmeal twice a day thinking thats going to fix their numbers when the real issue is an organ they never thought to support. Hope this helps 🙏

EDIT: since a lot of you are asking what I recommend specifically, the one I usually point my patients to is Happy Liver by Ritual Labs. Its European pharmaceutical grade and has all three at the clinical doses. I know theyre not on Amazon yet but I think they ship from the US through their site. Youd have to check 😊

Jenifer Cleveland walked into Luxe Medspa in Wortham, Texas on July 10, 2023, for what she believed was a routine wellness treatment.
Twenty-seven minutes later, she lost consciousness.
She never went home.
At 11:04 a.m., Jenifer began receiving an IV infusion containing vitamins and electrolytes — the kind of treatment thousands of Americans get at med spas every single week. By 11:31 a.m., she was in cardiac arrest.
Investigators now say what killed her was a fatal overdose of potassium chloride — pumped into her body at a rate that was never safe, administered by someone who was never legally qualified to do it.
And here is where this story turns from tragedy into something far more disturbing.
Amber Johnson, the owner of Luxe Medspa, did not hold a medical license. According to investigators, she was not legally permitted to administer the treatments she was offering to paying customers. Texas law restricts ownership of medical practices to licensed physicians — a law authorities allege Johnson violated every single day she kept those doors open.
To get around it, court records allege she used the medical license of anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Gallagher — who prosecutors say failed to supervise her and allowed his credentials to be used to obtain the very drugs that killed Jenifer Cleveland.
Johnson turned herself in on April 28th. Gallagher was arrested the following day.
Between them, they now face charges of felony murder, manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, practicing medicine without a license, tampering with evidence, and multiple counts of delivering dangerous drugs.
Jenifer Cleveland was 47 years old. She went to a med spa for a wellness treatment and was dead before lunchtime — because the person holding the IV line was not qualified to hold it, and the doctor whose name was on the license was nowhere in the room.
Share this tonight. Every person who has ever walked into a med spa deserves to know this story.

They told her the pain was all in her head. She was a PhD biochemist—so she found the part of the body medicine had been cutting through and throwing away.
In 1920, Ida Pauline Rolf became one of the first women to earn a PhD in biological chemistry from Columbia University. She had the credentials. She had the training. She had published research at the Rockefeller Institute.
But when chronic pain brought her to doctors—her own pain and her children's—they had the same response: rest. Wait. It will pass.
The X-rays were clean. The blood work was normal. Nothing visible was wrong.
The unspoken message: maybe you're imagining it.
Ida Rolf was a scientist. If the pain was real—and she knew it was—there had to be a physical cause medicine was missing.
So she started studying something medical schools barely taught: fascia.
Fascia is the dense connective tissue that wraps every muscle, bone, and organ in your body. It's everywhere—a continuous web holding you together. In the 1940s, surgeons cut through it to reach the "important" parts. It was considered biological packing material.
Rolf saw something revolutionary: fascia wasn't inert. It adapted. It held patterns. When it tightened around old injuries, poor posture, or stress, it pulled the body out of alignment. And that invisible tension created very real pain.
Women started coming to her with stories doctors had stopped listening to.
Shoulders that never relaxed. Hips that felt crooked. Backs that ached without injury. Chronic headaches. Jaw pain. Exhaustion from holding everything together.
They'd been told: it's stress. It's hormones. It's motherhood. Lose weight. See a psychiatrist.
The message was always the same: you're unreliable. Your pain isn't real.
Ida Rolf believed them.
She developed a method called Structural Integration—systematic manual pressure to release fascial restrictions. It wasn't gentle massage. It was deep, sustained work that reorganized tissue patterns.
It hurt. Patients cried. They shook. They had emotional releases as their bodies let go of what they'd been holding for decades.
But when they stood up, something had changed. Shoulders dropped. Spines lengthened. Pain that had been constant for years eased or vanished.
The women medicine had dismissed as "psychosomatic" were getting structurally better.
Ida Rolf brought her findings to the medical establishment.
They called her a quack.
She was a woman. She didn't have an MD. She worked with tissue doctors considered irrelevant. And worst of all, she was claiming to fix conditions medicine had labeled psychological—which meant admitting they'd been wrong.
Doctors warned patients to stay away.
But the people she helped kept coming. And they kept getting better.
Through the 1950s and 60s, Rolf trained practitioners and refined her technique. Dancers came because they understood bodies. Athletes came for performance. Women came because someone finally believed them.
She was uncompromising. Intense. Absolutely convinced she was right.
And slowly, science caught up.
By the 1970s, researchers discovered fascia wasn't inert—it was packed with nerve endings that responded to mechanical stress. It could create referred pain, restrict movement, and alter how the body functioned.
Rolf had been right.
Today, fascia research is a major field. Physical therapists incorporate fascial release. Medical textbooks have been rewritten. Rolfing is practiced worldwide.
But here's what still matters: Ida Rolf's story isn't just about tissue. It's about who gets believed.
Studies show women wait longer in emergency rooms, receive less pain medication, and are more likely to be prescribed psychiatric drugs for physical symptoms. Chronic pain conditions affecting primarily women took decades longer to be taken seriously.
Rolf saw this in the 1940s. She saw women being dismissed by a system that didn't have the tools—or the interest—to understand their pain.
And when she developed those tools, the system dismissed her too.
A PhD biochemist with real results was called a fraud because she was a woman working outside medical hierarchies, treating patients medicine had already decided weren't credible.
It took decades for science to confirm what she and her patients already knew: the pain was real. The body held the story. And women weren't making it up.
Ida Pauline Rolf died in 1979 at age 83, just as her work was gaining recognition.
She spent most of her career being dismissed by the establishment that trained her.
But she never stopped working. She never stopped believing her patients. She never stopped insisting that invisible pain deserved real solutions.
She proved that the most profound healing often begins not with a diagnosis from someone who doesn't believe you—but with someone who listens to what your body has been trying to say all along.
