Cholesterol, Medications, and the Physiology Gap: Finding the Truth in the Middle

Modern medicine has saved countless lives, yet many people sense a disconnect between how the human body actually works and how health risks are often communicated.

Few topics illustrate this tension better than cholesterol, long‑term medication use, and fear‑based health messaging. To understand what’s gone wrong—and what’s still valuable—we need to return to human physiology, not headlines or marketing slogans.

HEALTH IS SOMETHING YOU PARTICIPATE IN - Not something that is done to you and certainly not something you choose INSTEAD of medical care.

This article explores why cholesterol is so misunderstood, how fear‑driven narratives shape medication use, what common drugs like SSRIs and corticosteroids do to the body, and where the biological truth actually lives......... This will be an additional installment in our blog spot for January. - We are excited to hear your feedback!

Frankincense & Myrrh… let’s talk about it.

Frankincense is a resin that comes from the Boswellia tree and has many uses, including: skincare, aromatherapy, inflammation, antifungal, antibacterial.  High in sesquiterpenes which stimulates and oxygenates the limbic system of the brain which helps to elevate our mood and helps us relax.

Myrrh is a fragrant resin that comes from the bark of Commiphora trees. Often used for inflammation, wound healing, anti spasmodic, thyroid function, and has antioxidants that help the liver and gut.

In the spirit of the season, let’s look at historical and religious uses:

Myrrh is used in many spiritual practices, such as aromatherapy, meditation, and prayer. It can help promote relaxation, concentration, and a higher level of consciousness.

Myrrh was used in ancient Israelite temple worship as an ingredient in the holy anointing oil for consecrating priests, the tabernacle, and kings (see Exodus 30:23–25). It was used in the purification of Queen Esther (see Esther 2:12), and it was also used in embalming (see John 19:39).

Ancient Egypt: Used in mummification rituals and as a sacred offering to the gods.
Christianity: Included in the holy anointing oil used in sacraments.
