What Is Cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy substance made by your liver and found in some foods. It plays vital roles: - Makes hormones (like estrogen and testosterone) - Helps build cell membranes - Supports vitamin D production and bile for digestion There are two main types: - LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – “Bad cholesterol” because it can build up in arteries - HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – “Good cholesterol” because it helps clear LDL from the bloodstream So, question of the day: Does cholesterol alone cause heart attacks and strokes?

Let’s build this together!

The question the other day was does cholesterol solely cause heart attacks and strokes? Cholesterol is not the root cause—it’s part of the process. From a metabolic health standpoint: * Cholesterol is essential (hormones, cells, vitamin D) * LDL becomes a problem only when the environment is unhealthy What creates that unhealthy environment? * Insulin resistance → drives abnormal fat and sugar metabolism * Inflammation → damages artery walls * Oxidative stress → turns LDL into a harmful form * Endothelial dysfunction → allows particles into artery walls What actually matters more than total cholesterol: * ApoB (number of dangerous particles) * Triglyceride/HDL ratio * hs-CRP (inflammation marker) * Blood sugar & insulin levels Have you checked these important health markers?
