Cholesterol

 



Most people think their medication is fixing something…

But what if it’s just silencing a signal your body is trying to send?

Statins are prescribed to lower cholesterol.
But they don’t fix why cholesterol is elevated in the first place.

They block your liver’s production of cholesterol —
the same cholesterol your body depends on for:

• Hormones
• Brain health
• Cellular repair
• Vitamin D production

And here’s what most people never hear:

👉 The cholesterol you eat has very little impact on your blood cholesterol
👉 Your body makes what it needs — intentionally

So when cholesterol shows up elevated…
you have to ask:

What is the body responding to?

In many cases, it comes back to one root issue:

Insulin resistance

Chronic high blood sugar damages blood vessels.
Inflammation rises.
And your body sends cholesterol to help repair the damage.

So cholesterol isn’t always the cause…
It’s often part of the response.

Now here’s the part people feel but don’t always connect:

When you block cholesterol production, you don’t just lower a number…
You interfere with essential functions.

That’s why so many people on statins experience:

• Muscle pain
• Low energy
• Brain fog
• Memory issues
• Nutrient depletion (especially CoQ10)

This isn’t random.
It’s connected to the mechanism.

So instead of only chasing cholesterol…

Start asking deeper questions.

✔ How is my blood sugar?
✔ Am I insulin resistant?
✔ What is my inflammation level?

And most importantly:

Have I actually tested beyond basic labs?

Ask your doctor about:

• Fasting insulin
• HbA1c
• Triglyceride / HDL (RATIO!)
• ApoB
• CAC scan (to assess (ACTUAL!) plaque risk)

Because guessing leads to fear…
But testing brings clarity.

You don’t fix the body by overriding it.
You fix it by understanding what it’s trying to do — and working with it.

If you want help identifying your root cause and building a plan that actually supports your body…

IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease) - Kidney disease - too much protein in the kidney

Image
  IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease) IgA nephropathy is a chronic kidney disease where a protein called Immunoglobulin A (IgA) builds up in the kidneys, causing inflammation and damage over time. WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BODY IgA normally helps fight infections. In this condition, IgA deposits in the kidney filters (glomeruli) → leading to inflammation → which can gradually reduce the kidneys’ ability to filter waste. ⸻ WHO IS AT RISK • More common in young adults • Slightly more common in men • Can run in families • Higher risk in some ethnic groups (e.g., Asian, Caucasian) ⸻ COMMON SYMPTOMS Some people may have no symptoms early When symptoms appear, they may include: • Blood in urine (tea-colored or cola-colored) • Foamy urine (protein in urine) • Swelling in hands, feet, or face • High blood pressure • Fatigue Often appears after a respiratory infection (cold, sore throat) ⸻ CAUSE / TRIGGERS Exact cause is not fully known, but linked to: • Abnormal immune response • Infections (res...

Kidney stone foods and snacks

Image
  What is the main cause of kidney stones? AI Overview The main cause of kidney stones is  dehydration , which reduces the volume of fluid in the body and causes substances like calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus to concentrate and crystallize in the urine. Other key factors include high dietary salt intake, excessive consumption of animal protein, obesity, and certain medical conditions or medications.   University of California - Davis Health  +4 Key Causes and Risk Factors: Dehydration:  Not drinking enough fluids is the biggest risk factor, as it leads to concentrated urine and allows minerals to stick together. Dietary Factors:  High intake of sodium (salt) increases calcium levels in the urine, while high consumption of animal protein (red meat, poultry, fish) can increase uric acid levels. High Oxalate Consumption:  Foods like spinach, nuts, and chocolate can contribute to the most common type of stone, calcium oxalate. Metabolic & Medical Con...
