## Resource

If you've ever been told your high cholesterol is "just genetic" and there's nothing you can do but take medication, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the exact, research-backed changes that helped me drop my total cholesterol by 35 points, LDL by 27 points, and triglycerides by 80 points in 12 months, no medication required. As a Registered Dietitian and mom of 3, I'm breaking down the biggest high cholesterol myths (starting with the dietary cholesterol myth, yes, eggs are fine!) and walking through the lifestyle and nutrition shifts that actually move the needle on cholesterol naturally. In this episode, you'll learn: Why eating cholesterol-containing foods like eggs and shrimp isn't the real problem The truth about genetics and high cholesterol, predisposition isn't destiny How strength training and walking impact LDL, HDL, and triglycerides Why added sugar (not dietary fat) is one of the biggest drivers of high cholesterol The role of fiber in naturally lowering LDL cholesterol Cholesterol-supportive supplements to ask your doctor about: omega-3s, vitamin D, berberine, turmeric/ginger, plant sterols How blood sugar regulation ties directly into healthy cholesterol levels My personal before-and-after lab numbers after one year of consistency Disclaimer: This episode is for educational purposes and isn't a substitute for medical advice. Always talk to your doctor before starting supplements or adjusting cholesterol medication. Want pre-balanced meals that support healthy cholesterol without tracking or giving up your favorite foods?
