Episode 5: Cholesterol - Your Metabolic Hero, Not Villain

Remember when they told you cholesterol clogs arteries like grease in pipes? They lied. Dr. Presciutti dismantles 70 years of anti-cholesterol propaganda with shocking facts: Countries with highest cholesterol have LOWEST heart disease (WHO MONICA Project). The Honolulu Heart Study found low cholesterol in elderly = higher death risk. Statins block the same pathway that makes CoQ10, literally poisoning your cellular energy (Folkers et al., 1990). Plus: why cholesterol is essential for ALL your hormones, vitamin D, and brain function. If your TSH is "normal" but cholesterol is high, you're hypothyroid - not diseased. Time to fire your doctor and eat some eggs. Science-backed rebellion at its finest.
