↓ The exact CoQ10 I recommend, 15% off with code DRG15 ↓ https://theswellscore.com/fbkqvztnvu Episode Description: You take the pill every day to protect your heart, but your muscles ache, your legs feel heavy, and you’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. It might not be age. Your statin may be draining the one nutrient your heart and muscles need to make energy, and almost no one tells you to replace it. Dr. G covers what to replace and how, the natural options with real human evidence for lowering cholesterol, the cholesterol myth that had you fearing the wrong foods, and the one number to ask your doctor about. Dr. G breaks it down, in order: Take 1: “Your statin may be quietly draining you” The same pathway statins shut down also makes CoQ10, so it’s worth replacing, in the right form, with a meal that has fat. Take 2: “I really wish every doctor was talking about citrus bergamot” A standardized extract gently lowered total and LDL cholesterol in human trials. Take 3: “The single most proven natural lever for LDL” Plant sterols block cholesterol from being absorbed in your gut and lower LDL by roughly 8 to 10%. Take 4: “You don’t need to take a pill” Psyllium husk and oats trap cholesterol so your body carries it out. Take 5: “You don’t want to cut out the eggs” Refined carbs, sugar, belly fat and chronic stress drive cholesterol far more than the food on your breakfast plate. Your cholesterol number isn’t the enemy. The particles underneath it are.
