Is The Cholesterol Myth Crumbling?

  • Is The Cholesterol Myth Crumbling?

    For decades, we’ve been told that high cholesterol—especially from dietary fat—is the main driver of heart disease.

    But that story is incomplete?

    Many people are starting to question the conventional narrative, especially as cardiovascular disease continues to rise despite years of cholesterol-focused guidelines. Could it be that we’ve been looking in the wrong place?

    More and more experts are exploring the idea that heart disease is actually a metabolic condition, driven by things like insulin resistance and chronic inflammation—not just cholesterol levels.

    As Dr. Paul Marik puts it:

    “Something doesn’t add up.”

    If you’ve ever tried to have this conversation, you know how difficult it can be. People are often deeply committed to what they’ve been told for years, and it’s not always easy to explore alternative perspectives.

    But these are important discussions to have.

    This CHD episode with Dr. Marik dives into the topic:

    Agree, the “cholesterol causes CVD” ship has sailed, and along with the “avoid salt” and “avoid sunshine,” will end up like the Titanic!
