    Is high cholesterol always bad – and can we lower it without medication?

    In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips chats with leading Australian lipid expert and chemical pathologist Dr Michael Page (aka Instagram's 'Cholesterologist') about the complex topic of high cholesterol – a real problem for so many mid-life women once oestrogen drops. Or is it? Clearing up once and for all whether high cholesterol is actually something to worry about, Dr Michael also outlines the steps we can take to lower our levels without medication. He discusses all the basic (plus some more advanced) lipid markers, answers Amelia's questions around the impact of GLP-1s and weight loss on cholesterol, and offers his views on the role of plant sterols and other supplements. About the guest:Dr Michael Page is a doctor, lipid specialist and CEO of Clinipath Pathology, a leading pathology practice in Western Australia. The former President of the Australian Medical Association (WA), he completed his PhD on cholesterol disorders that run in families, and runs a clinic for patients with related conditions. A consultant chemical pathologist with a special interest in lipid disorders, cardiovascular risk assessment and advanced lipid testing, Dr Michael helps GPs and specialists interpret complex cholesterol lipid patterns and translates them into practical prevention strategies.He has extensive experience managing inherited lipid conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia, as well as guiding patients through the often confusing landscape of cholesterol results, coronary calcium scoring and medication decisions. Dr Michael also shares practical advice and the latest research as the 'Cholesterologist' on Instagram.Follow Dr Michael 'Cholesterologist' on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cholesterologist/Clinipath Pathology website: https://www.clinipathpathology.com.au/ About the host: Amelia Phillips is an exercise scientist, nutritionist, and published researcher (BSc, MNut) with a career spanning 26 years in health.

    How to lose fat without losing muscle, lessons from a sport that gets it right

    In this episode, host Amelia Phillips and elite fitness coach Sharelle Grant discuss one of the biggest frustrations in midlife health: how to lose body fat without sacrificing the muscle that keeps us strong, energetic and metabolically healthy. For most people, weight loss, whether from calorie restriction, GLP-1s, more cardio or “clean eating”, comes with an unwanted side effect: muscle loss. In some cases, women can lose almost as much muscle as fat, leaving them smaller, softer, more tired and metabolically worse off. But there’s one sport that has quietly mastered the holy grail of body composition: losing fat while building muscle.  Love it or hate this sport is refining the science of body recomposition, how to strip fat while preserving and even growing lean tissue. In this episode, Amelia and Sharelle unpack the strategies used and, more importantly, how everyday women can adapt them in a sustainable, healthy way, without extreme dieting or burnout. If you’ve ever felt that weight loss just leaves you weaker rather than fitter, this conversation will completely reframe how you approach fat loss. About the Guest Sharelle Grant is a registered nurse and midwife turned elite fitness coach, FMG Sports Model/Bikini Pro athlete, and the founder of Women’s Health Movement, a global coaching platform that has helped thousands of women transform their bodies through evidence-based strength training, smart nutrition and sustainable habits.
