    Lower Your LDL Naturally With Food: Dr. Michael Greger Tells You How

    Question or comment? Send a one-way text to Age Like a Badass Mother. Include your email so I can answer you back. This week, we're diving deep into one of the most important health metrics for longevity: LDL cholesterol. Dr. Michael Greger joins us to discuss his latest book and shares practical, evidence-based strategies for lowering cholesterol naturally through dietary changes. If you've been wondering whether you really need that statin prescription or how food can be your medicine, this conversation is for you. Understanding Cholesterol: Dr. Greger explains why LDL cholesterol matters so much for heart health and clarifies what our numbers really mean. He explains the relationship between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk in terms we can actually understand and use. The Food as Medicine Approach We explore how a whole food plant-based diet can dramatically impact cholesterol levels. Dr. Greger shares which specific foods have been scientifically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and explains the mechanisms behind why they work. The Statin Question When are statins necessary? Dr. Greger offers nuanced guidance on evaluating your individual risk factors and making informed decisions about medication versus dietary intervention. This isn't about all-or-nothing thinking; it's about understanding your unique situation. Practical Implementation From specific supplements that can help to realistic strategies for making sustainable changes, Dr. Greger provides actionable advice you can start using today. He emphasizes that incremental changes can lead to significant health benefits over time. Empowerment Through Knowledge A central theme of our conversation is that understanding your personal health metrics puts you in the driver's seat. Dr. Greger encourages listeners to take control of their health through informed choices rather than feeling powerless or confused. After the interview, stay tuned as Lauren delves into her results and discusses why she still has high LDL even though she has proven heart disease reversal.  https://nutritionfacts.org/ https://nutritionfacts.org/book/portfolio/ https://wellelephant.com/ https://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/ https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/ Follow us and reach out at: Email: lauren@agelikeabadassmother.com Facebook: @WellElephant Instagram: @agelikeabadassmother  https://www.youtube.com/@AgeLikeaBadassMother #DrMichaelGreger, #NutritionFacts, #WholeFoodPlantBased, #EvidenceBasedNutrition, #PreventChronicDisease, #HealthyAgingScience, #FoodAsMedicine, #LongevityLifestyle, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #PlantBasedHealth, #Health, #LDL, #Podcast,
