Radio Naturopath Episode 542: New Cholesterol Drug, Cholesterol Supplements, Statins and Weight Gain
This week, we reviewed the latest on cyclosporiasis. Hint: DON'T stop eating produce. Shop local! Go the farmer's markets and talk to the actual farmers about their growing practices! Then, it was all about cholesterol. There's a new drug on the market, an oral PCSK-9 inhibitor, before which there were only injectables. Is it a good idea to focus so much on lowering cholesterol? I talk about the importance of addressing oxidative stress, and how it's at least as important as lowering cholesterol levels. Then we discussed a few supplements. I'm a big fan of amla!
