481: Help! I Have High Cholesterol with Dr. Tom Cowan

The doctor looks you in the eye and says, "You have high cholesterol." Now what? Statins are not the answer! Not by a long shot! Dr. Tom Cowan of the New Biology Clinic reminds us that there is no correlation between high cholesterol and heart attacks, heart disease, or early death. He sheds light on the HDL/LDL ratio questions and suggests that cholesterol tests, in the first place, do not provide helpful data in any case. Find out what Tom recommends instead to maintain a healthy heart and a healthy lifestyle.

The Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health based on traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found through “improving” nature. On the contrary, “life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed,” as Dr. Weston Price put it. We can learn from healthy societies of the past how to live healthier lives now. The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to follow traditional food and health ways to live our best lives. Our host and producer, Hilda Labrada Gore, interviews experts on a wide variety of topics—ranging from nutrient-dense foods to improving mental health to homesteading to detoxing to healing emotional trauma to the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Every episode offers the listener a way to heal, grow and live a more vibrant and happy life.
