The Over 40 Alpha Podcast Episode 160 - The Truth About Cholesterol, Testosterone, and What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real story behind cholesterol—what your doctor probably isn’t telling you, how it actually impacts your testosterone levels, and why blindly following outdated advice could be sabotaging your health.
I’ll explain the difference between good and bad cholesterol, why your total cholesterol number doesn’t tell the full story, and how you can take control of your health using the latest research—without unnecessary medications.
Plus, I’ll give you the exact steps to optimize your cholesterol naturally so you can boost testosterone, lose fat, and stay strong as you age.
If your doctor has ever told you that your cholesterol is too high, you need to hear this before making any decisions.
