Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode of Dr. Jockers’ Functional Nutrition Podcast, you’ll learn why cholesterol is vital for hormones, vitamin D, and cell repair.

Dr. Jockers highlights the importance of your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio and why aiming for under 2 is key. This episode challenges the myth that all high LDL is dangerous.   Dr. Jockers also uncovers root causes of high cholesterol, like insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and toxins. Learn why lean mass hyper-responders—with high LDL, high HDL, and low triglycerides—are often metabolically healthy. Look beyond the numbers and address what’s really driving your cholesterol.
