Lowering Cholesterol with Diet

In America, we've gotten way too used to hearing about high cholesterol. And have normalized popping pills to combat a diagnosis that can easily be resolved with diet.

The traditional American diet screams heart disease, diabetes, you name it. Why?

Because we eat too much fried dough and spend too much time stressed and stationary, basically.

But we can absolutely turn that around with some diet changes, a few extra steps added to our step count and some daily deep breaths. So before you opt for cholesterol meds (which by the way have a long list of side effects), consider some simple diet swaps.

I'm sure the advice you've heard is: get rid of saturated fats. Right?

In my opinion, saturated fats themselves aren't the enemy. It's the combination of saturated fats from trans fats and bad fat sources + SUGAR 👇🏼

❌ Donuts, deep fried foods, cookies, packaged foods made with inflammatory seed oils, cakes, pastries, you get it.

Saturated fats from, say, grass-fed steak or yummy coconut yogurt, or of course pasture raised eggs, are not what's killing us.

I'll keep it so simple for you: eat nothing but whole, real, organic foods, ditch the sugar, and your cholesterol will no longer be an issue 👇🏼

✅ Tons of veggies, fruit, grass-fed steak, wild caught fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, sweet potatoes, quinoa, for example.

If it's from the earth, it's pretty fair game.

Here's my cholesterol dos and don'ts guide if you need to take it a step further, or prefer to be extra cautious by keeping the saturated fats to a minimum 🙃
