What do your cholesterol results mean?

To understand whether you really need statin medication, you should understand what blood tests you need to request from your doctor and what your results actually mean.

Don’t just blindly accept that your need medication because your “cholesterol is high”.

Here is a quick guide for you, swipe through. 👇🏼

Focusing on total/LDL cholesterol alone without looking at the rest of the numbers and your lifestyle is pretty meaningless.

Statins are only useful in lowering your cholesterol if there's metabolic dysfunction present and the mechanism of action is via reducing clotting and inflammation.

But in most cases the same can also be done with dietary and lifestyle changes (and without side effects of medication).

My Wellness Check covers most of these markers and I can also run further markers for you when you work with me.

You can find more information on my website, by booking a free discovery call via my website or emailing me.

Your values and beliefs are not just important determinants of your life in general but crucial for your health too.

They guide and motivate you to do the things you do.

Health is my value No 1.

It gets priority over most things.

It guides me in my actions.

Health is my WHY also for my business.

It's the driving force for what I chose to study over a decade ago (because of my own health issues), for setting up my MetaWell Ltd clinic, for what I do for living now, and all the work I do with clients and corporates as a registered nutrition practitioner.

So when I cook my meals, I think of the quality of the food and the ingredients I'm using, and I ask myself how will they support my health now and in the future.

And I'm instantly more motivated to cook healthier meals.

If I feel like I can't be bothered doing something (usually exercising 😄), I think of why I'm actually doing it, what it is doing to my body and brain, and and how it will be helping my health.

And this makes me get it done.

If my body feels tired or I feel down, I ask what my body needs to feel more energised or happier.

Sometimes the answer is to take a nap, or to slouch on the sofa in front of the TV while eating chocolate, and I then allow myself these too because I know my body needs balance and a giving myself a break will support my health in that moment.

And of course, this same value is my constant guiding principle when helping my clients in clinic.

Does health come up high in your values?
Or is it rather an afterthought?

If the latter, what can you do to move health further up in your priority list?

Because if your health is not in this list, the reality is, unfortunately, that it won't be anyone else's either.

If you don't value your health, who will?

Your body is your only home. If you don't take care of it, where else will you live?

What's your number 1 value?

"Blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming the firefighters for being at the site of fire."

A quote I heard years ago when I was studying for my nutrition degree (sorry can't remember who said it) and if never left me.

It really sums up the problem we have in the mainstream when we are talking about cholesterol and heart disease.

Cholesterol is not the cause, it's an important molecule that is used to repair the damage and is needed for many other functions in the body too.

Your body needs cholesterol!

And did you know that when your doctor runs a blood test to check your cholesterol they are not measuring cholesterol.

Listen to the video for more and stay tuned for further information on cholesterol and other blood markers in my upcoming posts.

Want to know what your risk of heat disease is?

I can run a comprehensive blood test for you that looks at many markers that you have to take into account when determining what your risk is, not just cholesterol.
