We’ve been told: high cholesterol = danger.

We’ve been told: high cholesterol = danger.

But it’s more nuanced.

Studies show both very low and very high cholesterol
can be linked to higher risk.

Because cholesterol isn’t the problem — it’s a signal.

Low levels can reflect:
• undernutrition
• inflammation
• liver or thyroid issues

High levels are often driven by:
• insulin resistance
• high sugar / refined carbs
• poor metabolic health

What actually matters:

- ApoB (particle number)
• inflammation
• metabolic health

Also: eating cholesterol (like eggs)
doesn’t automatically raise blood levels.

The goal isn’t to chase a number — it’s to understand what’s driving it.
