Options for high cholesterol. Best tests to take. What herbs can help? | Ep. 238

Feeling Stuck with High Cholesterol? 

If you’ve ever been told by your doctor that your cholesterol is “too high,” you probably walked away feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and maybe even a little scared. You’re doing your best—eating what you think is “healthy,” staying active, trying to make the right choices—but now you’re facing the possibility of a lifetime of medication and worrying about your heart health more than ever.

Maybe you’ve even asked your doctor: What can I do naturally? And the only advice you got was, Watch your diet. Cut back on red meat and eggs.

But something doesn’t add up.

With so many people on cholesterol-lowering medications, shouldn’t we be seeing fewer cases of heart disease, dementia, and metabolic disorders? Yet, these conditions are on the rise. So what’s really going on here?

In This Episode, Dr. Bart shares:

✅ Why cholesterol isn’t the enemy – and what’s actually causing cardiovascular issues
✅ The tests your doctor SHOULD be running (but likely isn’t) to get the full picture
✅ What really raises “bad” cholesterol – and it’s not what you think
✅ The best natural supplements to support healthy lipid metabolism and balance
✅ How diet plays a bigger role than medication and why your approach may need a reset

The 4 Key Tests You Need To Be Asking For:

Your standard lipid panel isn’t enough! Dr. Bart explains why you need:

• HDL to Triglyceride Ratio – More important than your total cholesterol number
• LDL Particle Size – Determines if your LDL is truly problematic
• Insulin Resistance Score – The missing piece most doctors overlook
• Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) – One of the strongest markers for cardiovascular risk

Dr. Bart’s Top Supplements for Cholesterol Support:

The right natural solutions can help regulate cholesterol metabolism without side effects:
🔹 Zypan – Supports digestion and nutrient absorption for better fat metabolism
🔹 Cod Liver Oil – Provides essential omega-3s and naturally occurring Vitamin A & D for heart and brain health
🔹 Olprima EPA/DHA – High-potency omega-3s to fight inflammation and support healthy cholesterol levels
🔹 Berberine Active – A powerful plant-based extract that supports lipid metabolism and blood sugar balance

Here’s the Bottom Line:

Cholesterol is NOT the villain it’s been made out to be. Your body needs it to function properly, and simply “lowering the numbers” with medication doesn’t address the root cause of cardiovascular disease.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want real answers, this episode is for you. Because when it comes to your health, you deserve options.
