The New You

Think all cholesterol is bad? Think again!

Our bodies make 3000 mg of cholesterol each day. Babies are born with higher cholesterol, and our brains are composed of it.

Cholesterol is vital for our cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D, bile salts, repair, and immunity.

There are two types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. HDL carries cholesterol from the cells back to the liver for recycling, while LDL delivers cholesterol to the cells.

LDL cholesterol is often labeled “bad,” but that isn’t always true. Small, dense LDL particles can cause inflammation and other problems, but this typically occurs only when your glucose is high or you have insulin resistance. If you’re on a low-carb diet and you don’t have insulin resistance, you’ll have more large, buoyant LDL.

It’s important not to fear cholesterol, as low levels can come with major consequences. Instead, avoid consuming refined sugar and starches that can lead to small, dense LDL.
