Cholesterol and Heart Health

I hear conflicting opinions about this a lot.

Does cholesterol directly impact your CV health, or do you need more going on?

I understand a more or less holistic approach where you eat relatively traditional, healthy diets with plenty of exercise, low bodyfat, stress, etc. aligns with healthy outcomes.



Does anyone here know specifically where the science clarifies causes of ISD?

Do you think medicines to remove all your cholesterol help or cause more trouble than they're worth?

Do you think supplements, healthy fats or any other tricks make a difference?
