A new client (let’s call him “Bob”) recently showed me his latest round of bloodwork and two things popped out at me: First, his cholesterol numbers were low across the board. Good, right? Well, not so fast. Your body needs fats, without which you would not have a brain (the brain is roughly 60% fat). Therefore, your body needs cholesterol, which has undeservedly taken a bad rap over the last few decades. But that’s a post for a different time. The point is that Bob’s lipid results were so low that it looked like he was getting “help” from pharmaceuticals, so I asked if he was on a statin, to which he responded in the affirmative. Particularly worrisome to me…
