This Podcast Will Kill You · Ep 217 The High Stakes of Cholesterol · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

Okay.

Now, we have a bunch of different kinds of lipoproteins, lipo, fat, protein, protein, and they all serve different functions.

most of our cholesterol is made in our liver, right?

So our liver takes the cholesterol that it makes along with other fatty acids and connects it to a protein and sends it out in a box that we call VLDL or very low density lipoprotein, right?

So it sends that package out and that is the type of cholesterol package that our cells are going to end up using, right?

Along the way in our bloodstream, this VLDL gets broken down a bit and eventually becomes a smaller box of cholesterol and other fats.

That we call LDL or low-density lipoprotein.

Right.

So VLDL and LDL, these are the lipoproteins.

These are the packages of cholesterol that our cells are taking up and using for cholesterol.

Okay.

So these are the things that our liver is making to say, here you go.

Here you go.

You said you needed some cholesterol to make your cell membranes or make some hormones or whatever.

Mm-hmm.

Here's this package.

Starts out VLDL, turns into LDL.

Our cells take that up.

Our cells are like, awesome, I got this.

They grab onto it.
