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

They bring it inside of them, protein, cholesterol, fatty acids, and all in a little package.

Right.

Now, once it's in our cells, our cells can either use it or they can store it for later if they're like, I want to have a little extra.

Or they might get way too much of it and then they have to send it back out into our bloodstream.

When our cells are going to export extra cholesterol, they do it in a package called HDL or high density lipoprotein.

Okay.

And that is the cholesterol that's being transported from our cells back to our liver so that our liver can recycle it or excrete it into bile acids or whatever our liver is going to do with it.

That makes sense.

So this is LDL being the, you know, quote unquote, bad cholesterol.

Quote unquote bad, because this is what's going from our liver out to our cells floating around in our bloodstream.

And it's small and it is sticky.

So it can get stuck in places in our bloodstream.

But it's also what our cells need to take it up and use it.

And then HDL is what's going from our cells back to our liver to be recycled.

Okay, what's the relationship between, maybe this is jumping ahead, but like the relationship between VLDL and LDL, what decides how much your liver is making?

If high LDL is the problem, how does that, what's that feedback cycle like?

This is a really, really good question, Erin.

The balance between how much of the different types of cholesterol packages that we have, VLDL, LDL, HDL, whatever it is, it depends on a lot of different things.

It depends on how much your liver is making.

And some of that is just genetic.
