Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality. In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I dive into the complex world of cholesterol and heart health, focusing on what midlife women need to understand about their cholesterol levels. We’d break down the myths, discuss the impact of menopause, and provide actionable insights for women who want to take control of their heart health beyond just focusing on a “number.” This episode is packed with crucial information, whether you’ve been told to worry about your cholesterol or are curious about statin alternatives. Key Highlights: Deep dive into how cholesterol supports other vital body functions. Discussion of “good and bad” cholesterol. Understanding the common side effects and long-term considerations for women on statins, especially in midlife. Discover how cholesterol levels can impact estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels. How hormonal shifts can influence cholesterol levels, potentially impacting cardiovascular health and metabolism. Learn the alternative approaches and lifestyle changes as effective methods to support heart health without relying solely on medication. The rising concerns about dementia and Alzheimer’s in women and how managing insulin resistance early on can be protective. How high cholesterol and metabolic imbalances can impact brain health. Key Takeaways: “The body is an amazing machine. It is not deficient in all these things. What it gets sufficient in is good nutrients, good fuel, good timing of that fuel and the messaging to the data and the machine in there that's looking for that data called micronutrients, minerals, essential minerals, amino acids, protein, all about what we feed our body, what we fuel our microbes with.” -Dr. Heidi “If you have poor blood pressure and poor blood flow, you're not getting oxygen to your brain. You're not getting nutrients to your brain. You're denying it some of the fat, the cholesterol.” -Kellie *FREE GIFT 🎁 Grab my Mini-Course here to get you started in creating habits to regain your Energy in 3 simple steps.⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://members.thelupshas.com/mini-course⁠⁠ 1️⃣ Dive into personalized guidance and create lasting change, apply for my exclusive 1:1 High Performance Health Coaching program!
