For so long we were told that having low LDL cholesterol is the key to preventing heart disease, which led to doctors overprescribing statins to keep LDL low. Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs provides a powerful way to reduce your risk of heart attacks. But is this really true?
In this mini-episode Dr. Hyman sits down with internationally renowned Consultant Cardiologist and best-selling author of The Pioppi Diet, Dr. Aseem Malhotra. Dr. Malhotra has become one of the most influential and well-known health campaigners, and a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK. Together, Dr. Hyman and Dr. Malhotra discuss the effectiveness of statin drugs on heart disease, and Dr. Malhotra discusses why he believes that reducing insulin resistance may be the key to better heart health.

I think that there is some truth here. 5 years ago, I lost quite a bit of weight and also gave up many forms of sugar. Before that, I was constantly tired and always very weak, to the point that I had to adopt many strategies just to get through the day. I was able to do things again, ride my bike, hike, so on long walks. Over COVID, I regained a lot of weight and got back into sugar, I found my energy levels were lower. My PCP wanted to start me on a statin (moderately high cholesterol). Which I did around 4 months ago. Now, I have full-blown weakness and fatigue again. This is my story, an "n" of one. But it seems valid to me. I'm putting my statin on hold for a month and monitoring my fatigue. I need to lose weight and get off the sugar, a harder option... but trying. I'm not telling anyone else to do this; this is my own little experiment.

I hope you won't stop taking your statin without letting your Doctor know...If you don't trust your present Doctor enough to tell him, find a new Doctor you can trust as soon as you can...you deserve medical support you can trust...

I stopped taking statins because, like many folk I suffered muscle pain and cramps in my legs and believed that the statin I was on was responsible. The pains continued regardless so I went back on to the statin again. When I was off the statins I developed blockages in two arteries so I had to have three stents inserted to open them up. Unless my muscle cramps get progressively worse I will probably stay on the statins.

If I were you I would show this video to your doc. Dr. Malhotra is a very well respected and preeminent physician. Same with Dr. Hyman. Another video by Dwight Lundell, MD, a cardiologist in AZ. would be helpful also. If your doc is at least willing to look into it, there may be hope. If not, I would be looking for another Dr. Also, I just told my doctor no thank you to statins.😊

I had a heart attack took statins for years had another heart attack, Quit taking them because obviously they didn’t prevent it, and two, muscle aches were terrible. Started a low carb high protein diet, shed weight, got lien, feel better than ever. All my markers went down except LDL but I don’t know which particle type because I need a NMR to know that. Which I asked for but didn’t get. My Cardiologist wants me back on statins 😳

I got my LDL down to 62 and HDL to 85 with Diet. I always worked out 5 days a week but it was the diet that did it. Prior numbers were usually around 90 and 67... Cut the processed crap out and keep the sugars low as possible, Olive oil only and berberine and Tumeric also helped. Good luck to you. I was on Statins too but they were horrible for my joints

A reduced calorie intake, healthy balanced diet with exercise. Sure, low carb, high fat diet would improved HBA1C markers but the long term effect of high saturated fat on thr body is equally as bad. So short term a low carb diet would work but you should aim for healthy balance filled with fibre and wholegrain once you've improved your bio markers amd impeded insulin sensitivity

Please try a high dose of COQ10/ Ubiquinol which is the reduced form of COQ10 but is absorbed into the body much better. This is necessary for every muscle and cell in your body and your heart is the largest muscle. COQ10 is produced from the liver but from the age of 30 production starts to diminish. Please try ubiquinol for your heart.
