We wake up in the morning. We're stressed. Our blood sugar is all dysregulated because of the cortisol

from not sleeping well. We run to the local Starbucks. We buy a 900 calorie low fat blueberry muffin

and a venti, whatever. The pancreas is going cold blue, cold blue. It's circulating all this

insulin, except the muscle cells are going, what do we need it for? This guy's going to sit all day

at the computer at work, and when he comes home, he's going to sit in front of the couch with the

clicker. We don't need the glucose, folks. We close our doors, and the cells, the muscle cells,

I'm your host, Bethany Cameron, and today's guest is Dr. Johnny Bowden, who is the author

of The Great Cholesterol Myth.

And today we dive deep into what cholesterol is and why our body needs it, how it plays an important role in our hormones,

what we got wrong about cholesterol, different diets for cholesterol lifestyle changes,

and so much more.
