Not all high cholesterol has the same cause, and in some cases a statin is not the right answer. In this video, Dr. John Bartemus shares a case from his office that shows you that "high cholesterol" and "high LDL" aren't always bad. In fact, they may be protecting you. If they are, then taking a statin drug is the worst thing you can do.
Dr. John Bartemus, DC, CFMP, is a functional medicine practitioner and Amazon international number one best-selling author who helps people address the root causes of chronic and autoimmune conditions through Functional Medicine, Functional Neurology, and Functional Immunology.
