On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a closer look at the cholesterol conversation and the widespread use of statin medications through a functional health lens. Rather than relying on fear or headlines, he explores how cholesterol numbers are interpreted, the difference between risk markers and root causes, and why metabolic health, inflammation, and lifestyle factors may play a larger role in long-term heart wellness. Jared also explains concepts like absolute risk, number needed to treat (NNT), and why informed decision-making matters when evaluating any health strategy. This episode encourages listeners to ask better questions, seek clarity, and consider a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health that includes nutrition, movement, and targeted supplementation. As always, this discussion is educational and designed to empower you with information so you can make the best decisions for your personal health journey.
