When your doctor starts talking about cholesterol levels, it's easy to tune out. But here's the truth: what you don't know about cholesterol could be affecting your health in ways you never realised, including your sexual function and overall vitality. Our team of
Australian professional practitioners have spent years working with men over 40, and we've noticed a pattern. Most blokes have picked up half-truths about cholesterol from mates, the internet, or outdated advice. These myths stick around, leading to poor health decisions. Today, we want to set the record straight.
The Myths that are holding you back...
Myth #1 - All Cholesterol is bad
Your body needs cholesterol. It's essential for producing hormones, building cells, and creating vitamin D. The real culprit is LDL cholesterol, which builds up in your arteries. HDL cholesterol actually protects your heart. The goal is balance, not elimination.
Genetics play a massive role in cholesterol levels. Some men maintain healthy cholesterol eating whatever they want, whilst others following strict diets still have elevated levels. If you're over 40, regular blood tests are non-negotiable. You need to know your numbers.
Cholesterol medication works best alongside lifestyle changes, not instead of them. Think of medication as support, not a free pass.
