hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about cholesterol I want

to give you the facts about cholesterol

right now there’s a huge push to put

everyone in cholesterol medication and

to drive down the cholesterol way way

way I think is too low a normal

cholesterol is 200 that’s the top level

200 about twenty years ago it used to be

225 so they keep lowering it down to 150

they’re trying to get it down to 100 and

even if it is normal people stay in the

medication because they think well just

as a preventive thing because they’re

concerned about cholesterol clogging the

arteries but let’s just take a look at

about what cholesterol really really is

cholesterol is a precursor it’s a

building block to all the sex hormones

testosterone estrogen progesterone

cortisol so when you cut this thing out

or cut it down too far you basically

starve off your hormones you start

having problems with estrogen

progesterone testosterone and things

like that and that’s why men that take

cholesterol-lowering medication they end

up with low tea well you need

cholesterol to build it up the other

thing that people don’t realize is that

sugar and refined carbohydrates

especially breads pasta cereal crackers

viscous waffles pancakes all convert

into cholesterol yes

that’s where it really comes from so

what we should be doing is adjusting

that not adjusting this cholesterol also

acts as a band-aid so it helps heal the

arteries the reason why it goes in the

arteries in the first place is there

some type of inflammation or something

that needs to be healed and cholesterol

comes in there and forms a little bit of

a band-aid but guess what causes the

inflammation high insulin from the sugar

people eat other fact is that 90 percent

of the cholesterol is recycled so if

cholesterol was so bad why does our body

recycle it it’s good it gets recycled

through the gallbladder and the liver

and even the intestines so in the

gallbladder you have something called

bile that helps to break down

cholesterol people that don’t have a

goal

or have a liver problem or don’t have

enough bio their cholesterol will tend

to build up and they can get a fatty

liver so what do we do trying to lower

the cholesterol why not just give the

person some bile salts to help break

down - to balance this cholesterol they

don’t do that all the cells on your body

need cholesterol the AI needs

cholesterol the red nut needs

cholesterol these are some facts that

you need to know to explain your doctor

and to know yourself before you start

jumping on the medication because

there’s things that you can do naturally

I would start with eliminating the sugar

and maybe even supporting the liver or

getting some bile salts and then if it

comes back to normal then why take the

medication because there’s a lot of side

effects so I just want to briefly cover

the facts about cholesterol hope that

helped and I’ll see you in the next
