Semper Reformanda Medicina. Always reforming medicine and health to conform with God’s design for the world.

Better approach for cholesterol: Address root causes instead of just lowering a number.

Focus on:
-Strength training (highly effective)
-Optimizing sleep
-Managing stress
-Avoiding seed oils and ultra-processed foods

These lifestyle steps improve insulin sensitivity and reduce chronic inflammation — supporting your body’s natural balance far better than masking symptoms with a pill.

True health comes from working with God’s design, not against it.

Statins come with real risks. Common side effects include:

-Muscle pain (2-13%)
-New-onset diabetes (~3%)
-Constipation (3-5%), nausea (4-6%)
-Liver enzyme elevation
-Headache, dizziness, fatigue
-Joint pain, cognitive issues, depression, sleep problems, and peripheral neuropathy

Many patients experience these, yet they’re often downplayed.

If cholesterol is vital for so many functions, disrupting it comes at a cost.

Always weigh benefits vs. harms.

It is massively important to consider funding sources and incentives.

[Dr. Ammous @AmmousMD]

The funding source of a study determines its findings.

So when patients and doctors started linking statins to dementia

→ Pharma-funded studies claimed statins protect against dementia.

[Reformed Health @ReformedHealth]

Why do statins get pushed so hard?

They lower LDL, but the cardiovascular benefit is heavily exaggerated through clever marketing.

Take the Crestor approval trial:
-Placebo group: 68 heart attacks out of 8,901 (0.76%)
-Crestor group: 31 heart attacks out of 8,901 (0.35%)

Absolute risk reduction = just 0.41%

But the drug company marketed it as a “50% reduction” in risk (relative risk reduction).

Sounds impressive… until you see the actual numbers. Less than 1% risk in both groups.

This is how statistics get weaponized.

Cholesterol is NOT the enemy.

It’s essential for:

→Immune function
→Brain health
→Digestion
→Building all steroid hormones (including testosterone & progesterone)
→Making cortisol, CoQ10, and heme (oxygen carrier in red blood cells)

It strengthens cell walls and rises during infection as a protective response.

Your body makes it for a reason.

Raw milk laws vary by state. Check https://t.co/Tt9v6hWd4O.

Get to know your farmer — pasture & care matter.

Worth the extra effort as a health investment.

God’s design is best.

Raw milk is linked to fewer respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma.

It naturally ferments while pasteurized milk rots.

God made milk to be nourishing in its natural state.

[Reformed Health @ReformedHealth]

Raw milk has natural enzymes like lactase that help digestion.

Many lactose-intolerant individuals handle it fine.

Pasteurization destroys enzymes, vitamins, and good bacteria.

Why raw milk is different:

[Reformed Health @ReformedHealth]

Our breastfed baby had constant aggressive spit-up.

My wife added raw milk to her diet and it resolved in 3 weeks.

Now we know our farmers and thank God for real milk.

@SecKennedy Common sense!

[Reformed Health @ReformedHealth]

“Temporary” health measures that are extended indefinitely — sound familiar?

Milk pasteurization started the same way in dirty 1800s cities. Once sanitation improved, the mandates never went away.

Quick history lesson:

Milk pasteurization was a “temporary” health measure that became permanent.

God designed us for real foods — not industrial seed oils.

Let’s return to His good design, one faithful step at a time.

Seed oils hide in chips, crackers, dressings, fried food & most restaurant meals.

Practical tip: Shop the outer aisles & read labels.

You don’t have to be perfect — just progress.

@Brian_Sauve Happy anniversary!

God gave us better fats: butter, ghee, lard, tallow & olive oil.

Small swaps = big impact for your health.

500°F heat 🔥 + chemicals + bleaching = industrial seed oils.

They bypass our God-given senses and fuel inflammation in the body.

Hidden in almost everything we eat.

Watch why we should avoid them 👆
