🚨🚨 Para un hombre sano mayor de 75 años sin enfermedad cardíaca significativa, el beneficio de las estatinas es solo de 1 en 446 para prevenir un infarto...
A nivel global, de 200 millones a 1.000 millones de personas toman estatinas... Para personas de bajo riesgo, el beneficio absoluto durante 5 años es de solo alrededor del 1%...
En la prevención primaria, las estatinas tienen un NNT de alrededor de 100+ para prevenir un evento cardiovascular grave, mientras que los efectos secundarios afectan al 10–20% de los usuarios...

“High cholesterol” is a made-up medical condition. Cutoff levels are made nearly impossible to stay under if you’re a typical human being. The whole purpose of it is to push people away from the healthiest foods on the planet, meat, and to medicate you. That’s it. You won’t be healthier by having low cholesterol.

Cardiology calls statins miracle drugs. Social media calls them poison.

Both sides cite published scientific papers. How can they be looking at the same evidence and reaching opposite conclusions?

As a cardiologist, I think both sides are are on to something. Let me explain. 🧵

For 15 years the longevity industry told the same story: blood NAD+ crashes with age, so you need to top it up with NR or NMN. A new paper just dropped that bottom line. (1/6)

Your doctor is probably missing 3 things when it comes to your heart health:

Insulin Resistance - the real root cause of heart disease
Inflammation - a key driver most standard panels don't catch
Imaging - coronary calcium scans & CT angiograms reveal your true risk

Most cardiologists still tell patients: “Your cholesterol is the problem. Take this statin.”
After operating on thousands of hearts, I can tell you that’s incomplete at best — and dangerous at worst.

The secret to living to 100+? HIGH CHOLESTEROL!

A massive Swedish study tracking over 800,000 people for 35 years revealed: Every single centenarian had HIGH total cholesterol. The higher your LDL, the longer you live.

Key findings from the Sweden AMORIS study:
- All centenarians: High total cholesterol, high iron, low glucose.
- Highest LDL-C = longest lifespans (backed by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov & Dr. Malcolm Kendrick).

Dangers of low cholesterol:
- LDL <70 mg/dL → 3X higher risk of brain-bleeding strokes.
- Total <180 mg/dL → Skyrocketing cancer & dementia rates.
- <150 mg/dL → Increased chronic diseases like cancer & autoimmunity.
- Statins? They don't extend life—damage mitochondria & hormones instead.

Why your body CRAVES cholesterol:
- Builds every cell & powerhouse mitochondria.
- Absorbs vital vitamins A, D, E, K.
- Powers digestion via bile acids.
- Supercharges immunity against infections, viruses, bacteria, pathogens—even cancer.
- Fights depression, suicide, dementia & cognitive decline.
- Shields from toxins, heavy metals, strokes, heart disease & osteoporosis.
- Fuels ALL steroid hormones (low chol = low testosterone & libido).
- Lowers all-cause mortality risk.

Pro tip: Go low-carb, load up on nutrient-dense animal foods. Grass fed beef, pastured eggs, wild caught seafood...Dump seed oils, sugar & processed garbage. Target TG/HDL ratio <1.5 for elite heart health.

Are you on a tight budget like me?? Seek out a local farmer, butcher & farm market & make a 'bulk large sale deal' for beef at $5/lb & eggs $4/Dz

"I LOVE CHOLESTEROL! Do you know what my Cholesterol is?"

"TAKE A DEEP BREATH.....IT IS 325."
~Dr. Alok Chopra, Cardiologist

"Cholesterol is deeply linked to our immune system. It deactivates bacteria, pathogens, viruses, yeast & mold."

"It controls infections, protecting damage, reducing the chances of AIDS, Alzheimer's, recovery from illness. All of that is done by Cholesterol."

The greatest myth in the field of medicine is that there is a relationship between high cholesterol & heart disease~it does not exist.

There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease.

In fact, low Cholesterol is dangerous & is causal for Heart Attack, Cancer & Stroke.

Cholesterol Is Essential, Without It Our Bodies Cannot Make:
Testosterone
Aldosterone
Cortisol
DHT Dihydrotestosterone
DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone
Estradiol
Estriol
Estrone
Progesterone
Vitamin D

Total cholesterol levels are meaningless. The best biomarker for cardiac health is low Triglycerides & high HDL. The TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 1.5

If I woke up tomorrow obese, with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, gout, constant fatigue, and brain fog.

On 6 different medications.

Here’s exactly what I would do to fix them all and be off all meds…

🧵

[Robert Lufkin MD @robertlufkinmd]

Irisin, a hormone released by muscle during exercise, reverses obesity and insulin resistance in mice -- without cutting food intake or causing muscle loss.

As a medical school professor, I find this striking. We have spent a decade asking how to mimic exercise pharmacologically. Nature Metabolism, April 2026, suggests the body already has the answer built in.

Findings in high-fat-fed mice:

- Irisin boosted IL-33 from stromal cells in visceral fat
- Preserved ST2+ regulatory T cells (which normally collapse on HFD)
- Improved obesity, glucose tolerance, energy expenditure
- Browning of subcutaneous fat increased
- No drop in food intake. No muscle loss.

Mechanism: exercise speaks to the immune system inside fat tissue, and that conversation reverses metabolic dysfunction. Skip it -- chronic sitting, ultra-processed food -- and chronic disease accelerates.

Metabolic dysfunction is the root cause of most chronic disease. Movement is the upstream lever.

Hay historias que inspiran de verdad. 🙌

Claudia Elena Jiménez Borchardt, orgullosamente hermosillense, ha corrido 14 maratones, entre los que destacan los 6 del World Marathon Majors, un reto que muy pocas personas en el mundo alcanzan. 🏃‍♀️

A sus 58 años, es ejemplo de disciplina y constancia.

Muchas felicidades Claudia por tu gran trayectoria deportiva 👏🏼👏🏼

If your doctor checks
your LDL cholesterol
but not your fasting insulin,

it's time for a new doctor.

Another reason to avoid sugars.

This includes starches such as flour, bread, etc.

Inflammation drives aging and
all major chronic diseases.
