In this episode, I walk through why statins are prescribed (especially with LDL above 190 mg/dL or with type 2 diabetes), and I explain how statin marketing can make the benefits look bigger than they really are by using relative risk instead of absolute risk. I also cover major concerns I see with statins, including nutrient depletion (like CoQ10) and potential impacts on muscle function over time. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
