E127: Cholesterol Doesn’t Cause Heart Disease: w/ Dr. Malcolm Kendrick

Is cholesterol really the villain? Or have we been misled by decades of flawed research?

In this explosive interview, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick—author of The Great Cholesterol Con—challenges the mainstream narrative around heart disease, cholesterol, and statins. He unpacks the real root causes of cardiovascular disease, including blood clotting, stress, and the overlooked role of chronic inflammation.

We discuss:

• Why statins may not be the miracle drugs you think
• How the diet-heart hypothesis went mainstream (despite weak evidence)
• The role of gum disease, cortisol, and even loneliness in heart attacks
• What the data actually says about LDL cholesterol and mortality
• What you should really be doing to protect your heart
