99: Cholesterol, Menopause & Heart Health: What Every Woman Should Know

This special bonus episode of Dig It is brought to you by Benecol, the food lowering cholesterol brand.

This week, Jo and Zoe are joined by registered Dietitian and Dietetic Adviser at HEART UK, Lynne Garton, for an honest and informative conversation about heart health, cholesterol, menopause and the small lifestyle changes that can make a real difference.

Why does cholesterol matter? Why are women in midlife particularly affected? And why do so many people have high cholesterol without even realising it?

Jo also opens up about Disco Steve’s cholesterol diagnosis, family eating habits growing up, and the surprisingly healthy contents of her “big soup meal”.

Benecol is all about “life that keeps on moving” and they’re giving one lucky winner £2,000 towards a holiday of their choice.
