Garlic for Cholesterol: How to Use It So It Actually Works

Is garlic overhyped for heart health? You’ve heard it can help balance cholesterol, but does it actually work? And how do you use it to get results?

In this video, I explore how garlic works, why preparation matters, and what research says about garlic’s effects on cholesterol and heart health.

► Learn how crushing, chopping, or mincing garlic helps form allicin, a compound behind many of garlic’s heart benefits.

► Discover why letting garlic rest for ten minutes before cooking can help preserve allicin formation.

► Explore how garlic varieties differ in their allicin content, including why elephant garlic is different from true garlic.

► Review research on garlic and cholesterol, including findings from clinical trials.

► Learn what research has found about aged garlic extract and coronary artery plaque.

Garlic is just one of the herbs we explore in depth in Herbal Heart Health, my brand new course co-taught with herbalist Rich Mandelbaum. Learn to assess energetic patterns, read bloodwork, navigate herb-drug interactions, and choose herbs that fit the person in front of you, working alongside doctors and medications, not around them.
