TWT: How Statins Destroy Your Brain and Body

Millions of people around the world are prescribed statins with the promise of protecting their heart, but what if there’s more to the story than most people are ever told?

On today’s episode, I take an evidence-based look at how statins work in the body and why their effects may extend far beyond simply lowering cholesterol.

We break down eight clinically supported side effects linked to statin use and I also explain why cholesterol alone is not a reliable predictor of heart disease and how excessively low cholesterol levels may pose their own risks.

You’ll learn how statins can impact brain health, exercise adaptation, and overall longevity, as well as what key health markers deserve far more attention when evaluating cardiovascular risk.

So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3637 to learn how statins destroy the body and brain and go over the research-backed pros and cons of one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.

Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!
