Description

In today's episode, we dive deep into the heart of a controversial and often misunderstood topic: the relationship between cholesterol levels and dementia. For decades, the push to lower cholesterol has been a cornerstone of cardiovascular health. But what if this well-intentioned advice had unintended consequences for our brains?Join me as we explore the dual nature of cholesterol, a substance vilified for its association with heart disease yet essential for brain health and function. This episode unfolds the complex science behind cholesterol, shedding light on how it supports cognitive functions, protects the brain, and the downstream cognitive impacts of lowering it.Inside Tracker – https://insidetracker.com/louisa - CODE LOUISA for 20% offSponsor:Bon Charge: -CODE NEURO 15% OFFThe Neuro Athletics Newsletter Instagram: @louisanicola_Twitter : @louisanicola_YouTube: @Louisa NicolaThe Neuro Experience Podcast is proud to have hosted: Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Dr Layne Norton, Thomas DeLauer, Shawn Stevenson, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, Saad Alam, Uma Naidoo, Dr. Lanna Cheuck, Angela Lee Pucci, Jillian Turecki, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum, Dr. Darren Candow, Dr. Sue Varma, Evy Poumpouras, Dr Casey Means, Renee Deehan, Dr Chris Palmer, Dr Charles Brenner.
