Whenever someone asks me how they’re supposed to ditch dieting if they have high cholesterol, I love opening their eyes with the wide array of strategies that can help lower their numbers - without cutting out things like butter or eggs, and meticulously logging everything in MyFitnessPal.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind-the-scenes on how I discovered I have high cholesterol at 22 years old, and the multitude of things I’ve done to manage it (some strategies more effective than others). I share the things that help, the things that were too extreme, and what I’m currently experimenting with to support my cholesterol levels like supplements, certain foods, and a new type of movement I’ve added in recently.

This is partially a personal story, and partially a lesson in how to leverage gentle nutrition and lifestyle (rather than restriction and dieting) to directly address high cholesterol. I’m not holding back - I am also sharing the immediate thoughts and feelings that went through my head whenever I’d get my labs back, and how I think completely differently now.

If you’ve ever worried that intuitive eating might be bad for your health, or that you “have to” restrict your food because of your bloodwork, this episode is for you!

Episode Highlights

  • What I could have done…and why I didn’t
  • How I’m actually navigating my high cholesterol now (vs what I used to do)
  • The mindset work that has moved me from shame and fear >> to calm and empowered
  • What I want YOU to know about managing your health

Today’s Wellness Woo is wellness shots.
