This episode comes straight from my heart.

I recently joined my mom at a doctor’s appointment, and what I witnessed left me frustrated, sad, and more determined than ever to speak out. The physician flat-out told us that “lifestyle factors don’t matter” when it comes to cholesterol and quickly pushed prescriptions instead.

But here’s the truth: lifestyle absolutely matters. What you eat, how you move, how you manage stress, and even how you sleep all impact your heart health.

In this episode, I share:
 ✅ The story of my mom’s doctor’s visit that sparked this conversation
 ✅ Why lifestyle changes do make a real difference in cholesterol levels
✅ 5 simple, science-backed strategies you can start today
✅ How to confidently advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office (without feeling dismissed)

This isn’t about rejecting medicine it’s about empowering yourself to take control of your health and never let anyone tell you your daily choices don’t matter.
