Is the day full of chronic fatigue, hormonal problems, or unrelenting stress? Do you know that cholesterol may be the reason why your health is not as good as it used to be or not as good as it could be if you do something about it? Now it is high time to focus on real facts about cholesterol and how the correct balance can improve the energy level in a person and prolong his life span. Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How cholesterol helps in normal operations such as synthesis of hormones, having a healthy brain, and body energy.
- The unveiled relationship between the cholesterol levels and stress endurance, energy and mood.
- How to get good cholesterol and what it does for your body? Some practical advices.
Balanced Cholesterol: The Secret to Optimal Health
In the final years of my father’s life, his cholesterol levels had dropped significantly, falling to 160 or below. Previously, his cholesterol had been quite high. It’s not surprising that he experienced depression and fatigue, which blood tests suggested might be linked to low testosterone. When I first started practicing after chiropractic school, my cholesterol levels were notably high, exceeding 200 and approaching 300. It should be noted, however, the belief that high levels of cholesterol is always bad is a fallacy; increased cholesterol is not necessarily bad for health: on the contrary, the elderly stand a better chance of not dying of fatal diseases if they have high cholesterol. But in some instances, it may be a sign of hypothyroidism.
This is an essential topic to understand regarding cholesterol and what needs to be done if the blood cholesterol levels rise or fall to an unsafe level. Literature shows that cholesterol is vitally essential for the synthesis of sex hormones, longevity and vitality hormones.
Cholesterol plays several vital roles:
- Managing stress
- Synthezising reproductive and sex hormones
- Generating energy
- Chronically ensuring that we have normal blood sugar levels
- There is evidence to suggest that it works to support body repair and regeneration or anti aging.
- Maintaining the sound health of brain, moods, cognition and memory.
- The other about helping in build up the strength, endurance and power of an individual.
Cholesterol is not an enemy of the body. However, if cholesterol levels go high, it may suggest that a person has inadequate stress adaptation.
What kind of cholesterol do you prefer high, low or normal cholesterol levels?
The usual modification of cholesterol consumption in your diet does not vary your blood plasma cholesterol by a percent more than 15%. Therefore insulin deficiency or thyroid hormones deficiency increases blood cholesterol while excess thyroid hormones decrease it. Within the last few years there has been a great concern whether high or low cholesterol level is better. At times, and in the midst of all these considerations, people forget about the right cholesterol levels.

Key Facts About Cholesterol
-

-
It is not a fat but it is fat soluble.
-
Permanent cell shape and flexibility in the cell membrane is achieved through optimal proportions of phospholipids, fatty acids and cholesterol molecules.
-
Cholesterol, actually plays a vital role in the process of the arterial repair, as it helps to form scar tissue in arteries damaged through such diseases as atherosclerosis.
-
The head is well known to contain high density of cholesterol that is required in the day-to-day functioning of the human brain. High cholesterol in eggs has been found to enhance
-
memory in old aged people.
-
They can also go up due to the normal functioning of the immune system especially in cases of chronic inflammations.

You have various types of lipoproteins, which are substances made up of cholesterol and other lipid components.
- Most lipoproteins are produced in your liver.
- The primary role of lipoproteins is to transport lipids through your bloodstream.
- VLDLs (Very Low-Density Lipoproteins) carry triglycerides to fat tissues throughout your body.
- LDLs (Low-Density Lipoproteins) and IDLs (Intermediate-Density Lipoproteins) play crucial roles in transporting phospholipids and cholesterol between your liver and peripheral tissues.
- It’s misguided to consider these lipoproteins harmful or to blame them for heart disease, as they are essential for the function of every cell in your body.
- LDLs are sometimes labeled as “bad cholesterol” because, when exposed to excessive glucose, free radicals, iron, homocysteine, insulin, and toxins, they can become oxidized. This oxidation can lead to inflammation and plaque formation in the arteries, a condition known as arteriosclerosis. However, it’s important to recognize that it is excess dietary sugars and starches that are problematic, not LDL cholesterol itself.
The misconception that cholesterol is harmful often stems from its presence in areas affected by conditions like atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis.

Whole Dessicated Spleen (Spleen Desiccated) – Sam loves this product. When we gave same the Dessicated Spleen to chew with each of his meals, his energy went through the roof and his mood also improved. It really made a big difference for him. His dosage was 4 with breakfast, 4 with lunch and 4 with dinner.
Fen-cho – We also gave Sam Fen-cho. Fen-cho is a bile salts product. Your liver makes bile and then stores it in your gallbladder. Many people have been exposed to too many poisons and toxins that have caused them to have a toxic liver and/or gallbladder. Sometimes a product like Fen-cho can really help your liver and gallbladder to function better. We had sam take 1 pill three times a day for a week and then 2 pills 3 times per day for a week and then 3 pills three times a day for a week and then back down to 1 pill three times a day for a week. We did not want his body to get too used to the bile salts to we made sure to regularly adjust the dosage. This also helped Sam with his mood and energy and cholesterol.
Chlorophyll Complex Perles – We gave Sam this product to help with the viscosity of his blood and to reduce inflammation in his body.
