For decades, cholesterol has been blamed for heart disease—but the science tells a different story. This in-depth article dismantles common cholesterol myths, examines the real drivers of cardiovascular risk, and explains why inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, and nutrient depletion matter far more than cholesterol numbers alone.
Metabolic syndrome is more than a collection of abnormal lab values—it reflects a breakdown in metabolic regulation involving insulin resistance, visceral fat, inflammation, and lifestyle signaling. This article explains what metabolic syndrome really means, why it develops even in people trying to be healthy, and how a root-cause, systems-based approach can help restore metabolic health naturally.
