I had a “mini stroke” about a month ago. MRI came back ok (layman here looking up and researching what the report says) and carotid arteries are fine. I have had high cholesterol all of my 74 years. I took Lipitor for a while and quit taking it because I felt horrible. Both of my parents had very high cholesterol and my Mom’s carotid arteries were 95% blocked on both sides. She was almost 95 when she passed and my Dad was 93. I have to go see my doctor this Thursday and I KNOW she will be lecturing me about taking statins. I’ve told her no since I first started seeing her and will do the same until I leave this earth! I may need to change doctors because I’m not buying the big pharma thing anymore! I’m watching some of your past videos and am learning so much! Thank you for all you do!❤️
I appreciate your OPINION T. S. WARD! I briefly tried a statin and after not sleeping for 4 days straight, I took myself off of it. The doctor wanted to "try" a lesser dose, but I refused that too. I prefer to go as natural as possible and with God's help, I will!
I was an RN until I had the sense to retire I researched cholesterol years ago and my conclusion was that the entire cholesterol story was a big scam by the pharmaceutical industry. Statins, beta blockers and few other meds are what I called ‘just in case’ meds. In fact one drug I worked out that only 2 in 100 people might benefit, the rest took it for nothing. Go back to the 80s and see how that coincided with HRT and the amount of hysterectomies performed. The allopathic medical industry for the most part is not your friend. Yes if you get knocked down by a bus then it’s great, but for long term conditions, many of which are lifestyle induced, they are useless and often downright dangerous.
I am very happy when I hear people with smarts. I never take medication of any kind not even the covid shot. These evil people wants t force things on you, and I just refuse to listen my ldl is 2.88 my hdl is 2.44 my dr thinks I should take lipitor, she has been so persistent about it I took the prescription, but never filled it. I took my blood work to another dr, she told me noting was wrong with my cholesterol. I took my papers to a naturopathic dr. Who told me every thing was good. Except, he wanted me toget my Alc below 6. It was 6.2, so every thing is going good when I get up in the mornings, my sugar is 3.9 to 5.2 so I know I am on the right track .don't for one minute that thes drs, know much more than you. Many of the bright minds quit school early and have been very successful. So use your own judgment.
A senior friend of mine had a bad experience with lipitor, after taking it for 6 months, he started having serious brain fog and thought he was getting dementia. He stopped taking the lipitor, and slowly over a year he finally got rid of the brain fog and it turns out, he doesn’t have dementia after all.
Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) will help tremendously with brain fog. Cognitive issues. It comes from coconut oil. My son is a traumatic brain injury patient. Putting him on this was like opening the door for him. Much more alert, talkative, even conversation. Playing cards games. Things he wasn't doing prior to MCT
@@graftedinforever971 Wow, that is amazing! I like to use coconut milk fo making golden milk, and I also cook with it regularly, it’s my favourite oil.
I love that you say, "God is good, all the time".........SOOOOO important for that message to be first and foremost in our hearts and minds. Thank you, for all you do!!!!
Hi Heidi. I know you know this, but a few of our community may not. When using natural supplements, please remember there will not be instant results. The natural ingredients tend to work with your body. They may take longer to work for some people. It may be days or months to really see results. In this day & age, people sometimes expect instant results. Sometimes it is better if results are improved over a span of time. This allows your individual body to work with a supplement. Plus the results will be longer lasting. Stay safe. Keep prepping. God bless.
Right and thank you for bringing that up. Same applies to assuming just taking an herb or supplement will cure a disease when there is much more to it than that. I think this mentality comes from big pharma medicine where there is always "a pill for that"
I love you guys stay strong in Christ Jesus is the way to go girl with your God 😂❤Whenever you start your program and end it God is good all the time ❤
I’m loving your channel! I don’t and haven’t ever really believed the pharmaceutical industry. Partly because I didn’t have the money but now that I’m older I see I was on the right path. Please keep sharing and by the way I’m 62
Thank you, Heidi, for more helpful information!! I remember growing up and my grandmother had high cholesterol and she was on meds, they told her not to eat butter, so switched to margarine, Crisco, vegetable oils and her cholesterol was still high. When I started going to school for nursing, I believed what they spouted. Well, I started looking into health and a little herbalism, and was telling my grandma not to eat these things; but she trusted her doctor; so, she still ate those things. The problem that was going on with her was heat issues as well. Grandma never got off the lipitor and still had high cholesterol. My mom as well is on cholesterol meds too! but she smokes, eat not good, and again they trust what the doctors feed them. I am not on any cholesterol meds, and I will not go on them. Heidi, like you I will try it with healthy things first, by eating good things and herbs, vitamins; before taking things that will cause other things. Thank you, Heidi, for another good informational video.
I stopped taking medicine about 4 years ago. In the mean time my doctor kept pushing cholesterol med. RESuVASTIN 40 MG. 1 daily . Every time she checks my cholesterol, and BP she is scarring me . I started to be frightened. Apparently my triglycerides is high . So, I surrender. 3 day's so far . But doubt is there already. I am a smoker. That's bad I know I never liked processed foods and bad saturated oils. What's your opinion on Rosuvastin ?
I have learned more from youtube and channels like yours on how to get healthy naturally and have never felt better. Unfortunately, modern medicine has failed me.
I am learning myself using some natural meds waiting to start seeing some results I am fed up off taking pharmacueticals meds for my digestives issues, Bells, Palsy, high BP and BS.
Hi Heidi, I have used sunflower lecithin. I used this when I had fatty meals, and my cholesterol levels is in good. I'm 63 and sharing what has worked for me. Thank you for sharing and God is great all the time amen.
What's funny is I was told I was borderline high cholesterol, and was told to lower it, so I looked up the best foods to lower cholesterol and to raise the HDL & lower LDL. Ironically, eating the whole egg (minus the shell, of course) was a one food that lowered the raised HDL and lowered LDL. Yet the pamphlet the doctor office gave me said to do egg whites only. Always do your own research and follow with an educated decision. The decision is yours, not the doctors'. I followed my own diet that I found online, and when I went back to the doctor 6 weeks later the doctor was pleased with the results, then I told him what all my diet was, and he laughed and he said nodded saying that the pamphlet needed to be updated.
@@RainCountryHomestead probably because the pamphlets were from paid adverts like the "free" samples of drugs doctors used to give perhaps? I told him point blank that it was pretty lazy for him to just give people those pamphlets to follow. Not everyone is going to be like me and do more research. I mean, many of his patients are elderly, and don't have access to the internet because they are intimidated by it. They feel like they're too old to learn to use it... which is a load of horse pucky.
God made the whole egg. This an example of not breaking into parts a food. Even the shell can be used for calcium. Herbs whole plant parts to get balance in usuage. God bless.
Statins steal the co Q10 I believe. This is why it is wrecking health. Also you need cholesterol to produce hormones. There might be a problem in that area as well because of using statins.
In Greece we use a fish called Pallamida its magical at restoring cholesterol levels !! Even doctors are shocked at how fast the proper balance will come if you eat this fish twice a week !
Thank you for the info. I learned about you from Doug and Stacy. I listened to this video the other day forgot to thank you!!! Thanks for all the good info. 100% agree
I attended U of W in Seattle (50+years) back in the day and I remember there being. HUGE pharmacudical botanic garden. I mention that because most all allopathic "medicines" got their start as homeopathic tinctures as well as just straight-up ingestion of natural plant substances.
Exactly. Aspirin originally came from white willow bark but the active ingredient has since been synthesized. Same goes for many more like hydroxychloroquine that uses a synthesized version of quinine rather than getting it straight from the Cinchona - I just uploaded a video on that very topic but it will not publish until early January
Tooth ache tree = white willow. White birch sweetens. Indian candy = licorice fern. There are 42+ native tribes in Washington State teaching native ways.
I've found when it comes to certain blood tests it's what you've been eating in the days or weeks before the test. Case in point, I had tests for cholesterol, mine have always been great then one time it came back elevated, I asked if the pepperoni I'd been eating for the week before could mess up the test. Doctor said it might. I went back to eating my normal diet, skipping pepperoni and fat. The next month the doctor did another test and mine came back completely fine again.
My doctor has been trying to get me to take cholesterol meds as my “bad” cholesterol is a little high. She said that that was a silent killer and I could die of a heart attack with no warning. I am trying to change my eating instead. Thanks Heidi!
My GP continually tries to get me to take a statin too - EVEN THOUGH I’VE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE MY Cholesterol through my diet. I’m just about ready to find another doctor.
Drs can't doctor any more they have to follow a tool if you have something wrong they have to give what the tool say's. That would not work for me, you go to school all those years just to through your knowledge out the window!
I was told the same thing and I said give me a month to try changing my diet and cut out all processed food, sugar and dairy (I loved cheese) and went whole foods plant based but had good meat very occasionally if I feel I need it, but mainly brown rice, oats, beans, lentils, garbanzo beans (lots of hummus with raw garlic and turmeric and olive oil) lots of vegetables and fruit and only organic raw honey as my only sweetener and the doctor was so impressed with the dramatic results he said “whatever you’re doing keep it up!”
@@lisawanderess That’s awesome! I have been on an elimination diet program this year and have lost so far 65 lbs. I found out that I am gluten intolerant. I never would have lost the weight on my own. I have a VA doctor who was upset that I lost the weight. I guess that I am not feeding the system. I don’t know for sure. Congratulations on getting healthy! And glad that you have a doctor that is encouraging you to be healthy.
You are so right about Crisco, etc. My cholesterol and whole lipid profile was so much better my Dr was amazed.i told her I cut out trans fats and ate more butter, olive oil, avocados and oil. Not too many eggs because our sources are not as good. Thanks, Heidi.also on Keto, that can raise LDL but the deal is if it's small particles or nice large, fluffy (good).
There are 2 things I would add to your list: 1) instead of fish oil I recommend a blend of flax and chia seed. You can find some really good cold milled blends. Flax seed tends to have higher omegas than the oil. 2) black seed is really good for balancing cholesterol levels. You can take the seed whole, or use it as black seed oil.
@@RainCountryHomestead My husband recently purchased black seed oil but I can't get past the taste of it. To me it tastes like tea tree oil. What do you suggest to mix it in?
Same happened to my husband. First instinct is to put him on medication. He said "no give me 6 months"....between watching what he ate and losing weight....no medication.
There are some fascinating studies about the effect of brazil nuts on cholesterol levels. Just 4 nuts in one serving lowered cholesterol levels within hours of eating and lasted at least one month. You can find on the internet.
Good info as always grapfruit also helps, when i was told to take the dredded meds (i did not) it said don't eat or drink grapefruits, it effects the drug, when you look into it grapefruit lowers cholesterol
I’ve taken organic super clean RYR for years and it really helped reduce by LDL and improve my overall cholesterol numbers😊 Thank you Heidi! Lots of helpful info!💕
You made me smile when you talked about eating okra before it got to the slime. My sister always hated okra because she said it's too slimy. I myself love okra especially if it's breaded and fried. I had just made myself some when my sister stopped by to visit, she walked in helping herself to some of my okra, telling how good it was. I asked her when she decided to eat okra, she grimaced and shivered telling me she never touches the stuff. That's when I burst out laughing telling her what she was busily munching on. Now she makes her own. For me I rarely give up on eating something until I've tried it different ways for the exact reason my sister discovered she didn't mind it one way but despised it another, sometimes it's all in the prepping that can make something either good or terrible
As a kid I loved it fried. Dad and Mom ate it boiled to. I hated it boiled, now as I've gotten older I also love it boiled in soups or boiled and seasoned with salt and pepper
With some things, yes! I thought I couldn't stand lasagna until I tried one that wasn't my mother's! Olives, though, forget it! I'll never like the devil's testicles!
I was prescribed statin for cholesterol, the Dr said not to drink or eat grapefruit and that it can affect the liver but barely mentioned it. So i looked it up what the side effects could be and i came up with that it does / can affects the liver. The Dr NEVER called or had ANY one contact me to follow up to check on my liver. Coincidentally a few days later i went into a major hotel (been out all day needed to use the lil rascals room) and there was some kind of medical convention going on. I asked some of the people there some were Drs some not... They told me to stay away from the statin drugs i was givin. I never took any of them either, didnt throw them away but didnt take any.
You mentioned red yeast rice. I was in the drugstore looking for one of the supplements I was out of and mentioned to the lady next to me to holler if she saw it. She told me to look for red yeast rice for her as I was perusing. I asked her what that was for and she said her doctor had recommended it versus taking a prescription medicine. It was either for heart, cholesterol, or blood pressure. I honestly can't remember which but it sounded good so I bought some. It's validating to hear you mention it.
My doctor recommended it for me for high cholesterol. Took it for a while but didn't see any benefit. Honestly, it probably would've worked better if I had taken it in conjunction with diet changes, exercise and eliminating bad habits. Maybe I'll try again now that I know better 😉
@@ccwriter2544 good luck! To both of us. I've been taking cholesterol medicine for years but haven't had it measured for years. I was in the hospital for a couple days back in March and they did all kinds of blood tests but I was surprised when I asked if they'd done a cholesterol test and they said no. I heard Sam's club does them but then they had to suspend it during the pandemic so I've been meaning to try and remember to ask them if they are doing them again yet. I've changed my eating habits a lot since the last time it was checked so I'm curious where it stands at this time. I stopped taking the cholesterol medicine a few months ago to see how I would do without it. I can't tell any difference with or without it. That's why I'd like to get a test done to see what the numbers are.
I left a comment up above, but in case you miss it I'll condense it here: After serious health scares & doctors doing nothing about them, I researched & found out about "Berberine". I began taking 500mg 3x/day & my blood pressure, A1-C, blood sugar, high cholesterol AND weight all went down. I'm not even taking it anymore. It is the same ingredients that Metformin & many cholesterol medications are made from, but available OTC & $10 a bottle with no side effects (for me, anyway). Please check with your own doctors.
Our ND pushed for my hubby to see an endocrinologist to find the source of his very LOW blood pressure, they did all these tests and in the end told him they can't find the reason so he should just continue to treat the symptoms with more toxic pharmaceuticals , this made me so angry, up here in Canada, they do NOT care about our age group anymore, in fact their trying to take us out.
Never smoked and don't drink. I walk 3 miles about 5 days a week, take fish oil, eat pretty healthy, alot of veggies, garlic, chicken, and tuna. My Lipoprotein (a) is high. I watch my saturated fats, because stokes run in our family. With doing all the changes I have made to be healthier my bad cholesterol is still high. I feel I might need something to help my LDL. But I'm trying all the natural things first. Doing alot of praying🙏
We use red yeast rice for cholesterol control. My Husband‘s cardiologist recommended it after he refused statins. You can also get a flushing with this supplement so if you get that side effect just back off to a lower dose. My husband started at 600 mg per day and is supposed to work up to 1200 mg per day.
@@woodworkinggirl2163 He just started. I looked into it more today. It is a mild natural form of lovastatin. So it is a statin. He started getting canker sores in his mouth but don’t know if this is related or not.
@@rfarmstead3087 im so sorry, yall are having to go through this. i’m 47 yrs old and i have high cholesterol, its my LDL 140☹️ and the cardiologist checked my lipoprotein (a) and it indicated that im at risk of heart disease, so he said i have to do something. i have watched my food and exercised and it hasn’t changed it. my dad had a stroke when he was 45 yrs old and he is still alive, he is 70 now and he takes lipitor. he walks everyday and does not eat over 7 saturated fats a day. and he takes fish oil. im scared to take cholesterol statins, but i dont want to have a stroke like he and my grandpa did. thank you for sharing information with me. i go back to my cardio Tuesday and im going to talk to him about all the alternatives, but i have a feeling im going to take a statin. God Bless yall. 🙏❤️Christy from Virginia
@@woodworkinggirl2163 you could try some natural options like red yeast rice then get your labwork drawn and see what it is. My husband and I paid For a calcium scan to see if we actually had build up in our heart and major vessels. $130 It is an10 min test with no preparation needed. So my husband has high cholesterol but no build up in his vessels. Nothing is absolute. Everyone is different. I also have high cholesterol with no vessel build up. We now eat healthy animal fats which is key. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Give yourself a little grace and time to work on it. I take nothing for cholesterol and have gone to keto diet for my diabetes. Cholesterol didn’t go up at all.
One day I discovered I was out of butter to put on my toast. Dry toast is not my Idea of a tasty breakfast food, I looked around and there sat the coconut oil. I discovered I like it.
Never ending wealth of information! I've had 2 heart attacks in the last 4 yrs; one where I died on the way to the hospital in an ambulance. I still drink heavy whipping cream in my one cup of coffee..
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I also found that berberine helps to lower your bad cholesterol & raise the good cholesterol. To help until you have adjusted your diet. But i don't believe it should be the fix without the diet adjustment. I also make sure my sdLDL is tested because i believe it is a more accurate response. But everyone should research how the medical system "decided" on what tests to use for cholesterol.
I spoke with an RN who is very into holistic health. She told me that doctors often start with medications even when they have natural solutions because the natural solution takes more effort with lifestyle changes and they take longer to start working. So for those of us who want a natural, let healthy lifestyle please ask your MD or DO about natural solutions and changes that you can make instead of going to a pharmaceutical. And of course, keep watching Heidi for awesome information! Blessings!
I had my sdLDL's tested because after some research i found that gave better more accurate results. So i have made lifestyle changes & it has started to rectify itself after only 1 month. But it will take time for things to balance out again. I never had any problems with cholesterol until i got out of the hospital & all their medical treatments & medicine.
High triglycerides are Oxidative cholesterol levels and are the bad numbers, contrary to what the allopathic Medical advice we are given. Statins will cause more damage to your body. Thank you! for your recipes I agree keep it natural.
Ephesians 4:1-2 KJV 4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
My Naturopath gave me Red Rice Yeast and worked when I was much heavier and a bad diet. Now I am leaner and have a better diet and don't need it anymore.
Fish and Krill oil are excellent for cholesterol. It depends completely on the fish source if is is considered clean and krill absolutely not clean. Flaxseed oil is an excellent alternative for fish oil.
Brand new To your channel & Im Loving it!!! Sixty years old & just beginning my alternative journey (better late than never, right?) Thank You for this Wonderful Day Information👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you you beautiful looking woman!!!!! I have come off statins because of severe leg and foot pain. I have started taking 'Red Rice Yeast' Instead xxx
Great video (as usual), Heidi! Homemade sauerkraut is also a fantastic way to balance HDL/LDL. My last batch was made with purple cabbage and a little bit of whey (strained from whole milk yogurt). The whey really helped move along the fermentation process.
While I like sauerkraut, I prefer kimchi and have been making it for years but found more recently that my favorite type of cabbage to use in it is red cabbage. It adds a certain sweetness and flavor that seems to take it over the top. I use a homemade ferment starter (no whey) and no brine (I used to use a brine many years ago but takes so much salt): ruclips.net/video/dlc551xJGqk/видео.html
@@RainCountryHomestead I have some of your homemade fermentation starter in the fridge that I keep for making probiotic juice and mead. It never occurred to me to use it for sauerkraut! Thank you ❤️😊
@@sabinabaldwin4118 I use the starter for anything I am going to ferment be it making wines and meads, fermenting vegetables, eggs, fruit, and I have even made bread with it on several occasions
I love sauerkraut and make my own. We eat it once a week for dinner. I normally grow the Copenhagen market cabbage but I may grow a red cabbage too and mix them for sauerkraut next Summer.
Good info about making own creamer, even though I don’t use creamer but my niece does. Will let her know. Making your own is so much better idea on creamer and so many other things. Egg yolks interesting also. I am keeping eating the yolk.
I absolutely love your videos. They always pop up in my research. I didn’t see any comments, but if it is in here my apologies. One of my favorite things to add to our diet and to our dogs is common purslane. I believe in eating the weeds. Common purslane is very high in omega-3‘s. I have substituted okra with common purslane and many recipes. It’s amazing one of my favorites. Can be eaten raw or cooked.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also am self taught and a lot of times people look down on that. I appreciate your knowledge once again thank you
You wonderful lady, I love you always saying "God is Good" honestly you should say "God is Great". I appreciate your efforts for informative videos. God Bless 💓 you.

Trans fat has not been allowed to be used in food in the U.S. since June 2018. The scientific paper by Fred Kummerow that showed the trans fat was bad for health was published in the journal Science in 1957, but it was ignored by the medical community. You can check the article "Professor who campaigned to ban trans fats dies at 102" from the Washington Post to learn his fight with FDA.
I tried making oatmilk once and it was ok but not my favorite. However, I heard if you cook the oats first, it turns out better. Is that what you do with yours?
I can't take statins because they effect my muscles especially my left arm. It got to where I could hardly lift my left arm. It happened pretty soon after I started taking it. I stopped immediately. Red rice yeast did the same to me, so you have to be very careful. I appreciate that you are very careful with what you say. 😊💕

My NP told me about Bergamot. It's from a flower and in 3 months my numbers were almost normal according to the reference range listed. Look it up.
1. Quit smoking
2. Limit drinking
3. Avoid margarine, trans fats, vegetable oils, lard. Eat EVOO, avocado, coconut oils, ghee.
4. Avoid processed meals.
5. No artificial creamers.
6. Eat eggs with yolks - pasture raised chickens.
7. Healthy exercise.
HEALTHY:
garlic, astragalus, plantain seeds, turmeric, hawthorn, green tea, coriander, ACV, fish, red yeast rice, artichokes, barley, lentils, alfalfa sprouts, hummus, carrots, nut and seed milks, nuts, okra, fish oil, CoQ10...

I am a Registered Nurse. I am not giving medical advice. In my OPINION , A statin will get you before the cholesterol will.
The side effects and dependency is very dangerous
So true, I took myself off statin med, because it did more harm than help and the doctor didn't care.
@@zeemc2751 of course they don't. They are in it for profit not because they want to help
I appreciate your OPINION T. S. WARD! I briefly tried a statin and after not sleeping for 4 days straight, I took myself off of it. The doctor wanted to "try" a lesser dose, but I refused that too. I prefer to go as natural as possible and with God's help, I will!

Well, I started looking into health and a little herbalism, and was telling my grandma not to eat these things; but she trusted her doctor; so, she still ate those things. The problem that was going on with her was heat issues as well. Grandma never got off the lipitor and still had high cholesterol. My mom as well is on cholesterol meds too! but she smokes, eat not good, and again they trust what the doctors feed them. I am not on any cholesterol meds, and I will not go on them. Heidi, like you I will try it with healthy things first, by eating good things and herbs, vitamins; before taking things that will cause other things. Thank you, Heidi, for another good informational video.
Please include foods for coenzymes q10. More info please
I stopped taking medicine about 4 years ago. In the mean time my doctor kept pushing cholesterol med. RESuVASTIN 40 MG. 1 daily . Every time she checks my cholesterol, and BP she is scarring me . I started to be frightened. Apparently my triglycerides is high . So, I surrender. 3 day's so far . But doubt is there already. I am a smoker. That's bad I know I never liked processed foods and bad saturated oils. What's your opinion on Rosuvastin ?
I have learned more from youtube and channels like yours on how to get healthy naturally and have never felt better. Unfortunately, modern medicine has failed me.
It is designed to fail. Take a pill to "fix" one thing, and it causes MORE problems! The system only makes money if you are sick.
I am learning myself using some natural meds waiting to start seeing some results I am fed up off taking pharmacueticals meds for my digestives issues, Bells, Palsy, high BP and BS.
Girl, you don't look anywhere near 55! You are an inspiration. Keep the information coming!
Hi Heidi, I have used sunflower lecithin. I used this when I had fatty meals, and my cholesterol levels is in good. I'm 63 and sharing what has worked for me. Thank you for sharing and God is great all the time amen.
What's funny is I was told I was borderline high cholesterol, and was told to lower it, so I looked up the best foods to lower cholesterol and to raise the HDL & lower LDL. Ironically, eating the whole egg (minus the shell, of course) was a one food that lowered the raised HDL and lowered LDL. Yet the pamphlet the doctor office gave me said to do egg whites only. Always do your own research and follow with an educated decision. The decision is yours, not the doctors'. I followed my own diet that I found online, and when I went back to the doctor 6 weeks later the doctor was pleased with the results, then I told him what all my diet was, and he laughed and he said nodded saying that the pamphlet needed to be updated.
IF he knew that, I wonder why he would keep handing out poor information...hmmm
Pasture-raised organic eggs cost so much, but so worth it! Perhaps his clientele influence his decision.
@@RainCountryHomestead probably because the pamphlets were from paid adverts like the "free" samples of drugs doctors used to give perhaps? I told him point blank that it was pretty lazy for him to just give people those pamphlets to follow. Not everyone is going to be like me and do more research. I mean, many of his patients are elderly, and don't have access to the internet because they are intimidated by it. They feel like they're too old to learn to use it... which is a load of horse pucky.
God made the whole egg. This an example of not breaking into parts a food. Even the shell can be used for calcium. Herbs whole plant parts to get balance in usuage. God bless.
I had the same thing happen. I did my own research then changed my diet. All is good.
Statins have bad side affects, so any other natural options to use instead, the better. Thank you for all you do and the information, Heidi! ~ Laurie
Statins steal the co Q10 I believe. This is why it is wrecking health. Also you need cholesterol to produce hormones. There might be a problem in that area as well because of using statins.
Our brains need fats. Also we need cholesterol to convert uv rays to vit D.
In Greece we use a fish called Pallamida its magical at restoring cholesterol levels !! Even doctors are shocked at how fast the proper balance will come if you eat this fish twice a week !
Thank you for the info. I learned about you from Doug and Stacy. I listened to this video the other day forgot to thank you!!! Thanks for all the good info. 100% agree
I attended U of W in Seattle (50+years) back in the day and I remember there being. HUGE pharmacudical botanic garden. I mention that because most all allopathic "medicines" got their start as homeopathic tinctures as well as just straight-up ingestion of natural plant substances.
Exactly. Aspirin originally came from white willow bark but the active ingredient has since been synthesized. Same goes for many more like hydroxychloroquine that uses a synthesized version of quinine rather than getting it straight from the Cinchona - I just uploaded a video on that very topic but it will not publish until early January
Tooth ache tree = white willow. White birch sweetens. Indian candy = licorice fern. There are 42+ native tribes in Washington State teaching native ways.
You are doing good work. I see my doctor only as a tool and I have find out through my own research what works best for me.
I've found when it comes to certain blood tests it's what you've been eating in the days or weeks before the test.
Case in point, I had tests for cholesterol, mine have always been great then one time it came back elevated, I asked if the pepperoni I'd been eating for the week before could mess up the test. Doctor said it might.
I went back to eating my normal diet, skipping pepperoni and fat.
The next month the doctor did another test and mine came back completely fine again.
This is one of the things I was suspecting, just more proof how unreliable these tests are
Good to know, thanks.
Thank you for sharing. I have been reading about helping my husband take care of his high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Work in progress.
Heidi, I appreciate your knowledge, research, and teaching. I have learned a lot and am so grateful.
My doctor has been trying to get me to take cholesterol meds as my “bad” cholesterol is a little high. She said that that was a silent killer and I could die of a heart attack with no warning. I am trying to change my eating instead. Thanks Heidi!
My GP continually tries to get me to take a statin too - EVEN THOUGH I’VE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE MY Cholesterol through my diet. I’m just about ready to find another doctor.
Drs can't doctor any more they have to follow a tool if you have something wrong they have to give what the tool say's. That would not work for me, you go to school all those years just to through your knowledge out the window!
check out Dr. Paul Mason talking about statins and high cholesterol. Many super you tube videos
I was told the same thing and I said give me a month to try changing my diet and cut out all processed food, sugar and dairy (I loved cheese) and went whole foods plant based but had good meat very occasionally if I feel I need it, but mainly brown rice, oats, beans, lentils, garbanzo beans (lots of hummus with raw garlic and turmeric and olive oil) lots of vegetables and fruit and only organic raw honey as my only sweetener and the doctor was so impressed with the dramatic results he said “whatever you’re doing keep it up!”
@@lisawanderess That’s awesome! I have been on an elimination diet program this year and have lost so far 65 lbs. I found out that I am gluten intolerant. I never would have lost the weight on my own. I have a VA doctor who was upset that I lost the weight. I guess that I am not feeding the system. I don’t know for sure. Congratulations on getting healthy! And glad that you have a doctor that is encouraging you to be healthy.
You are so right about Crisco, etc. My cholesterol and whole lipid profile was so much better my Dr was amazed.i told her I cut out trans fats and ate more butter, olive oil, avocados and oil. Not too many eggs because our sources are not as good. Thanks, Heidi.also on Keto, that can raise LDL but the deal is if it's small particles or nice large, fluffy (good).
There are 2 things I would add to your list:
1) instead of fish oil I recommend a blend of flax and chia seed. You can find some really good cold milled blends. Flax seed tends to have higher omegas than the oil.
2) black seed is really good for balancing cholesterol levels. You can take the seed whole, or use it as black seed oil.
Interesting, thought I had mentioned at least one of those seeds in this video but I must be thinking of several other videos where I talk about them.
@@RainCountryHomestead My husband recently purchased black seed oil but I can't get past the taste of it. To me it tastes like tea tree oil. What do you suggest to mix it in?
Good morning I enjoy your comment
What is black seed?
@@terrydraheim4769 I think you misread that neighbor. Flax seed is a type of grain.
Same happened to my husband. First instinct is to put him on medication. He said "no give me 6 months"....between watching what he ate and losing weight....no medication.
Thanks for all your research you do and sharing your findings.
I’m so blessed to have your RUclips, to learn from all the research that you do. Thanks for all the time your spending to help others like me🙏☺️
There are some fascinating studies about the effect of brazil nuts on cholesterol levels. Just 4 nuts in one serving lowered cholesterol levels within hours of eating and lasted at least one month. You can find on the internet.
Dear Not A Doctor Heidi, Thank you for your information, I also do research & always learn something new from you, thank you for all the sharing
Heidi, you sure do not look like you are in your 50's. Wish I had as much knowledge as you. I love learning from you. Thanks for all your hard work.
Good info as always grapfruit also helps, when i was told to take the dredded meds (i did not) it said don't eat or drink grapefruits, it effects the drug, when you look into it grapefruit lowers cholesterol
I’ve taken organic super clean RYR for years and it really helped reduce by LDL and improve my overall cholesterol numbers😊
Thank you Heidi! Lots of helpful info!💕
Thank you. Still learning at 71. Just got sugar out of control.
But it is still disposable? Meaning if it is all gone, it is gone?
I’ve been looking for something like this….. you’re greatly appreciated. Thank you for doing the research and sharing….saving us all the extra steps.
Pantethine, a form of B5, is also beneficial in balancing cholesterol.
Also acetyl-l-carnitine helps with burning fats for fuel.
I think you are wonderful! I watch your videos all the time now. thank you for all you do! I so agree do your own homework !
Hi Heidi yes I agree with you on the health food choices real butter 100% coconut oil and so on thanks again for sharing.
You made me smile when you talked about eating okra before it got to the slime.
My sister always hated okra because she said it's too slimy.
I myself love okra especially if it's breaded and fried.
I had just made myself some when my sister stopped by to visit, she walked in helping herself to some of my okra, telling how good it was.
I asked her when she decided to eat okra, she grimaced and shivered telling me she never touches the stuff.
That's when I burst out laughing telling her what she was busily munching on.
Now she makes her own.
For me I rarely give up on eating something until I've tried it different ways for the exact reason my sister discovered she didn't mind it one way but despised it another, sometimes it's all in the prepping that can make something either good or terrible
As a little girl I hated spinach.(My Mother was a terrible cook) Now it's one of my favorite veges, but not plain.
As a kid I loved it fried. Dad and Mom ate it boiled to. I hated it boiled, now as I've gotten older I also love it boiled in soups or boiled and seasoned with salt and pepper
With some things, yes! I thought I couldn't stand lasagna until I tried one that wasn't my mother's!
Olives, though, forget it! I'll never like the devil's testicles!
I have been taking red yeast rice for over two years now and it brought my cholesterol down and my also it dropped my bp down!!!
Bergamot is a great resource I use for high clorestrol
Happy New Year 2023!!
Happy New Me 2023!!!
Thank you Rain Country ❤️
I was prescribed statin for cholesterol, the Dr said not to drink or eat grapefruit and that it can affect the liver but barely mentioned it.
So i looked it up what the side effects could be and i came up with that it does / can affects the liver.
The Dr NEVER called or had ANY one contact me to follow up to check on my liver.
Coincidentally a few days later i went into a major hotel (been out all day needed to use the lil rascals room) and there was some kind of medical convention going on.
I asked some of the people there some were Drs some not... They told me to stay away from the statin drugs i was givin. I never took any of them either, didnt throw them away but didnt take any.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and prosperous New Year! GOD bless
You are just 👏 amazing making so many things!
Thank you so much for the written list
Wow what great info. I’m gonna have to watch this several times to catch it all!!
Greetings all. I was hospitalized and lost 30 lbs and My cholesterol is down to normal
So glad I found y'all today. Blessings, julie
Only used EVOO, Homemade Ghee, Butter & Coconut oil, rarely Lard, for 4 Years now.
TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🎅🎄
You mentioned red yeast rice. I was in the drugstore looking for one of the supplements I was out of and mentioned to the lady next to me to holler if she saw it. She told me to look for red yeast rice for her as I was perusing. I asked her what that was for and she said her doctor had recommended it versus taking a prescription medicine. It was either for heart, cholesterol, or blood pressure. I honestly can't remember which but it sounded good so I bought some. It's validating to hear you mention it.
My doctor recommended it for me for high cholesterol. Took it for a while but didn't see any benefit. Honestly, it probably would've worked better if I had taken it in conjunction with diet changes, exercise and eliminating bad habits. Maybe I'll try again now that I know better 😉
@@ccwriter2544 good luck! To both of us. I've been taking cholesterol medicine for years but haven't had it measured for years. I was in the hospital for a couple days back in March and they did all kinds of blood tests but I was surprised when I asked if they'd done a cholesterol test and they said no. I heard Sam's club does them but then they had to suspend it during the pandemic so I've been meaning to try and remember to ask them if they are doing them again yet. I've changed my eating habits a lot since the last time it was checked so I'm curious where it stands at this time. I stopped taking the cholesterol medicine a few months ago to see how I would do without it. I can't tell any difference with or without it. That's why I'd like to get a test done to see what the numbers are.
I left a comment up above, but in case you miss it I'll condense it here: After serious health scares & doctors doing nothing about them, I researched & found out about "Berberine". I began taking 500mg 3x/day & my blood pressure, A1-C, blood sugar, high cholesterol AND weight all went down. I'm not even taking it anymore. It is the same ingredients that Metformin & many cholesterol medications are made from, but available OTC & $10 a bottle with no side effects (for me, anyway). Please check with your own doctors.
@@jennifersignsoflife1375 thanks for the information! I will look into it.
@@mothershelper1981 Great~ I hope it can help you as much as it helped me!
My son buys red yeast rice capsules at Costco. They are helping his numbers come down.
Our ND pushed for my hubby to see an endocrinologist to find the source of his very LOW blood pressure, they did all these tests and in the end told him they can't find the reason so he should just continue to treat the symptoms with more toxic pharmaceuticals , this made me so angry, up here in Canada, they do NOT care about our age group anymore, in fact their trying to take us out.
I admire your honesty.
Never smoked and don't drink. I walk 3 miles about 5 days a week, take fish oil, eat pretty healthy, alot of veggies, garlic, chicken, and tuna. My Lipoprotein (a) is high. I watch my saturated fats, because stokes run in our family. With doing all the changes I have made to be healthier my bad cholesterol is still high. I feel I might need something to help my LDL. But I'm trying all the natural things first. Doing alot of praying🙏
Editing this comment because I thought your comment was on today's video! Sorry about that! haha
We use red yeast rice for cholesterol control. My Husband‘s cardiologist recommended it after he refused statins. You can also get a flushing with this supplement so if you get that side effect just back off to a lower dose. My husband started at 600 mg per day and is supposed to work up to 1200 mg per day.
Just asking, has it helped with his cholesterol? I have a high LDL, trying to find something natural to help. Thanks Christy
@@woodworkinggirl2163 He just started. I looked into it more today. It is a mild natural form of lovastatin. So it is a statin. He started getting canker sores in his mouth but don’t know if this is related or not.
@@rfarmstead3087 im so sorry, yall are having to go through this. i’m 47 yrs old and i have high cholesterol, its my LDL 140☹️ and the cardiologist checked my lipoprotein (a) and it indicated that im at risk of heart disease, so he said i have to do something. i have watched my food and exercised and it hasn’t changed it. my dad had a stroke when he was 45 yrs old and he is still alive, he is 70 now and he takes lipitor. he walks everyday and does not eat over 7 saturated fats a day. and he takes fish oil. im scared to take cholesterol statins, but i dont want to have a stroke like he and my grandpa did. thank you for sharing information with me. i go back to my cardio Tuesday and im going to talk to him about all the alternatives, but i have a feeling im going to take a statin. God Bless yall. 🙏❤️Christy from Virginia
@@woodworkinggirl2163 you could try some natural options like red yeast rice then get your labwork drawn and see what it is. My husband and I paid For a calcium scan to see if we actually had build up in our heart and major vessels. $130 It is an10 min test with no preparation needed. So my husband has high cholesterol but no build up in his vessels. Nothing is absolute. Everyone is different. I also have high cholesterol with no vessel build up. We now eat healthy animal fats which is key. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Give yourself a little grace and time to work on it. I take nothing for cholesterol and have gone to keto diet for my diabetes. Cholesterol didn’t go up at all.
One day I discovered I was out of butter to put on my toast. Dry toast is not my Idea of a tasty breakfast food, I looked around and there sat the coconut oil. I discovered I like it.
My dr. Was trying tell me I need those . But I am researching this topic and see your vid .
I ve been using a ton of garlic too
Never ending wealth of information! I've had 2 heart attacks in the last 4 yrs; one where I died on the way to the hospital in an ambulance. I still drink heavy whipping cream in my one cup of coffee..
I love you Heidi!! Plz never stop making these videos!!💗🙏
Thanx you i ave learned a lots😘🤩
I love you, you’re best from some doctors. You’re mind opened on the studies , in comparison to others that are more closed on the agenda.
🥰 Thank you for all you do! Many Blessings!!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
I also found that berberine helps to lower your bad cholesterol & raise the good cholesterol. To help until you have adjusted your diet. But i don't believe it should be the fix without the diet adjustment.
I also make sure my sdLDL is tested because i believe it is a more accurate response.
But everyone should research how the medical system "decided" on what tests to use for cholesterol.
I spoke with an RN who is very into holistic health. She told me that doctors often start with medications even when they have natural solutions because the natural solution takes more effort with lifestyle changes and they take longer to start working. So for those of us who want a natural, let healthy lifestyle please ask your MD or DO about natural solutions and changes that you can make instead of going to a pharmaceutical. And of course, keep watching Heidi for awesome information! Blessings!
I have yet to find a doctor even slightly interested in natural anything. They are assembly line pill pushers.
I had my sdLDL's tested because after some research i found that gave better more accurate results.
So i have made lifestyle changes & it has started to rectify itself after only 1 month.
But it will take time for things to balance out again.
I never had any problems with cholesterol until i got out of the hospital & all their medical treatments & medicine.
If you use Red Yeast Rice then add Coq10 along with it. Same if your taking cholesterol lowering meds.
I just found you and subscribed I’m 72 and I love your channel thank you for sharing 😊👍🏻
High triglycerides are Oxidative cholesterol levels and are the bad numbers, contrary to what the allopathic Medical advice we are given. Statins will cause more damage to your body. Thank you! for your recipes I agree keep it natural.

My Naturopath gave me Red Rice Yeast and worked when I was much heavier and a bad diet. Now I am leaner and have a better diet and don't need it anymore.
Fish and Krill oil are excellent for cholesterol. It depends completely on the fish source if is is considered clean and krill absolutely not clean. Flaxseed oil is an excellent alternative for fish oil.
I had a mennonite friend tell me about flaxseed take it after soaking and grinding it up fresh each day
@@debbiemurray7426 how long do u soak flaxseed?
@@debbiemurray7426 Yes. I take flaxseed oil and also consume flaxseed.
I agree with you about the soy. I went back to drinking milk & felt better.

Thank you you beautiful looking woman!!!!! I have come off statins because of severe leg and foot pain. I have started taking 'Red Rice Yeast' Instead xxx
I use California ranch
Cold pressed olive oil. I take. 60ml every morning. And about every other day . 🥑 avocado
Thank you Heidi. Very good information. I have always believed in doing my own research on things before trying something or changing anything.
Great video (as usual), Heidi!
Homemade sauerkraut is also a fantastic way to balance HDL/LDL.
My last batch was made with purple cabbage and a little bit of whey (strained from whole milk yogurt). The whey really helped move along the fermentation process.
While I like sauerkraut, I prefer kimchi and have been making it for years but found more recently that my favorite type of cabbage to use in it is red cabbage. It adds a certain sweetness and flavor that seems to take it over the top. I use a homemade ferment starter (no whey) and no brine (I used to use a brine many years ago but takes so much salt): ruclips.net/video/dlc551xJGqk/видео.html
@@RainCountryHomestead I have some of your homemade fermentation starter in the fridge that I keep for making probiotic juice and mead. It never occurred to me to use it for sauerkraut! Thank you ❤️😊
@@sabinabaldwin4118 I use the starter for anything I am going to ferment be it making wines and meads, fermenting vegetables, eggs, fruit, and I have even made bread with it on several occasions
I love sauerkraut and make my own. We eat it once a week for dinner. I normally grow the Copenhagen market cabbage but I may grow a red cabbage too and mix them for sauerkraut next Summer.
Here to get some good info. thank you for sharing this. I need to work on my cholesterol.
Good info about making own creamer, even though I don’t use creamer but my niece does. Will let her know. Making your own is so much better idea on creamer and so many other things. Egg yolks interesting also. I am keeping eating the yolk.
Just read that Hibiscus tea is suppose to be good to help with cholesterol! Nancy from Canada
We love you so you keep up the great work
Merry Christmas you all GODBLESS
Such amazing information, thank you ☺️
I absolutely love your videos. They always pop up in my research. I didn’t see any comments, but if it is in here my apologies. One of my favorite things to add to our diet and to our dogs is common purslane. I believe in eating the weeds. Common purslane is very high in omega-3‘s. I have substituted okra with common purslane and many recipes. It’s amazing one of my favorites. Can be eaten raw or cooked.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also am self taught and a lot of times people look down on that. I appreciate your knowledge once again thank you

Trans fat has not been allowed to be used in food in the U.S. since June 2018. The scientific paper by Fred Kummerow that showed the trans fat was bad for health was published in the journal Science in 1957, but it was ignored by the medical community. You can check the article "Professor who campaigned to ban trans fats dies at 102" from the Washington Post to learn his fight with FDA.
Oat and sunflower milk is so good! Homemade is best!
I tried making oatmilk once and it was ok but not my favorite. However, I heard if you cook the oats first, it turns out better. Is that what you do with yours?
Thank you Heidi…so much info ..that we forget most of the time but very nice to have our memory refreshed….super!! 😘
I can't take statins because they effect my muscles especially my left arm. It got to where I could hardly lift my left arm. It happened pretty soon after I started taking it. I stopped immediately. Red rice yeast did the same to me, so you have to be very careful. I appreciate that you are very careful with what you say. 😊💕
So how are you managing your cholesterol.plz advice
