They told you CHOLESTEROL = HEART ATTACK.
The shocking truth?
Low cholesterol is destroying your brain.
Cut it too low, and you risk depression, panic attacks and burnout.
Here’s why it’s the worst health advice in history (& 5 BIG MISTAKES you're doing right now):
We’ve been conditioned to fear cholesterol.
But your brain? It’s made of this stuff.
It’s 2% of your body weight, yet it contains 25% of your cholesterol.
Why? Because cholesterol is the raw material for thinking, feeling, and focusing.

Cholesterol fuels your nervous system:
• Synapse formation
• Myelin (insulation for nerve signals)
• Dopamine & serotonin production
• Brain cell membranes and repair
Strip it away… and the brain begins to crash.
The research is clear:
Low cholesterol is strongly linked to:
• Higher rates of depression
• Increased suicide risk
• Cognitive decline and memory loss
Study: The Lancet, 1993: Patients with cholesterol <160 mg/dL had double the suicide rate.

Why this matters even more:
Your brain can’t pull cholesterol from your blood.
The blood-brain barrier blocks it.
So your brain must make its own, internally.
But statins and ultra-low-fat diets will shut down that internal production.
Here’s how it affects YOU:
Millions of people feel terrible, and have no clue cholesterol is the reason.
Brain fog. Irritability. Anxiety. Burnout.
They think it’s stress or weakness.
But it's because of 5 common mistakes people make, thinking they’re doing the right thing👇
MISTAKE #1: Avoiding egg yolks
Eggs are rich in cholesterol, choline, and fat-soluble vitamins, essential for memory and neurotransmitter support.
Yet many still skip the yolk due to outdated fear.
Eat the whole egg. Pasture-raised is best. Your brain thrives on it.
MISTAKE #2: Going low-fat or fat-free
Your brain needs fat to function, especially DHA, EPA, and saturated fats.
Fat-free = nutrient-starved neurons.
Instead: olive oil, wild-caught fish, grass-fed butter.
Avoid seed oils and fried food.
MISTAKE #3: Ignoring physical activity
Regular exercise lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) & boosts blood flow to your brain.
This improves cognitive function and memory.
Prioritize aerobic activities like walking, swimming, or cycling
➝ 30-60 minutes, 3-5 times per week.
MISTAKE #4: Avoiding organ meats
Liver is loaded with retinol, B12, and cholesterol ➝ all critical for neurotransmission and brain repair.
Try eating beef liver once a week or use desiccated organ supplements.
It’s nature’s multivitamin.

MISTAKE #5: Thinking burnout is just about stress
Burnout often starts with biochemical imbalances.
Fix the foundation first, THEN apply mindset and stress strategies.
Here’s why this really matters👇
If you’ve tried all the usual hacks, supplements, journaling, productivity tools...
But still feel foggy, anxious, or mentally exhausted...
You’re not broken.
You might just be biochemically underpowered:
I used to think I had a mindset problem.
But my brain was starving for the raw materials it by needed to function.
Once I fed it what it was missing, the fog lifted, and clarity came back.
If your brain feels like it’s breaking down, not just having a bad day:
You need tools that work with your biology, not against it.
