let’s talk about cholesterol menopause and  aging as we get older our cholesterol does go up typically men have higher cholesterol than women  but during menopause there usually is a spike in cholesterol in women now before i get too much  into that i just want to let you know that the body does make cholesterol it makes a lot in fact  75 to 80 percent of all the cholesterol in your body is made by your own body why because all of  your cell membranes need it also cholesterol is required to make bile vitamin d and sex hormones  estrogen progesterone testosterone cortisol and there’s several other hormones but the question  is why would a female going through menopause have an increased amount of cholesterol well it  has to do with this hormone right here estrogen as the estrogen decreases during menopause  which happens dramatically and significantly you’re going to get an increase in cholesterol  because estrogen acts as an antioxidant and as we have less antioxidants we’re more susceptible  to getting damage in the arteries in different parts of the body and so you really want to look  at cholesterol as the firemen to put up the fire so cholesterol is really a band-aid to come in  there with the help of calcium and some protein to seal the lesion or the inflamed damaged artery and  so to understand cholesterol very simply you have two types you have ldl hdl these are proteins that  are transporting the cholesterol in and out of the liver so the ldl which is considered the bad  cholesterol is really transporting the cholesterol from the liver to the cell and the hdl which  is considered the good is transporting it back from the cell back to the liver for recycling  so as long as we have an exchange there we’re totally fine now i’ve done videos on this  recently when you have high ldl what you have to realize is there’s two types of ldl one is a bad  one is a good and so i recently released a video on my wife’s cholesterol which was high as well  as the ldl but if you look deeper and you take an advanced lipid profile you’ll notice if the  person’s on a low carb diet and they’re eating healthy that the type of ldl is actually the large  buoyant it’s not the small dense and so it’s not the bad type of ldl but my wife actually has  gone through menopause she has decreased estrogen and so she has less antioxidants and so one of  the things she does is she eats a lot of food with antioxidants which i recommend to everyone and so  the significance of this video is this if you are going through menopause if you’re getting older  okay you’re going to have less of these right here so that means that you have to eat cleaner you  have to have less sugar and less refined carbs and that will keep this from creating damage and  you won’t need the firemen to come in to patch anything up and secondly at the same time  you want to make sure you’re having enough food high in antioxidants to  counter any effect of a drop in estrogen hey before you go real quick i  have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is your environment everyone is  focused on this over here avoiding your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put a link down in the description right down  below check it out and get signed up today
