Statin Drugs: The Dangerous Side Effects No One Talks About

Hear a fresh perspective on statin drugs from Kevin Meehan, an integrative practitioner and acupuncturist based in Jackson Hole, WY and founder of Meehan Formulations, a biochemistry driven supplement company dedicated to improving the health of everyone.
Statin drugs are commonly prescribed by doctors, but there is a lot of conflicting information and misinformation about their purpose and statin drug side effects.
Cholesterol is an important component of our cellular membrane and is necessary for our health. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are not cholesterol themselves, but they attach to cholesterol.
Statin drugs work by reducing the activity of HMG reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis.
However, long-term use of statin drugs can have side effects and may disrupt the body's natural processes. High triglycerides, which are caused by excessive consumption of sugars and calories, are a greater risk factor for cardiovascular health than lipoproteins.
It is important to consider alternatives to statin drugs and the potential risks associated with long-term use. The conversation discusses the importance of using the right tools for health conditions and the potential risks of relying solely on medication.
We emphasize the need to address the root causes of health issues, such as diet and lifestyle choices. The conversation also highlights the role of Meehan Formulation's ATP in lowering triglycerides and explains how it works in the body.
Listen in as we discuss the importance of making healthier food choices and taking responsibility for one's own health. We conclude the conversation by questioning the outcomes of taking statin drugs and encourages viewers to consider the long-term effects of their choices.
