Herbs for Cholesterol

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Heart of Herbs Herbal School Podcast — I am your host, Demetria Clark, and today we are talking about something that lands in my inbox and in my students' questions more than almost any other topic: cholesterol. Now, before you think this is going to be a dry, clinical, numbers-on-a-page kind of conversation — it is absolutely not, because that is not how we do things around here. We are going to talk about ten powerful, evidence-informed herbs that support healthy cholesterol and cardiovascular health, we are going to talk about why they work and how they work, and we are going to talk about the thing that most cholesterol conversations completely skip over — which is that elevated cholesterol is a signal from your body, not a life sentence, and that the plants have been supporting the human heart, in every sense of that word, for longer than pharmaceuticals have even existed. So grab your tea, get comfortable, and let us get into it — because your heart deserves more than just a pill, and today we are going to talk about what that looks like. 🌿
