Chapters

When you have high cholesterol. I mentioned that it causes endothelial dysfunction. It causes atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup in the arteries. It causes reduced blood flow. It actually can even cause nerve damage. It can contribute to neuropathy, which is probably due because of blood flow. Even high cholesterol also cause hormonal imbalances that decreased testosterone. So having said that, we know cholesterol can contribute to decreased blood flow. We know the range. So now what to do about it? And how is cholesterol measured? Cholesterol is measured through the blood. When you go to the lab and you just get a little vial of blood from your veins and that gets measured.
