Speaker argues that cholesterol is essential to the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes; a healthy membrane enables hormone-receptor binding and transport of minerals, vitamins, energy, and toxins. The speaker claims that an inflamed or unhealthy cell membrane impairs these functions and is a major driving factor of chronic disease.
Cholesterol is the backbone of our trillions of cells. So our cells that make up our organs, that make up our systems, that make up our body. At the cellular level, there is something called a cell membrane that is like the coating, the COVID the wall of the cell. It has a phospholipid bilayer that is made of cholesterol. Without that healthy phospholipid bilayer, hormones cannot bind receptors and send signals. Things cannot be transported in and out of the cell, like minerals, vitamins, energy, toxins that get released. All of that cannot happen if you have an inflamed cell membrane or a cell membrane that does not have a healthy phospholipid bilayer. So that is one of the huge driving factors of chronic disease. Chronic.
