Short educational content (YouTube) explaining that cholesterol is a critical precursor for steroid hormones — including sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and other steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone — and that insufficient cholesterol impairs hormone production.
Cholesterol is super important for so many functions in our body. So our hormones. You know, when I say hormones, I can be referring to our sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, our stress hormone, aldosterone, our blood pressure hormone. So many of these sex hormones, they are all made from. From cholesterol. Cholesterol is literally the backbone ingredient, the basic starting point to make those sex hormones and all those steroid hormones. So if you don't have enough cholesterol, you can't make those hormones properly.
