Jada, you mentioned cholesterol. Anyone on prescription medication?
I am. Which is funny because the doctor was like, I really don't think you need it, but if you want it, okay.
And they started me just on a really tiny dosage, just. But more because of what my father. My father, he died a couple of years ago and I remember sitting with Daddy O in his last couple of weeks and he had everything, diabetes and heart disease. It was really bad. So there were things that were preventative that I was put on for cholesterol.
Unfortunately, that is such a myth. We now know that your genetics is not your destiny.
That's major.
So not going to your doctor, getting a prescription if it's for cholesterol or whatever else. It's like, well, hang on a second. Let's look back and see where does this come from? What's the source? What's the source.
