#101 - How to Lower LDL Cholesterol Without Meds in as Little as 3 Months
Lady runners and endurance athletes, don't let anyone ever tell you we can't lower our cholesterol, balance our hormones, and boost our running performance without extreme diets, endless supplements or prescriptions. Most of the time, there is a (much) better way and it's time we learn some specifics, nuances, and targeted female-specific strategies to try!
In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, one of the world’s leading health, fitness and performance experts, shares a simple, science-backed roadmap for avid active women and recreational runners age 35+ who are navigating perimenopause and beyond.
Louise reveals root cause mechanisms of why LDL cholesterol often spikes as estrogen declines and how outdated advice about cutting out eggs or red meat isn’t the full picture. Drawing from over two decades of coaching and research, her own fiercely inspiring health journey, and empowering thousands of individuals over the course of her proven career designing integrative health and fitness interventions, she explains practical steps you can take to improve biomarkers in as little as three months.
You’ll learn which supplements actually make a difference, how much your specific food choices matter, awareness of how seed oils sneak into your pantry, and why advocating for yourself with doctors matters. You'll get a step-by-step playbook to discuss your labs with your doctor to be fully heard and get the comprehensive effective care you deserve. Most importantly, you’ll discover realistic strategies, rooted in cutting-edge female-specific science, that help you feel energized, resilient, and confident in your body.
If you’re a driven, active woman who’s tired of feeling blindsided by midlife changes, this episode is your playbook for thriving with less stress, relentless confidence, and more strength.
