Have you gotten a lab report that’s concerning because it shows high levels of LDL cholesterol? Let’s take control and take them down! How you live, what you eat and what genes you’ve inherited are contributors, as well as your exercise and other lifestyle factors. Every 36 seconds in the U.S. one person dies from cardiovascular disease. This should alarm us all! In this episode we explore what not to eat, and importantly which foods you should eat to help boost your HDL and lower your LDL—naturally so you can stay as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. So before you throw your hands up and assume all problems need medication, listen in and talk with your doc about sustainable lifestyle choices first.

SPECIAL OFFER:
According to the Harvard Medical School, the number one way to reduce your LDL is by eating oatmeal.

September fled from an abusive marriage to a high-powered attorney, losing her home, her money, and her children. She shares her story about what transpired to lead her to living in hiding, and her journey of hope, of healing and reclaiming what is rightfully hers. This podcast is a great listen for anyone who has the right to assert their independence, opinions and be treated with respect. That would be everyone. Toni and September discuss:

• The range and types of abuse that exist in our society
• How to develop a support system
• The signs of abuse and how to recognize them
• Tapping into our dreams
• Hope = Confident expectations

I apologize in advance for the poor sound quality and have done our best to correct it. The content is important to share and hope it may at least somewhat outweigh the compromised listening experience. Thank you for continuing to listen in.
