Ken BerryHOST
So ask your doctor if you're taking Zyprexa, isn't there something I can take or maybe just not take this at all that won't raise my blood sugar? It's a valid question.
Ken BerryHOST
The next is my favorite class of drugs, that's that sarcasm again, statins, lovastatin, atorvastatin, Lipitor, Zocor, Pravastatin, right, Pravacol, all those guys, all of them, it's been known for over a decade.
Ken BerryHOST
they raise your blood sugar there's no ifs ands or buts if your doctor says that's not true he needs to go back and do his reading because it is absolutely true in fact if you're on a statin right now you might just want to share this video on your social media and tag your doctor or your provider in it and say hey does this raise my blood sugar that might be a wake-up call for your doctor and for lots of his patients right just a thought you don't have to do that never mind don't do that that might be rude I don't know whatever whatever you want to do it's fine but anyway statins have been shown really to help very little, most people.
Ken BerryHOST
There's only a very, very few people who it's medically proven by the research that they need a statin, okay? Most people taking a statin for primary prevention of heart disease are taking a pill for nothing.
Zorba PasterHOST
We did research on that before it came out.
Zorba PasterHOST
Lipitor.
Zorba PasterHOST
Oh, definitely heard of that.
Zorba PasterHOST
We did research on Lipitor.

I still remember the meeting where they said, we've got a cholesterol drug better than any other drug on the market.
Zorba PasterHOST
That was the number one drug seller for years.
Mark HymanHOST
Now, most people don't know that their testosterone and other sex hormones are produced from cholesterol in their body.
Mark HymanHOST
So eating a low-fat diet And taking statin drugs that block cholesterol, such as Lipitor, also can have negative consequences on their hormones.
Mark HymanHOST
It's also important to get tested for hormonal imbalances.
Mark HymanHOST
Now in my free ebook called How to Work with Your Doctor to Get What You Need, which I'll also post below, I explain exactly how to test for hormone imbalances.
Charles GassenheimerGUEST
It was health-based.
Charles GassenheimerGUEST
I was Sort of around 2015, 2016 timeframe, I had been prescribed a statin drug, Crestor in my case, but Lipitor and others are what people may be on.
Charles GassenheimerGUEST
And even though I was only in my 40s, I was up to 40 milligrams of Crestor and I was having short-term memory loss and joint pain.
Charles GassenheimerGUEST
And I wasn't feeling particularly good and really wanted to find... answers as a person who I consider myself to be reasonably well-read and someone that is willing to do work and research to find better answers.

You know,
Gary FowlerHOST
these medications, you know, they give this stuff, what is that, Lipitor, those kind of things out.
Gary FowlerHOST

Fozia SaleemGUEST
Are
Mark HymanHOST
Stopping these drugs would be equivalent to finding the cure for asthma or leukemia.
Mark HymanHOST
The real effects of statin drugs like Lipitor and reducing heart disease may have nothing to do with lowering cholesterol, but to their unintended side effect of reducing inflammation.
Mark HymanHOST
But is that the right approach to addressing the problem? No.
Mark HymanHOST
It's downstream medicine.
Ken BerryHOST
both the statins and the fibrates.
Ken BerryHOST
And so that's going to include Zocor, Lipitor for sure.
Ken BerryHOST
Crestor doesn't have as much of this effect, but any of the fibrates like Gemfibrazil, and there's a few other fibrates as well, can cause hair loss in some circumstances.
Ken BerryHOST
So if you're taking something to lower your cholesterol and you're having hair loss, go see your doctor.
