We're gonna talk about MCT oils, what on earth they are.

Ella MillsHOST
Gosh, we are really international today because our second question comes from Ursula, who's in Germany.
Ella MillsHOST
Hi, Ursula.
Ella MillsHOST
She has said, "My question is about psyllium husks," which is the P-S-Y, in case you, like, see it written down, didn't know what it was.
Ella MillsHOST
Which I was recommended by my GP.
Kanchan KoyaGUEST

And as for berberine, it's also shown to be safe for long-term use, and if someone wanted to take a break for a few weeks or a month to see whether it makes any difference, certainly that's not an unreasonable experiment, and it's something you could try.
Hodan AliHOST
So this is what I'm going to talk about next, right? Evidence-based management tools you can use to reduce your cholesterol up to 20% to 30%.
Hodan AliHOST
okay? Psyllium has meta-analyses, right? The evidence is clear.
Hodan AliHOST
It brings down your total cholesterol, your LDL 10 to 15%.
Ahlaam IbraahimHOST
Okay? You
