Low cholesterol is firmly associated with depression, anxiety, irritability, violence, insomnia and even suicide. Cholesterol in the brain is critical for serotonin production. In fact cholesterol makes up about 25% of your brain!
Why is this important? Well for many years now we have all been told to avoid cholesterol like the plague, as it was assumed to have been the cause behind cardio vascular disease. Now modern research has proven, not only was this theory incorrect, but inflammation is more problematic. Ironically we all switched to vegetable oils to cook our food with, which are actually very pro inflammatory. To add fuel to the fire we all cut out cholesterol from our diets, not realising that our bodies are very smart and can manufacture its own cholesterol. Furthermore, what really increases our internal production of cholesterol is excessive carbohydrate/sugar consumption. Internally we created a scenario of inflammation, insulin resistance (per diabetes) and cholesterol being out of whack, which leads to poor mood stabilisation and very sick bodies.
The good news is all of the above mentioned is reversible!! At Integrated Men’s Health Solutions (IMHS) we have an amazing team that delves deep into all issues (we don't just apply a band-aide) and work with all our clients to sort through the root cause of depression, anxiety, anger and more. Of course cholesterol deregulation won't be the only thing making you feel like crap, but at IMHS we can definitely help you get down to what is causing you to feel scattered, unfocussed, tired and emotional. Call us today and find out how!
