Confused about cholesterol? GP Dr Ellen Fallows joins Liz to unpack everything you need to know about cholesterol - and how to make personal choices between lifestyle interventions and medication.


Ellen reveals exactly what cholesterol is - and why it's important - and discusses with Liz how concerned we need to be about this fatty compound.


The episode also covers the optimum levels of cholesterol, the role of food and our diets here, and Ellen shares alternatives to statins, if we prefer not to go down that route.
