We're back with another book report! This week we recap "The Great Cholesterol Myth-Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease and the Statin-Free Plan That Will."

"The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors. Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry." The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels.

This week the duo is joined by a special guest to discuss all things chiropractic care! Dr. Jeremy Maxwell, D.C. from The Wellness Way Columbia.

Jeremy grew up in Pleasanton, CA and graduated from Amador Valley High School in 1992. He then attended York College in York, NE on a soccer scholarship to attain his undergraduate studies in pre-chiropractic. It was in York where he met my wife Shelby, who is from Rhinelander, WI. Jeremy attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and went on to open his practice in Fayette, MO from April 2001 through June 2018, and now practice in Columbia, MO since 2005. Shelby and Jeremy have four wonderful children: Aiden, Myya, Emilia, and Zechman.

​

Jeremy absolutely loves what he has been called to do, and that is to help families maximize their health potential through Chiropractic and through The Wellness Way-Columbia. No other profession gets to intimately work with the innate healing potential the Creator placed in each of us like the Chiropractic profession.

Every day, we get to witness lives changing and health improving by turning on the power of the human body through spinal corrections and removing stressors. When the brain and body can talk without interruption, the Creator's design of continual self-healing can be expressed.

Starting in 2025 Brandon has hosted a once-monthly Zoom meeting open to anyone who would like to attend. The meetings offer a brief presentation on a various nutrition topic, and are followed by a Q&A for those in attendance.

This is a recording of the meeting.
