Um, ever heard of a doctor prescribing fasting, keto, or exercise for prediabetes?
My leaky gut experience, which they still argue isn't a real thing, is a classic example of them wanting to hammer down every symptom without finding or fixing the cause. My body was reacting to a real issue. Take away its ability to compensate in one way it will just compensate differently with new symptoms.
How about statins? You have poor metabolic health. Your body tries to upregulate cholesterol to bring your energy levels back up. Rather than fix your metabolic health, the doctor prescribes statins to force cholesterol down. Guess what happens? Sugar is your other energy option so it upregulates blood sugar causing diabetes. Go ahead and look up the rates of statins causing diabetes, big open secret they do nothing about because diabetes kills you slightly slower while on more drugs than just high cholesterol. Also an open secret that statins deplete coq10 which is critical for mitochondria health. Why does that matter? Mitochondria health is the root of metabolic health. So by taking statins your cholesterol is better today but worse tomorrow requiring higher dose statins.
Please don't just randomly quit your statin over this post, you will absolutely die faster without it if you really have high cholesterol and haven't fixed your mitochondria health. Add coq10, pqq, fasting, and steady state cardio to fix your mitochondria. If you really do the work the doctor will lower your doses in time as you get better. Mitochondria have slow turnover so this will take months to years of dedication.
