The Hormone-Cholesterol Link No One Warned You About Featuring Dr. Jessica Hehmeyer

Think your cholesterol spike means it’s time for statins? Think again.

In this eye-opening episode, Sydney Torres sits down with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer, a functional medicine powerhouse, to decode the real relationship between cholesterol, hormones, and heart health—especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Spoiler: your hormones and heart are having a conversation your doctor might be ignoring.

Dr. Hehmeyer breaks down:

• Why hormonal shifts in midlife often trigger rising cholesterol levels

• The truth about statins—and why they’re not always the answer

• How fiber, food, and mindset can help you regulate cholesterol naturally

• What functional lab testing can reveal that standard labs miss

• The importance of having a health partner, not just a prescriber

If you're feeling overwhelmed, scared, or frustrated by changes in your labs, this episode offers clarity, empowerment, and real-world strategies to take control of your heart health—without fear and without unnecessary meds.

Because women deserve a better conversation about cholesterol.
