Publisher's summary

Are you confused by what your cholesterol levels really say about your health? Don't you wish someone could just spell it out in simple English and tell you what, if anything, you need to do to improve your heart and overall health? That's precisely what Cholesterol Clarity is designed to do. Jimmy Moore, a prolific and highly respected health blogger and podcaster, interviewed 28 of the world's top health experts from various fields to give you the complete lowdown on cholesterol. He and his co-author, family practitioner and researcher Dr. Eric Westman, have broken down this critical information for you to know what is most important and what is not.

You won't find this kind of comprehensive, cutting-edge, expert-driven cholesterol information all in one place anywhere else. Did you know, for instance, that you don't have to eat a low-fat diet, take a statin drug, or eat more of the so-called "healthy" whole grains to get your cholesterol levels where they need to be? Learn what really works from the best experts on the subject. Cholesterol Clarity will not only tell you what your LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and other key cholesterol markers really mean, but it will arm you with what you can do nutritionally to become as optimally healthy as you can possibly be!

Featured Experts: Dr. William Davis, Dr. Ronald Krauss, Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Duane Graveline, Dr. Jonny Bowden, Dr. Chris Masterjohn, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, Dr. John Briffa, Dr. Thomas Dayspring, Dr. Fred Pescatore, Gary Taubes and over a dozen more!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Eye Openner!

Comprehensive information about cholesterol written in an accessible manner. Narration was good, but I did speed it up to 1.35.

empowering

Jimmy Moore delivers valuable information about taking control and understanding cholesterol tests that can lead to unwanted medications prescribed by doctors. must read...

Useful info

Insightful points backed up by real data but will leave you hearing a chime long after you’re done listening to the book. The moments of clarity could have been toned down as it disrupted the information flow.

A Must Read

This book is for anyone looking for straight answers about cholesterol and it's role in our heart health.

Excellent but, with poor recording issues

What did you love best about Cholesterol Clarity?

The subject matter in this book is excellent. It is on point and provides plenty of analogy to make an otherwise difficult topic easy to digest. Nearly everything you would want to know about the state of cholesterol and current screening processes for heart disease which, are likely shortsighted at best.

What other book might you compare Cholesterol Clarity to and why?

This is better than Keto Clarity overall. Jimmy Moore seemed to be more on point with this book and less redundant. However, there are major recording issues in here where you can hear clearly that he overdubbed parts of the book later. It is distracting but, does not totally ruin the book. However, I am surprise he did not re-record the whole thing to make it more professional.

Any additional comments?

Recording quality is not great at times.

Great book

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been told they have high cholesterol. As an informed patient, you can take more control of your overall health and well-being.

great information recording could have been better

Jimmy Moore provides great information on cholesterol, what the numbers mean, and the affect on your health. Jimmy always backs up his information with experts and research so I trust his writing. My only criticism in the recording quality in some sections. It seems the edits were made differently than the main recording. So as you're listening there are sections where he sounds like he's in a cave. This was a little annoying, but became less frequent as the book went on. I still highly recommend this book as the information is so vital and enlightening; a necessary read for anyone that wants to be in optimal health.

Life Saving Book - bought 4 hard copies to share

This book will save lives. It was just the start of a journey through other books along the line of the damage done to our bodies via grains / carbs / sugar and the healing and healthful benefits of good fats. The programming the public has received in the past decades has been upside down and backwards and as a result many people have suffered with inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, alzheimers, cancer, and shortened lives with much of their budget spent on pharmaceuticals when simple knowledge of how food works in the body would have led to health, happier days and ease of movement.

How many people suffer because they don't know what is in this book and the other books along this line of knowledge? How many families have been broken due to family members dying, or suffering long illness or loss of everything they have worked for to pay medical bills?

Audible has numerous books now along this line, and while the audio editing of this book is poor, the message alone is valuable. I gave this book in hardcover to people who have need for it. One person (the smartest of the group) has eliminated 2 prescriptions so far and is feeling less aches and pains and has improved her quality of life. Two people are not "readers" so the books given are unused. One person skims and says the message is valid, but does not have the will power to change their diet.

This book can change, improve, and save lives by providing people with the power to understand their bodies, how lab tests are used to justify the broad use of pharmaceuticals, and empowers people to change.

Some doctors are up-to-date and understand this information. Too many still don't. It is up to the proactive person to take personal responsibility for what they eat and change their health. This book is a foundational understanding. There are other books that carry on and give great dietary information - also on Audible.

A good book, but

Where does Cholesterol Clarity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think its information is good. It references many other books that I have listened to on audible.com. So it's not just an author providing his own claims or theories. He also has an expert who helps him with writing the book.

What did you like best about this story?

The book as a whole is very informative and very simplistic. That makes for easy comprehension. I love the clarity notes with the sound because it alerts you enough to pay attention to the supporting information to back up the claim.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The quality of the book is the main issue. Some segments are great some segments should have been redone. The audio quality goes from sounding like it was done in the studio to sounding like it was done in someone's bathroom. There were also too many long pauses between sections. And finally, the narrator has a bad habit of smacking his lips between sentences. The smacking ceased the further into the book you get.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No real reactions other than getting annoyed (smacking, long pauses) or having those aha moments.

Any additional comments?

Overall if you can tolerate the smacking, long pauses, and changes in audio quality, the book is very informative and comprehensible. I think anyone who wants to better understand cholesterol should get the book.
