The Cholesterol Myth And The Dangers Of Statins And More With Dr Zoe Harcombe

About this conversation:

In this conversation with Zoe, we explore the journey to discovering optimal health through diet and lifestyle choices. We highlight the importance of avoiding processed foods, restricting eating windows, prioritizing sleep, and following a high animal fat and protein diet.

The conversation challenges the conventional calorie theory and exposes the lack of evidence behind dietary guidelines. Zoe also debunks the cholesterol myth and talks about the dangers of statins.

Dr Zoë Harcombe is a Cambridge University graduate with a BA and MA in economics/maths. Zoë enjoyed a successful career in global blue chip organisations (including big food and big pharma) before leaving corporate life in 2008 to pursue her passion – diet and health.

Zoë was awarded a PhD in public health nutrition in 2016. Her thesis was a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence for the introduction of dietary fat restrictions. She has over 20 peer-reviewed publications challenging government dietary guidelines.

This is a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy it.
