Publisher's Summary

Statins are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. Yet many report unacceptable side effects, and a US survey revealed that 75 per cent of respondents stopped taking them within a year.

So what is the evidence for their benefits? Dr Aseem Malhotra, author of the best-selling The 21-Day Immunity Plan and co-author of the best-selling The Pioppi Diet, examines the claims for statins and their role in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. He introduces us to his targeted heart-health plan, which, with a diet plan, recipes and advice on reducing stress and increasing movement, can help us to live statin-free and take control of our own health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent book

Highly recommend this book. Summarizes all the risk factors associated with heart disease. Not just focusing on LDL.

The heavy emphasis on research based theory and both scientific and layman explanation.

This is a very well researched, clear and concise book that will have you studying for a degree as an “Armchair Cardiologist.” This is a terrific example of how we should evaluate previous claims and theories by evaluating evolving research. This should be a model for how all medical interventions are evaluated and administered. I’m very thankful that I came across this book after having been prescribe statins twice, and having many conflicting statements made by those prescribing them. In Canada, many of us rely on telemedicine as “Family Doctors” dwindle and Walk-In clinics and Urgent Care centres are closed or overwhelmed. Armed with this new information, I plan to make some serious changes to my lifestyle following the logic and reason presented here after gaining a real understanding of what’s taking place in my body. If you’re concerned about your health after being warned about heart disease, listen to this book.
