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.

Lots of research so took time to ‘cut to the chase’

Some useful practical information but not until much later in the book in the latter chapters.

Audio book not worth it as need the handouts that go with the book

Great book but should have been offered as a package with the actual printed book or some way of downloading the menus etc

life Saving

This book is packed with goodness. A well written brief on the impact of big pharma and industrialised food production on our nations health. If we want to change the world for the better there is no place better to start than with ourself. This book will set the foundation for that world changing endeavour.

Brilliant Book

Once again Dr Aseem Malholtra writes an easy to understand and informative book. This has helped my husband and I enormously whilst we wait for him to have an angiogram in hospital for an, as yet, undiagnosed reason for AF. Whilst waiting, of course as mentioned by Aseem, my husband has been put on the full range of normal drugs!!! No explanations, even when questioned! At least when we have a diagnosis we will be able to make more informed decisions as to the way forward. Oh, and when I mentioned Coronary Calcium Score, the Junior Doctor thought I was ‘in the profession’. 😃 Thank you!

It works and is shocking that it’s not standard

I adopted a Low Carb diet after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Statins and Metaformin for life the doctors said, I chose to research an alternative path.
From 102.5 kg to 85kg in a little over a year cholesterol sorted and type 2 reversed and no exercise ( need to improve here).
I recently had a CAC test and was given a heart age of less than 30years old. I’m 54 in August. No medication just diet, meat, cream, butter, all the stuff they tell you not to eat. Zero carbs, zero sugar - Keto is the way…

A balanced approach to benefit & risk - excellent!

As a Nutritional Therapist, I fully recommend this book by Dr Aseem Malhotra to any family members or friends that may be prescribed statins to fully understand the risk / benefit ratios of such medication.
