Western Medicine can have a limited perspective in our opinion when it comes to cholesterol and what's the best strategy to mange cholesterol levels.

In this episode we share a BBC news clip with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a cardiologist, who also shares some of the more holistic strategies which are actually very beneficial! Especially for mild to moderate cases shares his findings that show: "The best way to prevent heart disease is cut out ultra-processed foods, and eat real foods, include moderate exercise every day and manage stress." Dr. Malhotra

For women navigating the complexities of midlife health, conventional answers often fall short. Limitless Health-Alternative Solutions for Women 40+ moves past the frustration of normal lab results that don't match your lived experience of fatigue, brain fog, or persistent inflammation. Host Kate McDowell brings her dual perspective as a Holistic Nutritionist and Consulting Hypnotist to these conversations, framing health as an integrated system. This podcast explores the underlying connections between autoimmune responses, hormonal shifts, metabolic function, and mental resilience. Episodes delve into practical, alternative strategies that address root causes rather than isolated symptoms. You'll hear detailed discussions on nutritional adjustments tailored for changing physiology, the role of nervous system regulation in chronic conditions, and mindset tools to support sustainable change. The dialogue is grounded in the reality that healing is not linear, especially for women over forty who are tired of simplistic advice. Kate guides listeners through nuanced topics with clarity, often featuring insights from other practitioners in functional and holistic medicine. It’s a resource for anyone ready to shift from merely surviving to actively understanding and improving their long-term vitality. Tune in for a thoughtful, evidence-informed, yet deeply personal approach to reclaiming energy and clarity.
