The Truth About Heart Disease: Cholesterol Myths, Statins, and the Real Root Cause

The Truth About Heart Disease: Cholesterol Myths, Statins, and the Real Root Cause
Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—exposes what he calls the three biggest medical myths about heart disease: that cholesterol is the primary cause, that low-cholesterol diets prevent heart attacks, and that statin drugs are a safe, catch-all solution. He reframes cardiovascular risk around inflammation, metabolic health, and visceral fat, and explains why decades of cholesterol-centric thinking have not delivered the promised results.
Drawing on 34 years in practice and extensive work with complex chronic illness, Dr. Murphree walks through the roles of cholesterol, CoQ10, magnesium, omega-3s, blood sugar, blood pressure, and belly fat in heart health—then outlines dietary, lifestyle, and supplement strategies he believes can reduce risk, improve energy, and support healthier outcomes. This training is educational and encourages patients to understand their labs, their medications, and to work with their doctors on any treatment changes.
