The Cholesterol Fix: Righto fam, my nutritionist cap is going back on! In a nutshell I got my cholesterol tested back in Australia in Jan and it was pretty darn high, enough to scare me into action, it was 8.3 total cholesterol and my LDL (thats what people often refer to as the bad cholesterol) was 5.7 so i saw my trusty naturopath Jad and got a plan in place before retesting again 4 months later. So in this episode we unpack the results but also the changes i made to significantly reduce my levels!In this chat we'll cover: Beyond the Numbers and why functional tests are and important part of the pictureWhat's ApoB and Lp(a)The Cholesterol Conversation (whats LDL and how does it work) Heart Health Simplified (simply dietary tweaks to support your cardiovascular system)The LDL Lowdown The Cholesterol Turnaround (how we can use our diet and lifestyle to help guide our cholesterol) Big Love, hope you love this health style wellness ep!As always, reach out on insta @yummololaberry if you have thoughts about this episode or want my naturopaths details, he's amazing!Lola x Hosted on Acast.

LA UPDATE:No acting auditions this week, just two availability checks - one for a commercial audition that was looking for a podcast host, so that would have been a fun one. The other was a background availability check for Baywatch, which is shooting in Venice Beach, but i had a podcast already booked in so I couldn’t do that one. Actually one audition came in right before i recorded this! So i'll be self taping that right after this recordingSince was last spoke i’ve recorded 4 pods; one with a bravery expert, one with a shark conservationist, one with an actor and today I recorded a health episode all around lipid profiles and cholesterol.The Bravery one came out on Monday, here’s a couple of take aways:To be successful, you need to grow. To grow, you need to face discomfort.Discomfort and growth are two sides of the same coinTo be brave is to be willing to face discomfortBravery is contagiousWe also saw the new Mando & Grogu film a The Chinese Theatre on IMAX and it was unreal! Highly recommend and kiddo friendly too!After that we had a date night at Musso & Frank the iconic LA spot thats been open since 1919, we had a gin martini with a twist and shared broccolini, a steak and some chippies. It did not disappoint. You can take photos in the restaurant but its got this old Hollywood feel to it, in fact I think they filmed scenes from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Studio there too!We’ve also been going through all the fostering steps and approvals for Guide Dogs of America (GDA) to foster a little girl, we had our house check yesterday, we attended a GDA meeting last weekend and we have our final interview today, wish us luck!Big LoveLola x Hosted on Acast.
