Simon Hill just dropped an episode with Dr Andrea Glenn from Harvard and NYU called “The Diet That Lowers Cholesterol Like a Statin” . If you’re working on your cholesterol, it’s worth watching.
They break down the Portfolio Diet: a stack of five evidence-backed foods that research shows can lower LDL comparably to a low-dose statin.
Here’s what the five pillars are:
🌱 Plant sterols - 2g/day blocks cholesterol absorption in the gut
🌾 Viscous fibre -oats, barley, psyllium husk — binds cholesterol for excretion
🫘 Plant protein - legumes, tofu, tempeh — influences how the liver processes cholesterol
🥜 Nuts - a small handful daily improves lipid profiles
🫒 Monounsaturated fats - extra virgin olive oil, avocado, canola oil
The challenge with plant sterols? Getting to 2 grams from food alone is difficult - it typically requires a supplement.
That’s exactly what our product is designed to do - hit that 2g target in one serve, so the rest of the stack can do its job.
