Statins and Dementia: Surprising Link Revealed

A friend who was fine went on statins and within 3 years was dead from Dementia. It happened so fast.

This is a deep, long-form medical discussion intended for serious learners. I’ll be adding chapter timestamps shortly for easier navigation.

🗽 My mother has dementia. We have cancelled the statins against the doctors recommendation. Despite that the total cholesterol is not high, only the LDL is higher. But we don't mind. .

I take 5mg Risuvastatin for the reduced inflammation. I will not take high dose statins. Instead lowered my trigs from 200's to <75 with low card diet which also lowers my inflammation.

Thank you for trying to disseminate accurate information and trying to combat misinformation in medicine and public health.

@36:10 wow this mechanism of insulin resistance via cholesterol deprivation is huge, no one has ever made it so clear, these tidbits r y I've stuck to hearing ur lectures for years thank u dr been🙌💪 I guess that raises the next question how low is too low to cause this, prob depends on the person I'm guessing

Liking-in with a hello to @Drbeen Medical Lectures and all KoolBeens!

Thank you Dr Been. I am a pulmonary/critical care doc. I learn so much from you. The depth and clarity of your explanations are outstanding. There is no other platform even close. Please keep educating. You make a huge difference by presenting unadulterated science. 🙏🏾

Thanks for taking the time to present quality information.

I have been on statins for 20 years with absolutely no negative side effects. At 67yo, calcium score : zero, and no vessel or valve disease - thank you statins - I am the only one in my peer grew up with a zero calcium score. I recently switched to Rapatha to see if desmosterol levels return to baseline. If lp-pla2 or mpo rise, I’ll add back a 2.5mg rosuvastatin.
