Will Eating More Meat Impact Your Cholesterol? Let’s Get Real

Is eating red meat actually raising your cholesterol — or are we blaming the wrong foods?
In this episode, Claire Duchesneau, longevity coach at HealthspanMD, dives deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: the connection between meat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
Red meat, in particular, has long been villainized for its saturated fat content, but the science is far more nuanced than most headlines suggest. Backed by insights from experts like Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Don Layman, this episode explores what really impacts your cholesterol — and spoiler alert, it’s not your weekly steak dinner.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
Why saturated fat may raise LDL slightly — and why that’s not the full picture
The role refined carbs and excess calories play in damaging your cholesterol profile
Why context matters (how you eat meat matters more than how often)
The difference between total cholesterol and more accurate risk markers like triglycerides and ApoB
Simple, empowering strategies for eating animal protein without fear
How to combine lean proteins, unsaturated fats, and fiber to support heart health and longevity
Whether you’re carnivore-curious, trying to hit protein goals, or just tired of nutrition confusion — this episode gives you the clarity (and freedom) you’ve been craving.
🔗 Mentioned in This Episode:
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon – Author, longevity expert & protein-forward physician
Dr. Don Layman – Protein metabolism researcher & thought leader in optimal nutrition
Soluble fiber-rich foods for lowering cholesterol (oats, chia, beans)
At-home cholesterol test recommendations
