About this listen

Think your cholesterol spike means it’s time for statins? Think again.


In this eye-opening episode, Sydney Torres sits down with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer, a functional medicine powerhouse, to decode the real relationship between cholesterol, hormones, and heart health—especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Spoiler: your hormones and heart are having a conversation your doctor might be ignoring.


Dr. Hehmeyer breaks down:

  • Why hormonal shifts in midlife often trigger rising cholesterol levels

  • The truth about statins—and why they’re not always the answer

  • How fiber, food, and mindset can help you regulate cholesterol naturally

  • What functional lab testing can reveal that standard labs miss

  • The importance of having a health partner, not just a prescriber

If you're feeling overwhelmed, scared, or frustrated by changes in your labs, this episode offers clarity, empowerment, and real-world strategies to take control of your heart health—without fear and without unnecessary meds.


Because women deserve a better conversation about cholesterol.
