Are statins really as dangerous as the internet claims—or are they being misunderstood?
In this episode of Ultra Life Today, board-certified cardiologist Dr. Royce Bargas breaks down the real science behind statin drugs—without fear-mongering or pharmaceutical blind spots.
We cover:
* How statins actually work in the body
* When statins can protect the brain and reduce vascular dementia
* Why muscle pain happens—and how often it really occurs
* The critical difference between fat-soluble vs water-soluble statins
* Why 80 mg atorvastatin is often overused
* The biomarkers that matter more than LDL alone (ApoB, oxidized LDL, inflammation)
* When lifestyle, nutrition, and metabolic health may reduce or eliminate the need for statins
This is a pragmatic, personalized approach to cardiovascular health—from a physician trained in both conventional cardiology and functional medicine.
