0:10 How statins work
0:25 Cholesterol functions
0:45 Statin side effects
2:35 What you could do
Today, we’re going to talk about statins and statin side effects. Statins work by blocking a certain enzyme that blocks your production of cholesterol. Your liver cells make a good amount of cholesterol in your body. The cholesterol in your body is not just coming from the diet. It’s also coming from your own cells.
Cholesterol is a precursor for making bile salts. Bile salts are involved in digesting fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. If you don’t have enough bile salts, your risk for gallstones goes up as well as the risk of pancreatitis.
A big side effect of statins is myopathy. This is a general term for muscle disease. Another side effect is high levels of creatine kinase, which can indicate muscle wasting. Statins can also deplete CoQ10, which is an enzyme involved in giving your muscles energy.
If you’re deficient in CoQ10, you could experience:
• Muscle wasting
• Muscle weakness
• Lower back pain
• Heart failure
• And more…
Taking CoQ10 while taking statins could help diminish the symptoms of myopathy.

I had a mild stroke. The doctor put me on statins and blood thinners. It about finished me off. I called the doctors office and told them of my side effects of which included severe dizziness and falling frequently. They messaged me back and told me to quit the medicines and cancelled my next appointments! I am 70 years old and a retired RN. I have never had an appointment canceled or known any doctor I worked for cancel an appointment of a patient. But I should have sent him a thank you card🥳. It’s been almost a year and I’m taking the CoQ10 and doing the healthy route. I have not fallen any in months. I am walking well and feeling is back almost prestroke level. I feel pretty good. Love you Dr. Berg. You are a real doctor who understands the functions of the body. 💕

My late 70s mum went to the doctors to be told "at your age you should be on statins". She was a keen gardener and pretty fit. Within a few weeks she could barely walk and certainly not kneel to do gardening. I did an internet search to find a lot of people with similar problems. Next time she went to the doctors she put the statins back on his desk and said "you can have these back, I'd rather die than be crippled". It took a while but she's back to her self again now.

After a few months I was in pain & had to ask him what was wrong as I was pain free before I started statin. He never mention COQ10. I had to find out myself by watching some videos on RU-vid including this one. I stopped statin without permission from my dr to save myself from pain.

@broadsword6650 3 года назад

I was obese and was put on blood pressure meds and statins. The statins caused bad pain in my hips, making it very uncomfortable to lie down in bed. The BP meds (and probably the statins too) contributed to me suffering acute necrotising pancreatitis, which nearly killed me and left me with T2D. After that I refused further statins and other meds and went on to the keto diet. I lost more that 90lbs. My blood pressure is normal. I’m no longer obese. I’m fitter than I have ever been. These treatments are based on bad science and a misunderstanding of the medical processes at work. They treat the symptoms, not the base problem, which in my case was obesity, insulin resistance and, mostly, a bad diet ( even though I ate what dieticians recommended!)

The muscle pain from statins can be extreme. It crippled my mother so badly I had to cook and clean for her. Many people on statins don't tell the doctor about it, they don't know, thinking the aches are a normal part of aging. The doc put her off the statins for a week, the pain immediately went away and she's running around like she's 20 years younger.

I was on statins for many years, then I was diagnosed as a T2 diabetic and began the recommended regimen with meds with only moderate success. As I began to educate myself about T2 and researched the meds I was taking I discovered the statin was contributing to my increased blood glucose. Fast forward I began a keto regimen and after a few months decided to wean off the statin at least temporarily to see how much the statin affected my BG numbers. After seeing my numbers decrease by 15-20 points on average. I also noticed my general feeling of body aches and malaise went away, along with the migraine headaches I had suffered from for years, and as I thought back I never had a migraine until I started on statins. So I am no longer using the poison they are pushing, yes my total cholesterol is higher than the Dr. wants but my triglycerides are low, and HDL is higher than it has ever been. I have politely told my Dr. we can discuss so long as the conversation does not include statins. I am also free from meds for T2.

That was 6 years ago and those mental effects have lessened and only now am I beginning to feel more like my old self. And touch wood no further blocked arteries.

@peterstevens3395 Год назад

In addition to depleting your body of CoQ10, statins lower your levels of vitamin K2 and HMG Co-enzyme A Reductase, the latter of which is an enzyme your liver uses to make ketones. So, if you're on a statin drug, you have dramatically impaired ketone production, even if you’re fasting!! Also, statins lower dolichol, which plays an important role in mitochondrial function. It is responsible for the process of putting sugar chains on top of glycosylated proteins. They help maintain the barrier function in the cell and regulate the uptake of nutrients.

What I did see is my A1C raised to 6.5, glucose increased to 134 and triglycerides increased to 189; it was turning me into a type 2 diabetic. I had really bad back pains in bed at night and when I asked my doctor about it he said to take a pain pill. My pharmacist told me to take Coq10 and it really helped. I’m now on the keto diet and things have greatly improved.

We are all responsible for our own selves including health and fitness. I had a decent diet (mostly healthy) and was in good physical condition going to the gym at least four times a week, a mix of cardio and resistance training. I felt damn good overall! After a health check about 7 years ago I was informed that I had both high blood pressure and cholesterol. On my Dr advise I agreed to use statins for treatment, lowest doses for both. A few years later I had the kidney stone, going to the bathroom was virtually like water almost every time, and a few years later I started having very painful leg cramps. Four months ago I stopped taking statins completely. Results…no more stones (I hope) no diarrhea and no cramps. I’m also sleeping better, more sound but the same amount of time, about 6 hours, and I feel GREAT! Side note…no wife either, that might help!

I was on a high dose of Atorvastatin for years. During that time I had emergency gallbladder surgery at 3AM due to a stone stuck in the common bile duct. My gallbladder was about to burst. I ended up with an 8" abdominal incision because my gallbladder was too large to remove via laparoscopic surgery. My cholesterol dropped to 19...yes, 19 which is dangerously low. I was so tired and weak. My legs felt like lead weights. My wife and I are retired nurses, so I was trying to be a compliant patient. I took myself off of the Atorvastatin and many of the ill effects have resolved.

Dr Berg, my husband has been taking statins for many years as well as Co Q10. He is very sensitive to the side effects of the statins and has often suffered from muscle pain, but his latest brand and dosage has been the best so far in that regard. Hoewever his symptoms flared up again recently and lasted until our GP advised him against taking lemon juice which I expressed every morning in my husband's water bottle. Apparantly grapefruit juice plays a big role in this regard but also other citrus fruit as it keeps the meds in the bloodstream for longer (in layman's terms). The muscle pain ceased as soon as he stopped taking the lemon juice. We have been following your IF and healthy Keto plan for a month now - feeling great and losing weight 😊 ! Thank you so much!

@jaynej9924 3 года назад

Dr Berg, please would you consider making a series of videos on what you would do if long term prescription medication became suddenly unavailable. For example: thyroxine, asthma inhalers, antihypertensives. It really would ease a lot of worry about the future right now. There is now a documented case already in UK where someone has been denied essential surgery that they had waited a year for because she refused to have a certain test done which is very well documented as being useless.

It could potentially save untold numbers of people. Re. the lady refused treatment for non-compliance. We don’t know her medical history or the reason for her surgery therefore cannot judge whether it is needed. That is not the point. It is that medical professionals are willing to follow non scientific, inhumane policies and use coercion against their patients.

I'm 42, I have been on 20mg, then 10mg of a statin for 6 years for high cholesterol and a 60% narrowed artery Junction in the heart. My LDL cholesterol has been low, but so is my HDL too low and triglycerides too high. I've been following healthy keto and intermittent fasting for 3 months now for a recent T2d diagnosis and my LDL cholesterol has gone up!. The cardiologist won't let me reduce the statin because apparently research has shown that statins long term can erase the narrowing of my artery without putting a stent. For many years my creatnine kinese has been very high causing muscle aches and weakness, but my recent blood test showed a significant drop of CK which the doc has put down to my change of diet. I still have muscle aches though 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. I'm scared to come off the statins because my LDL has gone up, also I have the narrowed artery, but I am trying to slowly get off my meds in general. I want to heal myself with diet, but should I reduce or stop the statin? I know doctors and specialists can only see medications as the fix for everything, which can cause other problems.

With statins been targeted on 50+ generation. A work force that are no longer able to provide for themselves. That will be dependant on the government system and medical industry and ultimately a waste of life for those that are entering their senior years. This will create unnecessary illness and death. These symptoms will not be admitted to by the medical industry. Thus not claiming responsibility for long term damages. With no compensation for the victims.

Ubiquinol is the ONLY form of CoQ10 that older people should take, as it is the same form that occurs naturally in the body. As we age, we are not able to convert the oxidized form (ubiquinone) as efficiently as when we are young. Personally, I don't think anyone should bother with the oxidized form. Ubiquinol is more expensive, but it's worth the cost to get the far superior absorption. Be sure to look for the "Kaneka" trademark on the ingredients label. If you don't see that word, it's not real ubiquinol.

They lower cholesterol but the heart disease rate stays the same. Eat an organic apple a day and take fish oil

@frankenz66 3 года назад

Why an apple? AMPK?

cod liver oil has bonus to fish oil and take Vit E - tocotrienols too

Apple peels contain pectin which binds bile acids in your gut

Sadly most apples are gmo and are essentially natures candy. Surely there is another, less sugary option?

Not on a statin but have a 325 cholesterol level. I was concerned about blockage so i had a stress test yesterday. Im 58 and had zero blockage so i will continue to NOT take a statin. Thanks for your sharing Doc!

From my years in the hospital, what I gathered is, more women than men end up having the myopathy symptoms. My grandma was one of them, she was put on a statin in her early 70s....she had permanent debilitating muscle cramps in her legs for YEARS. Even after stopping the drug pretty quickly. It still caused chronic dysfunction in her muscles. She also believes it caused her to have type 2 diabetes. Terrible drug.

My recent lab work result was 211 total cholesterol, 118 LDL, 79 HDL, Triglycerides 53. So both total cholesterol and LDL were in the red zone. But the more important HDL to total cholesterol ratio and the triglyceride to HDL ratio were very good. I was shocked that my MD did not recommend statin. I think the news is finally sinking in with the medical profession.

@tonylovesotis7662 3 года назад

Your lipid profile is very good. LDL and total cholesterol are largely irrelevant when your TGL/HDL ratio is 1:1 or lower. Yours is well below this ratio, indicating optimal metabolic health and low oxidized LDL. You are not a statin candidate. Congratulations and wishing you ongoing good health.

@happycheers6947 Год назад

At that numbers no sane doctor will give u statin. If your doctor give u statin at that numbers it means he/she is stupid and someone has to stop them to do medical practice 😄

Well Statins are on my allergy list. I started them in October 2018, had a major surgery a week later, and the trauma from it, ( we perceived ) caused what was perceived as a gout flare. I had nearer constant gout flares until July 2019, and when my uric acid levels dropped below 5.0, my doctor said, the only other thing that might be causing this could be the statin. I dropped the statin, and three days later I was fine and hadn't had trouble since. There were less than 10 days in between the aforementioned dates that I was able to walk under my own power. It was painfully insane. My uric acid level is barely 4.0 these days.

@SusieAspen 11 месяцев назад

I was wondering what caused this horrible gout flare--like labor pains of the toe. My joint doubled in size, and I was only on them for less than a week (I stopped).

@frankenz66 11 месяцев назад

@@SusieAspen I know it was a week after starting statins for me. I had also had a rotator cuff surgery when just after starting the statins. So I could not have any steroids for the symptoms of the gout. With my history of gout they overlooked statins and I suffered terribly for 10 months straight.

Can statins irritate the kidney, particularly one prone to kidney stones? And what about taking statins with SiBO? As soon as you mentioned low bile salts it made me curious. This is a great video Dr. Berg, thank you!

@te7931 9 месяцев назад

SiBO? Drink kefir daily, start eating fermented foods several times a week (pickles, fairytale, kimchi, sourdough, yogurt, villi) and increase the soluable and insoluable fiber. Sibo is a lack of probiotics problem

Large portion of thin ppl that don't watch their wt but remain thin w/ high metabolism have this probiotic. Helps with hunger, speed metabolism, sleep better, and use food more efficiently. Also, I've lost 17# in 6 wks using it. I also go to the gym for 50min every other day for wts but I've been doing that for 8 Mo's with no change.

a year ago, I had a heart attack, and my total chol was 466. I had been doing keto about 8 months at that time. I have the familial hypercholesterolemia ( and hereditary hemochromatosis ) and was told genetically I was missing the enzyme that wound bind chol to protein and allow it to be excreted. During the cardiac angiogram my vessels were WIDE OPEN, no blockages. They did find a birth defect; an anomalous right cardiac artery that had to be bypassed. The defect is being pinched between the pulmonary arteries and still there, they didn't chop it out, just rerouted the plumbing. Now i am so scared to do keto! Every time i do, my cholesterol jumps sky high. Im thinking, in my specific case, keto may not be safe.

@vickieturner8688 3 года назад

The Doc has videos on why cholesterol increases when starting Keto. You may want to search for those.

I'm off statin a few days now and it's a 360° immediate about turn on my joint pains. I'm 67yrs, actively into new sport of Pickleball and weight resistance training. Somedays, it was agonizing pains on joints but I happened to discover what other's experiences and since stopping, my pain stopped overnight!!!. I sip pineapple juice every other day for joint pains and now back trading and playing. Don't believe everything you are prescribed. I have a good doctor but sometimes you wonder if even they are following 'the line of advice from coorporations'?
