Publisher's summary

Statins are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. Yet many report unacceptable side effects, and a US survey revealed that 75 per cent of respondents stopped taking them within a year.

So what is the evidence for their benefits? Dr Aseem Malhotra, author of the best-selling The 21-Day Immunity Plan and co-author of the best-selling The Pioppi Diet, examines the claims for statins and their role in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. He introduces us to his targeted heart-health plan, which, with a diet plan, recipes and advice on reducing stress and increasing movement, can help us to live statin-free and take control of our own health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Highly Recommend!

Excellent information in this book! As a pharmacist, I’m slowly learning that much of what we’ve been taught for years about heart disease, and statins in particular, is not correct. Please read, look into studies on statins and diet, then decide for yourself.

Statins have little value

Statins have little value. More important is diet, exercise, stress, reduction, and weight by far.

Break Free! Be Statin Free!

My hope is that everyone reads/listens to this book. Unlikely & sadly, you will not get this information from your doctor.

His common sense advice and his reliance on and explanation of research

I’m an RN, and I was very impressed with this book. I’ve heard Dr. Malhotra speak before, so it was an easy cell to get me to read it. My husband has come off of statins. I was so impressed that my next reads are his books “the Pioppi Diet” and “the 21 day immunity plan.“

A must read, even for those not on statins!

This is an amazing and thorough book that is succinct and to the point and therefore perfect to give to family and friends who need to have this type of information. I really think it is a must read even for those who do not yet have concerns over heart problems, because it outlines the type of life you need to lead for metabolic health.

Great information. Well worth the time!

I really appreciate the author’s research and recommendations. In a world where everyone is in the grip of Big Pharma it is so nice to know there are physicians out there who are willing to speak educate beyond the typical protocol of treating cholesterol with statins only.
