Can you lower your cholesterol without taking a statin? Absolutely. But here’s the real question—how do statins actually work? Most people think it’s magic. Spoiler alert: it’s not. It’s biochemistry.

Statins lower cholesterol by activating AMPK, your body’s master regulator of metabolism. The good news? You don’t need a statin to activate AMPK. The right diet can do it too. But not just any diet—the Zone Diet, the most clinically tested diet designed to activate AMPK and reduce cholesterol naturally.
