Cholesterol Explained: Live Webinar

What your cholesterol results really mean, and what to do about them.

You've had the blood test. You've been given the numbers. But has anyone actually explained what they mean?

You sit down with your GP. They tell you your cholesterol is high. Maybe they mention a statin. Maybe they suggest cutting back on saturated fat and red meat. And then the appointment ends.

You leave with a printout and a vague sense of concern, but no real clarity on what’s actually going on, what’s driving your results, or what you can do about it.

That disconnect – between the number on the page and the understanding you need to act on it – is exactly why we created this webinar.

In 25 minutes, Holly and Caroline will walk you through what your cholesterol results are really telling you: the markers that matter, the ones your standard test misses, and the questions worth asking before you agree to anything. Then the floor is yours. 25 minutes of Q&A, built around the questions you send us in advance.

No jargon. No scare tactics. Just clear, honest answers from two registered nutritional therapists who work with cholesterol and cardio-metabolic health every day.

What Holly and Caroline will cover

This isn’t a general healthy eating talk. It’s a focused, clinical conversation about cholesterol – built around the questions we hear most often in clinic and the things most people are never told.

In 25 minutes, you'll understand:

Why your total cholesterol number tells you almost nothing on its own, and what actually matters.
The difference between LDL-C and LDL particle size, and why two people with the same number can have very different risks.
What HDL really does, and why “high HDL = good” is too simple.
Why triglycerides are one of the most informative markers on your results, and what drives them up (it’s not dietary fat).
The advanced markers your GP isn’t testing: ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, fasting insulin, and why they change the picture.
How inflammation turns otherwise manageable cholesterol into a cardiovascular risk factor.
The role of blood sugar, genetics, and your gut in determining your cholesterol profile.
When lifestyle and nutrition can genuinely move the needle, and the questions worth asking your GP about medication.

Then 25 minutes of Q&A

This is your chance to ask what you didn’t get to ask in your GP appointment.

To make the most of the time, we’re gathering questions in advance. Send yours to clinic@integralwellness.co.uk. We’ll group similar questions together and never share your name.

We can’t interpret individual results or advise on medication in a group session, but we can help you understand what’s behind your numbers.

Who this webinar is for?

This webinar is for you if:

You’ve been told your cholesterol is high and you want to actually understand what that means
You’re currently on statins and wondering what else you should be doing – or whether the underlying drivers have ever been addressed
You’ve been offered a statin but want to understand whether lifestyle changes are a realistic alternative first
You have a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease and want to get ahead of it
You’ve left a GP appointment feeling like you got a prescription but not an explanation
You simply want to understand your blood test results properly, in enough depth to ask better questions and make more informed decisions

It’s especially relevant if you’ve ever felt that the standard cholesterol conversation didn’t quite fit your situation – or that something was being missed.

Who it's probably not for

This webinar probably isn’t for you if:

You’re looking for a simple list of foods to avoid and nothing more
You’re not interested in understanding the why behind your results
You want a one-size-fits-all plan that doesn’t account for your individual biology

Cholesterol is personal. The most effective approach always depends on what’s actually driving it, and that looks different for everyone.

Save your seat - it's free!

The live webinar is on Wednesday, 14th October at 6:00pm.

If you can’t make it live, register anyway, as the recording will be available to all registered attendees after the event.

We will not provide the recording to anyone who hasn’t registered by the time we go live.

Meet your hosts

Holly Rothschild

Registered Nutritional Therapist | Integral Wellness

Holly specialises in cardiometabolic health and works with clients to understand the full picture behind their cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. She thrives in going beyond the standard panel to identify the metabolic, inflammatory, and genetic drivers that are most often missed. Holly brings clinical precision and warmth in equal measure, and has a particular talent for making complex science genuinely accessible.

Caroline

Registered Nutritional Therapist & Certified Health Coach | Integral Wellness

Caroline has experience supporting clients with high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular health issues, including people on statins who want to understand and address what’s driving their results, and those looking for a personalised nutrition approach before medication enters the conversation. Caroline is known for her thorough, evidence-based approach and her ability to translate clinical complexity into clear, practical action.

Holly and Caroline are both registered with BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).

"I learnt so much about nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise and overall wellness, and this all added up to a stack of small impactful improvements across all aspects of my health and well-being. My cholesterol dropped 3 points in 3 months, and my GP couldn't believe it was from diet alone. I gained deeper insights into food and diet, and have gone from a ready meal queen to a whole food diva"

Claire-Louise

"Caroline helped me achieve my goals, in particular reducing my cholesterol by 25% and resulting in not needing statins. She provides a holistic approach backed by research. Very personable, knowledgeable and attentive."

Aileen

"Hugely appreciated the expert nutritionist guidance by Integral Wellness. I had hoped to make a series of small health tweaks but the advice led me to more fundamental changes. Really pleased."

And then what?

At Integral Wellness, we work with people who are done with vague answers and generic advice about their cholesterol.

Many of our clients come to us after years of being told their results are “fine” or “managed”, only to discover through proper testing that significant risk factors had never been looked at.

Others come having been offered a statin without any conversation about what was causing the problem in the first place. And some simply want the kind of thorough, personalised explanation that a 10-minute GP appointment can never provide.

What they have in common is wanting to actually understand, so they can make informed decisions about their health, not just follow instructions they don’t fully trust.

That’s where this webinar begins. And if you want to take it further after the event, we’re here.

That's why we do things differently

Integral Wellness is a specialist cardio-metabolic nutrition clinic. We combine comprehensive advanced testing with personalised clinical nutrition to give you a complete picture of your cardiovascular health and a strategy built around what’s actually driving your results.

When it comes to cholesterol, that means:

Running comprehensive cardiometabolic panels that go well beyond what a standard GP screen reveals, including ApoB, Lp(a), sdLDL, oxidised LDL, hsCRP, fasting insulin, homocysteine, and more.
Interpreting your results in the context of your full metabolic picture – blood sugar, inflammation, genetics, gut health, and methylation.
Using Lifecode Gx nutrigenomic testing to understand how your individual biology shapes your cholesterol and your response to dietary changes.
Building personalised strategies around the root causes of your results – not just the numbers.
Supporting people currently on statins who want to do the deeper work alongside their medication.
Supporting those who want to avoid statins and need to know what’s genuinely worth doing for their specific biology.

The webinar gives you the foundation. If you want to go further, we’re ready when you are.
