Leading Expert Reveals the Real Cost of Taking Statins
(and Whether it’s Too High)

More Americans will die of heart disease than any other cause. It cuts across ages and ethnic groups, killing thousands each year. Statins, medicines designed to lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease, are taken by one in four Americans over the age of 45—and growing. Lauded as a miracle medicine, America’s most prescribed drug appears to offer a simple way to ward off disease. But are they as harmless as they appear?

Medical expert Mark Estren, Ph.D. challenges the conventional wisdom that Statins should be the first line of defense against heart disease. He breaks down the potential risks of continued Statin use, and reveals how, like all medicines, Statins do more to the body than they are designed for. Dr. Estren will give potentially life-saving advice to listeners looking to begin a heart-healthy lifestyle, all while giving informed, measured commentary on where our growing Statin dependence is taking us.

Invite Dr. Estren on your show to discuss:

*Why Statin use has become so popular and widespread, and what approaches patients should use first to decrease heart problems.

*Whether you should continue Statin use after a heart attack.

*Why Statins may cause diabetes in post-menopausal women—regardless of how high or low the dosage.

*Tips on remaining vigilant while using Statins, and important signs that you should stop.
