David Boyle's Cholesterol Wake-Up Call: A Sobriety Story

Don't take the words of fucking doctors just on face value, because they're fucking doctors, fucking. Have a look around yourself, because all they're going on is their dodgy fucking memory, and most of them probably just scrape through as well.
Ever wondered how sobriety can impact your health in unexpected ways? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle shares a surprising twist in his journey to better health. Just as he wrapped up recording his podcast, Boyle's wife delivered some shocking news: his cholesterol levels were through the roof. Despite his healthy diet and regular exercise, Boyle found himself grappling with this alarming revelation.
Boyle dives into his initial disbelief and the subsequent steps he took to understand what was really going on inside his body. He didn't just accept the diagnosis at face value; instead, he embarked on a quest to learn about the different types of cholesterol and their effects on health. Through his research, Boyle discovered that not all cholesterol is created equal and that high triglycerides are the real culprits behind heart disease.
In his signature candid style, Boyle discusses the importance of questioning medical advice and doing your own research to make informed health decisions. His journey is a testament to the power of sobriety, not just in overcoming addiction but in becoming more attuned to one's own body and well-being. This episode is packed with valuable insights and a good dose of humor, making it both informative and entertaining.
Boyle's raw honesty and wit shine through as he challenges common health misconceptions and inspires listeners to take control of their own health journeys. If you're looking for a mix of laughter and life lessons, this episode is a must-listen.
