[00:00:00]Cholesterol is the raw material for all steroid hormones including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and eldoststerone. When cholesterol is low, the body struggles to produce and regulate hormones appropriately. In kids and teens, this can contribute to mood swings, anxiety, dysmenora, irregular cycles, early or delayed puberty, and poor stress tolerance. In adults, we often see PMS, pmenopause and menopause issues, fatigue, and emotional liability. You cannot maintain stable hormone levels without adequate cholesterol. The immune system relies on cholesterol for cell membrane integrity, receptor function, signaling, and pathways. Low cholesterol is frequently associated with chronic infections, immune disysregulation, autoimmune patterns, and poor recovery from illness. In our pans, pandas, and autoimmune population, low cholesterol is often a contributing vulnerability, not an incidental finding.
