The Cholesterol Protocol is our mission.

But it's also a mission: to help as many people as possible to lower their risk of cardiovascular disease through healthy diet and lifestyle changes. High cholesterol is a leading cause of the millions of cases of limb loss, strokes, heart attacks and deaths each year - often with little to no warning. All we're trying to do is reduce that number in any way we can. 

As such, we endeavour to keep prices low in order to make The Cholesterol Protocol as accessible to as many people as possible. We don't believe health education should be cost-prohibitive. We don't employ expensive marketing campaigns, in fact we rely mostly on word of mouth. We are a small team and re-invest as much of the proceeds as possible into maintaining and developing the website, keeping abreast of the latest guidelines and research and searching for new and exciting strategies to lower cholesterol. Oh, and adding to our growing recipe bank of delicious meals and snacks. 

Our aim is that one day, not too far from now, you'll be so happy with everything you've  learned from The Cholesterol Protocol that you'll be out there spreading the word too!
