Do Cholesterol Meds Cause Dementia? | The Truth, Straight from a Harvard Cardiologist

Have you ever hesitated to take a cholesterol-lowering medication because you feared it might cause memory loss or dementia? You're not alone—and this episode tackles that fear head-on. JD Enright sits down with Harvard-trained cardiologist and lipidologist Dr. John Osborne to set the record straight.

This episode clears up one of the most common—and dangerous—myths in modern heart health: that statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs harm brain function. Backed by over 40 years of research and real-world patient data, Dr. Osborne gives you the facts that could protect your brain and your heart.

This episode is perfect for:

Patients taking or considering statins or other cholesterol-lowering meds

People with a family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s

Anyone trying to separate fact from fiction in heart and brain health

Why your brain makes its own cholesterol—and why statins don’t interfere with it

How lowering cholesterol can actually prevent certain types of dementia

What cholesterol really is and how your body processes it

Why statins are among the most researched—and safest—medications in history

Power Of Prevention
Hosted by ClearCardio
Welcome to Clear Cardio – the future of heart health.

Heart attacks and strokes often strike without warning. Traditional tests like stress tests and heart catheterizations, developed over 68 years ago, only detect problems when arteries are 70% blocked, missing the silent plaque that causes sudden heart attacks.

Led by Harvard-trained cardiologist Dr. John Osborne, Clear Cardio uses AI-powered imaging to detect arterial plaque decades before symptoms appear. Unlike the traditional system, which profits from expensive emergency procedures, we focus on prevention—helping you avoid heart attacks before they happen.

Our non-invasive technology reveals what other tests miss, empowering you to take control of your heart health. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
