Statin is a medication to lower your cholesterol. This medication works by blocking a substance in your system that it needs to make cholesterol.
Based on 2018 statistics, over 35 million Americans are prescribed statins. There are other drugs that many diabetics are prescribed that also increase your chances of getting diabetes or make things worse.
I do not want anyone running home and throwing away their statin medication. That's not what this episode is about....but it's for raising awareness and letting you know that, lifestyle changes can make a huge impact on your health and your quality of life.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
