The Gary Null Show - 4-23-26

About this episode

The episode discusses the rare allergic reactions to statins and the more common issue of statin intolerance linked to genetic and biochemical factors.

Statin allergic reactions are rare but do occur. More common is a condition called “statin intolerance”, which can be due to other biochemical reactions or genetic factors. It is known that certain genes, notably the SLCO1B1 gene, which is involved in the liver’s uptake of statin drugs, plays a role in statin-muscle complications and muscle pain. Also, people suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, hypothyroidism, or liver or kidney impairment are more susceptible to statins’ adverse reactions.
