Cholesterol, what is its deal?

when i decided to stop eating meats and limit dairy, (call me stupid) but i eventually learned cholesterol is in 2 sources
1)people
2)animals
Okay
so, then it was clear if my food has no animal products then it has no cholesterol and vice versa

now, on the news they are still bringing up Trans Fat (so 5mins ago,lol)
they said, it increases bad cholesterol
and decreases "good cholesterol"
Good??

what’s up with that

bonus question
what exactly is protein?

Thyroid health?

I have read that iodine is good for maintaining a healthy thyroid but I have had an allergic reaction to iodine about three year ago. Of course, eating well and having some kind of exercise is essential for overall health but I just want to know if there is anything else I can or should be doing to take care of my thyroid. Any helpful info?

irregular period..natural remedies?

I am wanting to know if there are any natural remedies for regulating an irregular period ?
…I know I am not pregnant (via blood test) and I know that my irregularness is due to getting off of the Depo-provera shot about 8months ago, but for the past 2 months I have had a 3-4day period followed by 7-9 days of no period and then the cycle is repeated –hence 4 periods in 2 months. I just want o know if there are any natural suppliments or specific foods that I can take/eat to help regulate my hormones , and therefore my period. I do have access to a few health food stores, so any suggestions are welcome!!
I don’t really want to use things like BC pills since they contain artifical hormones …basically what I’m trying to rid my body of
I’ve been thinking about probotics supliments which will help for colon and digestive systems cleansing ..thanks
I am no longer experienceing amenorrhoea that was while I was on the depo shot and the first 6 months off now I am having a period 7-9 days after finishing one basically a new period every week and a half
