Today we're going to talk about good and bad LDL cholesterol. 

People are typically taught that LDL is the bad cholesterol. But that's not actually true. LDL actually stands for low density lipoprotein. It's not cholesterol. It's a type of protein that carries cholesterol through the body from the liver to the tissues. HDL takes the cholesterol from the tissues and brings it back to the liver. 

The two types of LDL: 

sdLDL-P
• This is type B.
• This is the bad type.
• The LDL is a smaller dense type.
• It can invade the arteries deep into the tissues and create problems. 
• It has oxidized cholesterol that can increase your risk of heart attack by 4x.
• This is the type you normally see with a diabetic because it comes from a high carb diet. 
• It also comes from high amounts of fructose. Fructose can create more of this than glucose. 

ibLDL-P
• This is type A.
• This is the good type.
• The LDL is a large buoyant type.
• This is the type you normally see with a keto diet because it's a high-fat diet.
• When you do ketosis and intermittent fasting, you're releasing fat and cholesterol from the fat cells. You need these LDL carriers to transport the cholesterol to different places.

The other thing to look at is the triglycerides. You want your triglycerides to be low, and you'll usually see them low if you're doing keto and intermittent fasting. You will also want your HDL higher. If you're on keto, you might see that you're ibLDL-P is high, but your sdLDL-P is normal or on the low side.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the patient (US) knows more about health than their Medical Doctor! It's even worse when the MD insists on remaining ignorant!!

To test for this specific data request: ADVANCED LIPID TESTING

Both combined equals physicians out there 💓💓

As always, you explain things in such a simple, easy to understand way. Thank you for continuing to educate the people! It's such a shame that so many MD's still don't understand this information. Or, do they understand but, continue grouping both A & B LDL cholesterol as bad so they can continue writing prescriptions to less knowledgeable people for profit?

[bahiegypte]

Dr. Berg, Just wanna say "thank you for all the information you give us". I'm an Egyptian who can't stop following you & watching all your videos.

Finally. Thank you!   The BAD sd-LDL form when Triglycerides are above 75. Just in case anyone wanted to know.

Good stuff Dr. Berg ! 🙌🏾 This possibly explains why my LDL and total cholesterol went up after I had been doing keto and IF ! My triglycerides were low. In 4 mos. after stopping Keto and just doing low carb w low saturated fats, it drastically went down ! I'm going to discuss this with my PCP. Thanks for this great info Doc ! 🥇🙂

[zix]

This is one of Dr. Bergs BEST Videos! Excellent explanation of "BAD" LDL Cholesterol. I asked my doctor about this and they don't even know about this. Misinformed!!

[alidaschnell]

Thank you so much Dr. Berg for educating America on all types of health issues! You are saving hundreds of lives every day by teaching us about how our bodies really work and about the things that causes harm to our bodies! We can never thank you enough! ❤️

[fiberbeads]

I know this. I wish my Dr. knew this. And she's internal medicine for God's sake! When will the medical community wake up?

[dyahviona]

[vanyatripathi]

[ButterflyVan]

Omg this is a good video to watch often to remember the correct response for my Dr!!!! My Drs confuses me but you explain things perfect, thank you 💞. Also you look

[rajaadawood]

This is great informations about LDL HDL and triglycerides👍💚 you are right Dr. Berg that we’ve been brainwashed 😏, but not anymore thanks to your hard work 🙏🌹🌿❤️

[teddybear]

Dr Berg... Can you start a School for Doctors_ They definitely need a wake up call to prevent us poor patients looking to them for help, when they need help themselves... Thats not meant to be an insult but you and other doctors with the same view, really need to spread the word to new and well established doctors who are giving us the wrong information...
People are thanking you for your information by the dozens but it shouldn't be up to a total stranger to tell us what we should be eating and what is happening to our bodies... Why is there such mis-information with our doctors...
Big Pharma???
I am going to say it.... Thank you Dr. Berg !!!

[australiankaleidoscope]

Thank you Dc. Berg from the bottom of my heart for this topic!

[DannyCocke]

Will you please do a video about FH? Familial Hyperlipidemia? I have this gene and have struggled with my bad LDL despite being on a ketogenic diet and IF religiously. Thanks!

So great to know!!!! I’ve been on the Ketogenic for a year, I’m down 43 lbs. Now I know what to look for when I get my labs done.
