Today we’re going to talk about cholesterol, and I want to cover the seven foods that lower bad cholesterol.

HDL is considered good cholesterol, and LDL is considered bad cholesterol. But, there are two types of LDL. The real villain when it comes to cholesterol and heart problems is a very specific type of LDL.

To measure this type of LDL, you have to ask for a test called an advanced lipid profile test. With this test, they’re looking at the number and size of the particles that carry cholesterol.

The two types, or particle sizes, of LDL, are:
1. The large buoyant (pattern A)
2. The small dense (pattern B)

The small dense LDL particles are the ones you have to be concerned about because they can penetrate the arteries, even though the large buoyant type carries more cholesterol. Small dense LDL is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.

This topic can be confusing because some people have low LDL cholesterol but a high number of small dense particles. Others have high LDL with a high number of large buoyant particles. This is why it’s so important to get an advanced lipid profile test, so you have the whole picture of what’s going on.

Top foods that lower bad cholesterol (small dense LDL):
1. Extra virgin olive oil
2. Avocados
3. Fish oils or cod liver oil
4. Pistachios
5. Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
6. Almonds
7. Walnuts

Other things you can do to lower cholesterol naturally:
• Take vitamin B3 (niacin)
• Exercise
• Take TUDCA

Thanks again Dr. B!!!
This is something a girlfriend (She is a Doctor) told me about decades ago and every one I shared it with thought she was nuts because the mainstream medical establishment definitely wasn’t saying it.
I love how you share these amazing truths about our health. ❤

What might be helpful is to have a list of the foods that cause the bad LDL.

[KevinProut]

I lowered my cholesterol levels with Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet. Currently my cholesterol levels are :
Total cholesterol = 136
Tryglyceride = 73
HDL = 55
LDL = 66
I followed Dr. Eric Berg's instructions, and after 3 months of Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet I managed my cholesterol and sugar levels.

[Joe-nxnj]

Super fit, my ldl was 150 and total chloestrol was 205. Doctor immediately wanted to put me on meds. No other issues

[jenniferh]

My cardiologist has been in practice for 50 years- I recently asked him to test for my low density LDL, he just shook his head and said "yes, we're looking at your LDL", referring to my total LDL. These doctors are so intractable. Smh

[samosua]

Thank you doc. My primary doctor never goes into detail on all the dynamics cholesterol issues.

[markridgemr]

After intermittent fasting (18/6) for 2 months and strength training for 3 months: I ditched the cardio for now so I could compare.
My LDL is 174,
My VLDL is 15
Trigylc is 86 (best ever)
HDL is 51
Total Cholest is 240
Glucose is 88 (usually high 90's low 100's)
I take Vascepa and Zetia

I needed this I went to my doctor office yesterday and they told me I have high cholesterol

[NeutronRob]

I learned more in this video what good vs bad cholesterol means and how they are different than from what I learned from my own physician over the years.

[doraKitty]

My cholestrol is high 268, after in keto 9 month (lost 9 kg i am 45 kg now with flat tummy😻), now i follow this advice:
i buy B3 niacin & nuts: pistachio, walnut, almond & drink more almond milk, eat sarden with eXtra virgin olive oil, eat avocado with dark choco & beet every week, regularly eat more fermented food, eXercise 20-45 minute almost every morning with sunbath, i hope after 3 month it could lower my cholestrol!

If you're worried about LDL, you probably want to look up the videos by Doctor David Diamond, a cardiologist. It's mostly bunk unless you have a specific genotype. If anything, you might want to look at Lipoprotein (a), HDL, and LDL-P (as Dr Berg indicated.) What most keto dieters see is their HDL rising, which is good, and triglycerides falling, which is also good. 

LDL can vary in either direction for people on keto. I was a couple weeks fasted when I got my panel once, and my LDL was over 200, which concerned my (non-keto-friendly) doctor. I had watch some Dave Feldman videos (Cholesterol Code guy) to find out why. I implemented the Feldman Protocol next time, and my doctor was happy. Then I told him how I crammed for his test and fired him. I now have a respected keto doctor.

My doc's office is struggling to understand why my LDL is so high yet my triglycerides are in well within normal range. they recommend "less fat, more fiber". I told them they should test for small dense and large buoyant LDLs and still just got a response back of, "start on a low fat, high fiber diet". that IS my diet, has been for years lol.

[jca]

Dear Dr. Berg, since June 22 I'm following your recommendations for intermittent fasting (now reaching an alternant OMAD) with low carb / Keto diet and I lost almost 10 KGs (I'm 1.75 m) . Many thanks for opening me the eyes....
All the best for you from Switzerland
