Obsession with biomarkers also causes stress which negatively affects our health.

Dr Nadir Ali refers to LDL as "the other good cholesterol!" Certainty worth a listen. Top guy.

[fritz]

Your LDL is where it is because that's where the body wants it to be. Messing around with statins that artificially lower it is asking for trouble.

Interesting! I have had asthma, literally everyday of my life! I'm 67 years old and have been hospitalized and spent much of my youth in emergency rooms!
I've been on steroid inhaler for years which helped me, but since I went keto/carnivore about 18 months ago and I have cut way down on medications and even forget to take it!! I am LMHR, lDl is 267! I feel great!!

[Aurora-zylq]

My doctor is concerned because my recent test showed cholesterol 247 and LDL is 163. But my Triglyceride is 49 and HDL is 74. For a year now I have been careful with my diet. I only use avocado oil, EVO oil, and grassfed butter, no seed oil/vegetable oil. I also do low carb diet and IF. I have lost 30 lbs since.

Your presentation style--in which you jump right into relevant data and keep the flow of information coming---is a terrific format that facilitates focus and learning. (This is in contrast to a slow or rambling style that can make it harder for a listener to stay focused. With that style my mind can get bored and wander onto other things.) So thank you for all your concise presentations of fascinating and important information! It's a joy to click on your video links!

[LatimusChadimus]

I would rather be in the appropriate range of cholesterol then that of what the doctors strive for which seems to be around 1/3rd of where it should be

[CounsoleIsDead]

Just did blood work I’m 30 years old eat very clean work out consistently no smoking or alcohol ever my LDL is 200s and my doctor wants me to see cardiologist and possibly get on meds for it this has me paranoid and anxious about my health but informative videos like this are helping a ton

[rutledgemcmillin]

Love you Mike. When I went keto I instantly discovered what excessive carbohydrate ingestion had been doing to me all those years. It's a revelation. It's nice to see what I know to be true gaining momentum. It hurts me to see people suffering from afflictions we now know how to cure, still eating the cause every single day, constantly topping up their sugar, never healing. Sometimes I try to tell people, but the errant dogma of the past 60 years is so entrenched, I don't find much success. Thanks for what you do.

[UrsulaPowers]

The more I watch this your YT channel, the more I appreciate you. Thank you for covering all of these new studies. If it weren’t for you, I’d never know there is data out there that challenges Big Pharma on LDL, etc.

[jjacoby]

Absolutely love your format -- right duration, fact based, and articulate

[Flembgemb]

Not directly related to this video but sometimes people don't respond to older videos as much. You had a video a little while about Testosterone Tanking Chemicals. I have been thinking about that one for a while now and want to start getting away from some of the stuff I am using but I guess finding a replacement isn't always easy either. If you are looking for video ideas I think one that would be helpful for your viewers would be substitutes for their current cleaners. There are so many brands out there it would probably just be easier to do what you use in your life and why and what to look for. I know that's getting semi-personal so I could understand why you might not want to do that but it would give people a great baseline to start their changes from and go from there. I really appreciate all the information you are putting out there about functional medicine.

[grochef]

Thank you for your work to bring these studies to us! I workout 3xper week, my BMI is 23 (but I am muscular), and I am 65 year old. My LDL is 163 and the morons with diplomas want me on statins. Ever since the food pyramid was introduced in the late 70's, we have been getting sicker and fatter. Yet, the medical industry makes more profits every year. They are failing us!! If they knew what they were doing, we would be getting more healthy. If you break a bone, go to doctor. Hopefully, they will know what a bone is... Otherwise, eat healthy, whole foods, exercise and practice good sleep hygiene and you will be just fine.

Love your work, Doctor! You were one of the few Loan brave voices during the hysteria of the jab you event, and I am eternally grateful to you for your work, and for the great spirit that you use when you try to teach us things and I totally agree with you.have a good day, sir bye

[tomandersen]

As a LMHR I love this - it´s hard to go against your MD and mainstream and studies like this makes it easier! Thank you for sharing those studies! I just got a CAC-score of 71 and decided to wait a year or two to get a new scanning before changing my low carb/ keto/ IF lifestyle for 7 years Formerto that I have metabolic syndrome and former smoker too :)

[kennethh]

I am almost 65. Have high HDL, Low triglycerides, High LDL. Also had a high CAC score. Workout consistently my whole life, had a nuclear stress test, passed with flying colors, no blockages, they had a hard time getting my heart rate up high enough. I had to jog on a incline. I eat low carb, also I don't drink anything but mineral water or regular water. Very little alcohol, because I know it's a poison. Anyway, I feel great, I refused my doctor statin drugs. I am going to roll the dice. My main health goal is lowering my HBA1C. Statins to me, have to many downstream side effects. Including raising your chances of getting type 2 diabetes by 70%.

Thank you for this video. My doctor tried to put me on a statin because my LDL is high, 200, and they are the buoyant particales, but my hdl is golden and tri’s are super in a fasted state and after eating. I eat a high fat diet- meat, olive oil, coconut, no seed or vegetable oils, whole food based diet- no grains. I run ultramarathons- and even with all that she still thought a statin needs to be employed.
I’m seriously losing trust in the medical system in general as they seem to seek the patients addiction to drugs rather than their addiction to eating well and exercising. It’s dangerous out there.

In her book, Good Energy, Dr. Casey Means tells us that there are two types of LDL. Type-A and Type-B. Type-A accounts for 80 % of total LDL. Type-A fluctuates easily from dietary fat intake (meat, full fat dairy, etc.). Type-B is produced by sugar intake. Statins lower only Type-A LDL which can be easily lowered by diet. Statins do not lower Type-B LDL. And it is the Type-B LDL which accumulates inside our blood vessels. Statins can dramatically lower total LDL because they work on the 80% of LDL (Type-A), but you need to lower the 20% one (Type-B) by cutting added-sugar foods from your daily diet. The 1990s US food pyramid failed (miserably) because it did not distinguish disaccharides from polysaccharides.

Thank you for the great info. LMHR with LDL 198, HDL 120, Tri 57, BMI 16.5. My doctor refuse to check my other markers unless I take Lipitor 😢. I think I need a new doctor😅
