This video was quite informative. Thank you. I was diagnosed Type 2 in 2008. After years of moderate success and setbacks, I am on the right path. My a1c is at 6.2 (down from 14.4 in June, 2023). My LDL is 55, triglycerides, 51 and HDL, 45. My LPa is 79. Recently had an echo, my cardiologist was happy with the results. However, I suffer from high blood pressure, which is managed with Losartan Potassium (100mg) and Amlodipine (10mg). What kind of healthy foods can I add to my diet to help lower my LPa?

I really appreciate Dr Dayspring’s clear and effective communication of reliable information and science about atherosclerosis. I feel like I finally understand the risk factors and healthful targets for my LDL and triglyceride levels as well as non HDL and apo a levels! Thank you, Dr Dayspring!

why would you want to lower your cholesetrol - heart attacks???

Thank you doc, truy helpful, found you through your blog 🙏🏼

useful talk

My Lpa was 240!!! LDL is 196 HDL 106 Tri 67 BP normal A1C 5.7 (elevated) Glucose 93 CT calcium heart scan score 0 plaque. I'm waiting for LipoB results. I schooled my Dr.to auth these tests. I eat extremely healthy, no seed oils, low carbs, exercise daily, pasture raised organic everything... 61 124 5'2 post menopause no HRT high stress. I'm shocked and am amazed and concerned. I heard Niacin is effective but just heard you say no.

SO glad i found you!

What is the recommended daily allowance for saturated fat for elevated Lp(a)?

The average LDL cholesterol level of a centenarian without medications is about 110 mg/dL which means in mid life it was a little higher. There are no long lived healthy populations or centenarians that have LDL cholesterol levels under 90 mg/dL except for a few anomalies.

The last thing you want to do is tamper or lower your Lp(a) levels which are in your genetics to live a long healthy life. "Remarkably, one-quarter of the centenarians had high Lp(a) serum levels even though they never suffered from atherosclerosis-related diseases." 1998 G. Baggio. Low levels of Lipoprotein(a) can destroy your health. 2012 article title: Low Lipoprotein(a) Concentration Is Associated with Cancer and All-Cause Deaths: A Population-Based Cohort Study (The JMS Cohort Study).

I have APO.A and APO.B in range but the LPA in 38mg can l help me whit some opinion?

I just got mine done and LPa was 191 others are slightly elevated by a point or so but I am diabetic and I don’t have complications from diabetes but likely insulin resistance. I don’t really want a statin so I’m trying to see if I can get it down naturally. Is that possible

Love Dr. dayspring. He has such pasión for his field!

Is eating an egg (boiled or scrambled) daily just a myth for those having Afib.

27 had chest pain for years no job etc, 800 IU without oil significantly reduced my chest pain, but a no oil, no nut john McDougall diet actually eliminated my pain.

Great video! Kudos to you and your guest. 👏👍

My doctors refused to test

What he's saying isn't consistent with what I observe in my patients. Most of those with heart attacks and strokes have LDL less than 100, and those on statins who's LDL have dropped as low as 30s to 50s seem to get recurrent strokes and heart attacks.

I have been advised Inclisiran for elevated Lipoprotein A. How effective is it?

WHAT DOES DR DAYSPRING EAT???

I found out I have Lp on 300 , my cholesterol score is 4,2, b.sugar 4.1 , everything else was perfect, only thet lipoprotein . I cut out red meat and Idint use seed oils at all (few years) , not drinking, no smoking ,never. Running, lifting ,mtb ,mountaineering is my lifestile, have u somthing more to recommended to me? 😅 thx

Any chance you have a better mic? The volume is always so low. I have to use my desktop with external speakers to hear ya. :)

Do you have a video or blog posts that sums up all the values and where they should be....

This is all good advice. I would comment that some patients have a genetic predisposition to heart disease, without showing any of those risk factors. I am one. Early death from heart disease runs in my father's side of the family. At age 46 I requested a CAC test, and had a score > 1000. I was told my numerous primary care doctors and cardiologists up until that point that all looked good. None of them tested Lp(a), which I had to test on my own (after starting statin therapy). I have tested it 4 times so far, with results ranging from normal (74 nmol/L) to slightly elevated (123nmol/L). Lp(a) wasn't tested during my father's lifetime, but his LDL-C was normal. My main point is if heart disease runs in your family, don't rely on blood tests alone. Get a CAC and/or CIMT at age 40 or younger. Treat Apo(B) aggressively.

Im surprised the Dr hasn't mentioned the combination of choline m/inositol.

Can you discuss low blood pressure? How does a patient know how low is too low? There seems to be no well defined cut point.

I feel like you are handed a death sentence with this - incredibly stressful - don't smoke, don't drink try to be healthy as well having an autoimmune to tackle i have been told I have a lipoprotein score of over 1500 plus overall cholesterol score of 6.4 - Dr then says, i am begging you to go on a statin! The frustrating thing about this is there is nothing that can be done - a statin prolong your life for just a month - just need to embrace each day.

Most Westerners don’t like the taste of natto, but if you do, you can make it at home. Similar fermentation process to yogurt.

Any literature on excessive vitamin-E from dietary sources? I get several times the USRDA of vitamin-E everyday and don’t take supplements.

i lost over 20% of my weight without even trying. And i wasn’t overweight. It’s easy with proper diet.

I've tested my Lp(a) 3 times. I have to order it myself since primary care has no idea what Lp(a) or Apo(B) is. I've gotten 76, 109, and 123 nmol/L. I remain unconvinced that Lp(a) is a once in a lifetime test and cannot be influenced by nutrition profile.

Thank you so much for your videos. I just stumbled upon them from watching the plant based kidney dietician. You both are doing such an amazing service to the public. I was diagnosed with diabetes 12 years ago (also have hypertension for many years) and advice from physicians was to lose weight but NEVER mentioned the damage that can be done to the kidneys and vascular system. The only reason I found out recently is bc my Sister-in law was diagnosed with CKD 3B and I asked what was the reason she said hypertension and I started researching and found out diabetes is also major cause of CKD and it is non-reversible once you get it. I do not understand why I was never given this information-baffling bc information is power. Glad I have it now to hopefully stave off the disease. Thanks again for what you do bc also found out that diabetes is a major risk for cv issues. I know physicians do not have a lot of time but I absolutely would have listened but never getting the information is just again baffling that this is never discussed with patients that you will ruin your kidneys and vascular health it was take this pill and you prob will need insulin as you age-thank goodness I have been able to stay with metformin. My new mission in life is to reverse this now that I know you can. Thanks for spreading the word!!!!

I’m so happy to have found this video, I’ve been following Dr. Hashmi and Michelle Crosmer for a couple months due to my worsening Lupus Nephritis, but since (for the first time) I’m also dealing with high BP and LDL levels this came at the perfect time. Thank you, I just subscribed!

my understanding is you can't change your CAC score via lifestyle changes

6:08 gave it a 👍 for this very reasonable response!

My husband has been diagnosed with CHF, he’s know for years but in the last month even with edema in legs/feet/stomach he has lost 12% of his body weight. I am in Canada and 1 of the worst healthcare in the world, years to see specialist/testing. I know the prognosis is 3-18 months. He has stopped taking his diuretics and high blood pressure as it caused his gout to go nuts, So my questions is… What can I do to make his last months comfortable as he isn’t eating much and drinks less than 2 cups of liquids a day?

❤ thank you very much , Dr.Dayspring!😊❤

3:18 don't get more than 500 mg of calcium at once. calcium supplements are fine [but wait, what about the risk of nanoparticles in calcium carbonate?. oh, i just had a chat with gpt 4 on the topic, and it said "DIETARY sources of calcium do not typically cause hypercalcemia (excess calcium in the blood), a risk factor for arterial calcification". i think that's important to specify: the 500 mg threshold only applies to supplements. so i guess i can keep drinking my 500 ml of fat-free milk for dinner, even though it gives me 600 mg of calcium].

Mam I m in 8th month pregnancy ,very high lipid profile total cholestrol 397 Ldl 263😢😢😢😢😢 I m worried plz help

I have heart failure and I have the opposite of cachexia, dry, always hungry, gaining ( non fluid) weight. But my docs say I should not actively be trying to lose weight.

So, the ApoB particles decide to commit "suicide" and hit artery walls once they realize that there are too many of them? That makes absolutely no sense to me. If the particle had the ability to enter the walls, everybody would accumulate plaque. Some particles would enter, the others don't. The more particles the more plaque. I have not heard any explanation how this magical threshold works that makes the particles misbehave. What is the physiological mechanism and cause for that, besides inflammation - which Dr. Dayspring rigorously brushed off in another video.

My problem with experts is that they don't see the bigger picture. They are entrenched in their expertise. So, are there big ApoB LDLs that are actually "good"? If there are (and I'm sure of it) - then maybe a high non-HDL cholesterol can be extremely healthy in such a person ? What about the long term harmful side effects of Statins? Do they accelerate dementia? Do they promote insulin resistance ? Myopathy - the heart is sort of a muscle as well... What if the person has no inflammation (as in, chronic) and a low blood pressure ? Do you really need statins if you have big ApoB LDLs that are protective and not atherogenic, have low BP and no inflammation? Lowering non-HDL per say is a questionable goal when out of context !!! In my opinion interviewing one person, an expert, is missing the point. If you're lucky, you get a piece of the puzzle right. We need a panel of experts from different expertise to tackle a subject from as many angles as possible. Sometimes halves truths can have a negative end effect.

What is the name of test for. Inflammation of cardiovascular?

The virus is in the foam cells. That is why immune attack it. Virus cannot be killed.????

Thank you . I just found out I have a little bit fatty liver. The dot told me to do more exercise but now I know the diet is important too.

Are there any medicines we can give so he feels more hungry or any alter treatment?

Hi mam my grandfather is suffering from heart failure and feeling extremely weak all symptoms relate to cardiac cachexia , what supplements can we give but he is also suffering from kidney disease so i guess protein powder will damage kidneys..

Really useful lecture. I was able to compare what was said with my lipid panel.

Hi mam, I was watching videos on TH-cam when I saw your channel. I really like your video content. But as a TH-cam expert, I noticed one thing: your video views are getting fewer and fewer. Later I researched your channel and I saw your video SEO score is (28% Out of 100). Your video found that SEO optimization is not done in your videos due to which your videos are not going to your targeted people, your videos are getting fewer views and channel subscribers are getting fewer. I can say as a TH-cam expert if you can do channel and video SEO-friendly things like tag, hashtag, description, and keyword research then your TH-cam channel and video will grow fast. And If you want, I can do it I Can Guarantee to improve Subscriber and video views on any TH-cam channel with my experience I am waiting for your response I think your TH-cam channel will make your dream come true. Thank you"
