Read the book. It says exactly the opposite. This short video is a lie.

Can you be more specific? What part?

@@christianhealthylifestyle 1) Oreo cookies (carbs) lower LDL cholesterol better than statin medicine for a unique group of people who are unusually trim and are on a keto (low carb) diet. Since we all agree that eating Oreo cookies is not healthy, your argue that lowering LDL cholesterol might not be a good thing. If you can't see the illogicality of that inference, there's nothing more I can say. 2) A study showed that 75% of patients hospitalized for a heart attach had LDL cholesterol levels below current national guidelines. So you ask, "Why do people with low cholesterol have more heart attacks then people with high cholesterol?"" They don't! Read the article. It's point is that the _guidelines themselves_ are not low enough! But I will give you one thing, I had not seen this UCLA article. While my cholesterol levels are within those "guidelines," now I'm going to give that a second look. Either you are not understanding what you're reading or you're just misrepresenting it. The Bible _will_ do that to a person. Truth becomes whatever you want to make it.

@@workingTchr Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Regarding your first point, I didn't suggest that (carbs) lower cholesterol. Consuming more seed oils lowers cholesterol. I can see that you've bought into the lipid hypothesis as put forth by Ancel Keys in his 7 Countries study. This study is the bedrock of mainstream recommendations to lower saturated fat consumption and replace that fat with seed oils. Please watch part 2 of this discussion - episode 143 where I break down the flaws in that research. Saturated fat is not the problem, it's seed oils that are unhealthy for human consumption. Regarding your second point, the UCLA article says that the majority of people (75%) hospitalized for heart attacks have cholesterol that is within the current guidelines of 100mg/dl or lower. If these levels would not cause your doctor to have any cause for concern, wouldn't you say that is "low cholesterol"? Yes, they do recommend lowering the cholesterol guidelines. I can't repeat every point made in each article I cite. That would make my videos much too long. The major point I am making by citing this article is that by believing that LDL cholesterol alone causes atherosclerosis these researchers come to the wrong conclusion and continue with their failed recommendations to lower cholesterol even further. The fact that people with lower cholesterol have more heart attacks and have higher all-cause mortality should serve as a wake-up call and cause them to take a closer look at their presuppositions about the nature of cholesterol. They should be questioning why a protein foundational to the functioning of so many vital bodily processes such as cell membrane rigidity, proper nervous system function, the precursor to all the major steroidal hormones, efficient digestions, etc. is still considered the enemy. In a metabolically unhealthy person, high cholesterol is not the problem, it's a symptom of being in an unhealthy state. I'm not sure why you bring The Bible into this discussion. However, I operate from the standpoint that food created by God in nature is healthier for us than food made by man in a laboratory. In addition, we do well to study our body's God-given design and cooperate with it, rather than trying to outsmart our design or biohack our way to good health.

​@@christianhealthylifestyle On second reading, I can see your point although I think we'd disagree on much of it.

@@workingTchr That's okay. I know this message is not mainstream. However, I'm a pursuer of truth and enjoy finding truth nuggets others may have overlooked.

So true.. Thank you for pointing that out.

You are absolutely correct. I couldn't agree more. Next week on the 22nd I'll be talking more about how the failed lipid hypothesis became medical dogma.

You're welcome. Look for another episode on fats and oils dropping next week on the 22nd.

Hi Miraak, I'm super happy that you're reaping the benefits of taking control of your eating...Congrats. Full carnivore can mess with your hormones. Keep an eye on your testosterone and cortisol levels, especially post-exercise. Check out this study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35254136/

I believe genetics do play a role in what foods work best for the individual. However, the conclusions I put forth in this episode are a good place for anyone to start.

You are correct. We've got to be careful, especially in restaurants. Servers quite often don't know if the fish is farm-raised or not.

Great. Sounds like you've really got your eating dialed in.

Carnivore can have a short-term therapeutic effect. But, I don't believe 0-carb is the healthiest way to go long term.

I have done research, and in this video as well as a follow-up video that will post on April 17, 2024, I am not advocating a plant-based diet.

@@christianhealthylifestyle ok

Kids tend to tolerate the cold better than adults. It seems unusual that your 7-year old prefers heat. However, everyone is an individual and those differences should be respected.

@@christianhealthylifestyle It is a bit odd. Thanks for your response!

Everyone is an individual. Do what works for you. Good for you that you figured this out.

I would agree. Treating people kindly with love is what people expect because it's the right thing to do. This should be the norm. Sadly, often it's not.

Thank you for putting such a useful tool together.

Yes. However, Matt is advocating using them in supervised environment with a trained professional.

Thank you.

My guest was not advocating cheating on your spouse. The point he was making is men should be taking more responsibility for conflict in their relationships and stop making excuses for their failures.

@@christianhealthylifestyle Which is good, but why should anyone accept a cheater? If someone is willing to cheat once, it's a matter of time before they do so again. I wouldn't put up with a cheater, why would I think my partner should? There are too many diseases out there to put up with a cheater. It isn't worth contracting a disease from an unfaithful spouse for some archaic practice.

So glad it was helpful!

Funny, I haven't come across the passage in The Bible that teaches blood letting. Do you have a reference for me?

@@christianhealthylifestyle I never said it was in the Bible. I used that as an example of how people over time have learned more about the world we live in. Blood letting was common throughout the times though. It was something that those people believed worked. Out of all my points, it’s funny how instead of addressing any of them, you choose to try to poke holes and pull a gotcha. It seems that to you(and many religious people) it’s better to stay wrong and ignorant, than to adjust and change overtime as we gain new knowledge. Because you for some reason believe “Oh they’re always changing them, so how can we trust them? Let’s just do the same old things that haven’t changed or adapted to our understanding of the modern world!” And I want to make it clear that while they did believe in blood letting and other ridiculous things to help the sick and injured, they weren’t stupid. There are some discoveries made during their time that they were quick to adopt. Yet for some reason people in 2022 don’t.

I don't understand

I didn't say it was wrong. I pointed out that there is a better approach than simply avoiding germs. Supporting our body's natural defenses should be our first line of defense.

Thank you. I will.

You got it Jeff. There’s a lot more where that came from.
