I'm a "cholesterol denier" (as they mean it). Firstly, LDL isn't even cholesterol; it's a carrier molecule that does carry cholesterol in order to deliver it throughout the body, but it also delivers many, many other crucial things to the body. To my knowledge, no one can even measure how much actual cholesterol is in each LDL carrier (much less the quality of that cholesterol, which is actually a description they typically use describing the quality of the carrier molecule itself, not the quality of the actual cholesterol). This alone should make anyone skeptical of the current crap proffered as a "science" in this area. It's the junkiest of junk "science."
With cholesterol levels on eggs: it's important to know what you replaced your eggs with. Replacing a couple of fatty, protein rich eggs with carbs will most likely lower cholesterol. Will you get heart/artery benefits from that? Most likely not.
Since the cholesterol in LDL is calculated and not measured. People are assuming more LDL equals more cholesterol. Did anyone ever contemplate that the addition of LDL could mean they carry less cholesterol per particle. Insulin itself doesn’t cause the problem either. Folks are having an issue admitting the sugar is causing harm.
Insulin inhibits the production of nitric oxide in the arterial glycocalyx,it inhibits normal fluid and electrolyte clearance in the kidneys and increases the intra/inter organ fat (which affects the insulin/glucagon/glucose signalling )and inflammatory visceral fat and thats just for starters. Insulin is a big problem and should be monitored along with glucose.
The elephant in the room, what drives the insulin levels, exactly, the aldehydes we bathe our cells in every day 😅, horrendous they market it to children on the TV
You can eat low sugar and have high insulin. How? Eating too late, being stressed, high cortisol, inflammation, high saturated fat diet(while not bad on its own it shouldn’t be combined with carbs), and also excess calories in general(not necessarily just from sugar)
My CAC score is zero. I swear that the radiation from the CT Scan hurt my heart. I am 54. I’m on the lower end of “healthy” BMI. I exercise intensely 4-5 times per week. I try to avoid carbs. Rarely eat sugar and definitely avoid ultra processed foods. My HbA1C is borderline pre diabetes despite having a low fasting glucose and even lower C-peptide (I asked for insulin but the doctor gave me C-peptide saying it’s the same. Now I can’t calculate my HOMA-IR 😡). I have high iron levels and liver markers like ALT are a bit high. I want to sleep more but I help Mum a lot, have a struggling business while working in a part time to keep my business afloat. I desperately need sleep and to lower my iron levels. Did my first venesection (blood taken out) 6-7 weeks ago. I felt great after that.
track your calories, they still matter. you want to be eating your green leafy veggies.. and salad veggies and eat some beetroot, good for your heart health.
Sleep is important! Try to donate whole blood a few times a year, this will definitely your iron levels, I do it twice a year. Try also to do intermittent fasting, this will help you reduce insuline resistance.
I am lucky to get 6 hours per night, of sleep. 7 is really perfect. So, I've been tracking my sleep with a watch. I never used to get much deep sleep. And not enough REM, either. Then I started taking tart cherry capsules before bed. It changed my readings immediately!!! I now get 3 hours of REM and deep sleep; about half n half.

@doddgarger6806 i had my lipid panel tested a few weeks ago. Trigs were low low. Ldl was low, and hdl was higher. This is after over a year of 2 lbs of fatty beef per day.
Ive got this right now. Severe plaque in the anterior descending at 28. I have chronic Hypertension brought on by insulin resistance. My drs want to put me in several types of blood pressure meds but wont discuss anything about this.
If you haven’t figured out, the reason for the resistance is because addressing insulin means attacking the companies that make all the boxed and packaged products and remember they are at war with the cattle people they want all the problems to meat the carbs that they make.
What do you know about rising fasting glucose levels on a low carb diet? I’ve been low carb, paleo but with dairy, IF 18/6 for 8 yrs. 5 yrs ago HbA1c was 5.3 & 5.0%. Fasting glucose was 4 and insulin was 2. I’m a LMHR with low liver enzymes. In last few years (thanks to lockdowns etc) I’ve eaten more and put on weight. Recent HbA1c was 5.7% so I bought a keto-mojo meter and my glucose levels are higher than I’d like (6-7 all morning up until first meal at 2pm). Is this physiological insulin resistance? But surely having higher glucose sloshing around in my blood is not good for my glycocalyx/ endothelia/ risk of cancer/ risk of dementia etc? Is it too much protein? Or too much progesterone (had to double that part of my HRT a year ago)? Or is it just because I’m overweight-BMI probably around 26-27? What can I do about it? I’ve started weekly fasts of between 1-3 days. From day 2 my glucose is better (4-5) and my ketones get to 2 and then up to 4 on the 3rd day. I do resistance training x 4, Pilates x 3, yoga, Zumba &circuits with weights plus daily dog walk hiking in woods. I can’t do any more!!
According to Dr Ken Berry, the WHO linked meat to cancer off of a 1.18 risk ratio whereas smoking and lung cancer has a ratio of 18. So why let a ratio of 1.42 concern us, just as we're not letting the WHO concern us about the cancer risk of meat at such a low ratio?
10-20% of people do absorb dietary cholesterol and some are hyperabsorbers. . doing a pair of test first without eggs for 3-4 days. then matching replacing some fat/protein with many eggs and testing again.

You are likely blocking your own fat adaptation from working I would think from what I've researched regarding Dr Voleks faster study ETC fasted is likely much better than slamming carbs which are far less efficient than your own Ketones
Associated.... *sigh* Yeah, high insulin likely results in higher blood pressure, which damages the endothelium, which requires clots to "patch" those damaged parts, which turn into plaque, especially in a context of continuous damage.
Why does one have higher insulin level? It is because his/her blood sugar level is high for a prolong periof of time. Our body release more insulin to lower blood sugar level. But if you have functional/healthy skeletal muscles, your skeletal muscles lower blood sugar level without insulin. Pancreas and skeletal muscles work together. Pancreas alone cannot control it well. Prolonged existence of excessive sugar in blood stream damages the lining of the vessels. Our body try to repair the damages by employing platelets and others. The underlying problem is not the high level of insulin. It is the dysfunctional/unhealthy skeletal muscles which is not controlling blood sugar level. Exercise!!!

Diabetes is #1 Obesity #2 Hypertension etc etc etc Cholesterol is far down the list Apob marker is found on multiple different types of cholesterol some related to life extension while others mortality ie triglycerides...

All I do is think I’m gonna die or have a heart attack beacuse all I do is google stuff because I get zero help! Thanks guys
Not medical advice: it looks like you still have high triglycerides, if you are really keto (less than 50g of carbs per day), this should go down with time. Add intermittent fasting (limiting food intake to 6 to 8 hours per day, no snacking!) and maybe from time to time a 1 or 2 day fast, easier once you are used to intermittent fasting. Avoid seed oils (sunflower, cotton seed,...) at all costs, make sure you have enough vitamin D and K2. Healing takes time.
Meat is very insulinogenic, yet people are told that it's safe to have as much as you want. After wearing a CGM while eating meat I noticed that I still have spikes just not as high as a carb. The meat spikes last a long time. I have to space my meals far apart and can only get 2 in a day if I want to have a somewhat healthy glucose level. Also I must exercise for 15 min 60 min after a meal to bring the glucose down or else I go to bed with somewhat high bg and I will spike in my sleep.
@@doejohn8674 I do have added fats. Can't add to much because my gall bladder can only handle 50gms of fat per meal. Max would be 150gms per day with 3 meals.
This is the same as saying LDL is correlated with heart disease but thats not causation. Having oxidized LDL isnt good, having high insulin isnt good. What causes these things? You can eat a ton of sugar and have regular insulin spikes. It comes down to mitochondrial disfunction. What causes that? Oxidative stress, and inflammation. What cuases that? A lot of stuff like polyunsaturated fat, smoking, drinking, ultra processed foods, being sedentary and so on. You can also become insulin resistant from a low carb diet which increases stress hormones like glucagon cortisol and adrenaline. Eat organic whole foods and walk like 7 thousand steps a day. The more you move the better. Your mitochondria create energy with water and fat in a cell like a hydroelectric wheel. Saturated fat is the best building block and you gotta move to make your cells move.
Low carb actually results in more mitochondria and they are healthier Could it be the lack of aldehydes and lower deuterium content as a partial factor? Certainly could... Sugar/fructose deplete ATP and poison the mitochondria
@@doddgarger6806 Also the reason why studies show low carb being so good is because over 90% of America has metabolic syndrome so of course low carb is going to do the things you said. If you'd compare it to a whole food organic diet (we're omnivores not strict carnivore) low carb isn't optimal compared to organic carbs and good sourced meat. I'm happy to be wrong tho, I lost 50 pounds by eating organic maple syrup, honey, fruit, meat and ice cream. I eat a ton of sugar a day and have a 6 pack now and I feel a lot better than I did on low carb. Most people will defend low carb because you feel better on it, but you can feel even better on healthy carbs. That's transition can be tough as it is going into keto and your body will store weight at first and then acclimate.
I test every three months to monitor my progress. One by one my markers are going into the normal or optimal range. When I eat poorly my markers quickly go out of the normal/optimal range. I’m learning what my body does depending how I eat. The data is so helpful.
The data and continued science are helpful bc so many people are so against the idea of limiting their beloved plants and focusing on that terrible animal based food

Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.8 mmol/L
[1.0 - 3.0]
Serum cholesterol level 8.2 mmol/L [1.5 -
5.51; Above high reference limit
Serum triglyceride levels 3.18 mmol/L [0.5
- 2.01; Above high reference limit
Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 4.6 ratio
Serum non high density lipoprotein cholesterol level 6.4 mmol/L
Serum LDL cholesterol level 4.9 mmol/L
Any help would be greatly appreciated please. Im currently suffering with some form of weird shit going on with aches and dull pains in certain places and not sure if these results are anything to do with it.
All I do is think I’m gonna die or have a heart attack beacuse all I do is google stuff because I get zero help!
Thanks guys
Not medical advice: it looks like you still have high triglycerides, if you are really keto (less than 50g of carbs per day), this should go down with time. Add intermittent fasting (limiting food intake to 6 to 8 hours per day, no snacking!) and maybe from time to time a 1 or 2 day fast, easier once you are used to intermittent fasting.
Avoid seed oils (sunflower, cotton seed,...) at all costs, make sure you have enough vitamin D and K2. Healing takes time.
@@doejohn8674 the protein also needs to be low not just the carbs if the fat is high
What is low protein? 15% of the total calories?
Well if you never ate sugar you'd never have an insulin problem.

Meat is very insulinogenic, yet people are told that it's safe to have as much as you want. After wearing a CGM while eating meat I noticed that I still have spikes just not as high as a carb. The meat spikes last a long time. I have to space my meals far apart and can only get 2 in a day if I want to have a somewhat healthy glucose level. Also I must exercise for 15 min 60 min after a meal to bring the glucose down or else I go to bed with somewhat high bg and I will spike in my sleep.
Add enough fat and it's less most of our meat today is too lean
Try adding fat to your meals, it will reduce your insuline spikes from carbs and from proteins
@@doejohn8674 I do have added fats. Can't add to much because my gall bladder can only handle 50gms of fat per meal. Max would be 150gms per day with 3 meals.
@@Jayla-dj2gj You might want to consider bile salts before your meals if you have issues with fat digestion (this is not medical advice).
This is the same as saying LDL is correlated with heart disease but thats not causation. Having oxidized LDL isnt good, having high insulin isnt good. What causes these things? You can eat a ton of sugar and have regular insulin spikes. It comes down to mitochondrial disfunction. What causes that? Oxidative stress, and inflammation. What cuases that? A lot of stuff like polyunsaturated fat, smoking, drinking, ultra processed foods, being sedentary and so on. You can also become insulin resistant from a low carb diet which increases stress hormones like glucagon cortisol and adrenaline. Eat organic whole foods and walk like 7 thousand steps a day. The more you move the better. Your mitochondria create energy with water and fat in a cell like a hydroelectric wheel. Saturated fat is the best building block and you gotta move to make your cells move.
Great synopsis! Totally agree!
Uhhhh.... Aldehydes are very toxic to humans... Excess glucose very damaging to us fructose as well even worse
Low carb actually results in more mitochondria and they are healthier
Could it be the lack of aldehydes and lower deuterium content as a partial factor? Certainly could... Sugar/fructose deplete ATP and poison the mitochondria
@doddgarger6806
we'll disagree on that, glucose is the bodys main source of fuel for a reason.
@@doddgarger6806
Also the reason why studies show low carb being so good is because over 90% of America has metabolic syndrome so of course low carb is going to do the things you said. If you'd compare it to a whole food organic diet (we're omnivores not strict carnivore) low carb isn't optimal compared to organic carbs and good sourced meat. I'm happy to be wrong tho, I lost 50 pounds by eating organic maple syrup, honey, fruit, meat and ice cream. I eat a ton of sugar a day and have a 6 pack now and I feel a lot better than I did on low carb. Most people will defend low carb because you feel better on it, but you can feel even better on healthy carbs. That's transition can be tough as it is going into keto and your body will store weight at first and then acclimate.
Statins cause dementia. Now you’re a pharmaceutical patient for life.
Well we all die someday lol
I don’t understand all the testing. If you firmly believe low carb/ keto/ carnivore is the best way to eat…. Why would you need to keep testing.
I test every three months to monitor my progress. One by one my markers are going into the normal or optimal range. When I eat poorly my markers quickly go out of the normal/optimal range. I’m learning what my body does depending how I eat. The data is so helpful.
The data and continued science are helpful bc so many people are so against the idea of limiting their beloved plants and focusing on that terrible animal based food
Bc ppl research things they're interested in esp if it affects everyone on the planet?????
@@doddgarger6806 ya ok that makes sense if you’re gonna use the data to solidify your position in the context of a debate or discussion.
Someone call Bart kay who claims high insulin is not pathological
He says the term ‘insulin resistance’ is a construct and explains very well what he means in numerous videos. He does indeed believe that diabetes is pathological, hence he’s continually saying ‘stop pouring carbohydrates down your neck’.
What is optimal fasting insulin?
@@Tee667 except it's not a construct and high insulin is pathological
@@germantevozbutaite9222 should be between 3 - 5 ideally. Although reference ranges can differ slightly lab to lab. I did hear Bickman the other day saying 2.8 - 6 but preferably 5
Nuance? Nuance? We don’t need no stinking nuance!
Plz don't use this to say carbs are bad.
that's what he does.. he's pushing a lie
