Divided my triglycerides by my HDL and got 1.44!!!! I quit all sugars, carbs and alcohol 8 months ago! My triglycerides were 380 down to 91!!! Thank you Dr. Berg :) :) :)
You should be awarded the highest possible prize in medicine for all the work you've done in producing these vidoes and educating millions of people on the most important topic in life that health is.
You are awesome. My wife and I watch all your videos. We're in our mid 60's, in excellent health, no meds, lots of exercise, and little to no sugar and no carbs. You confirm everything we've been striving for in good health. Thanks a million doc.
oldairforcedude i am a on a high fructose high carb eating lifestyle w very little protein and near zero fat ...fasting sugar is excellent and cholesterol levels are superb...also lean and athletic...61 years old.
@@dougowens4508 i thought fructose is sugar. Also, why the heck are you fasting protein? And why no carbs if you are all athletic. Dont carbs build muscle mass and give you energy when you exercise?
Sugar being the main factor in high cholesterol is inconceivable ! Nobody has ever explained this so much in detail !!! I have seen cooking oils being sold as low cholesterol oils !!!!!! Thanks doctor !
My Dr called me yesterday saying a statin was waiting for me to go pick up. I have been fighting this for years. My cholesterol is 253 tri 51, hdl 78. Ldl 164.8. My dad passed at 63 to a massive heart attack. Mom heart issues. Siblings the same. I eat differently then everyone. I kicked an addiction of sugar and carbs out of my life..im the most healthy me I have ever been. At my goal weight which i have not seen in years. watching this helps
Lab result July 2018: HDL 104 Trglycerides 59 A1C 4.9 Total cholesterol 321 Needless to say my Primary Dr immediately went to total cholesterol and said I was at risk for cardiovascular disease, upset I went off statin .... started keto 5/16/18 total loss 30 lbs. (10 lbs with Weight Watchers) Those are great stats, I am proud of them!
Omg! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I was about to have a panic attack. Total chol-309 LDL-235 HDL-63 Triglycerides-56. I divided my triglycerides by my HDL and got .88 Thanks for those numbers I’m supposed to be at!! I feel soooo much better now!!
Congratulations on learning your numbers. My total cholesterol 297, my HDL is 60, my LDL is 211 and my triglycerides are 100. I am great with my numbers and I'm not taking any statins ever again. We all need to learn to stand up for ourselves because this world is getting greedier and greedier and pharmaceutical companies are getting richer and richer and at our health cost
@@jackiesicilian5720 Ask for copies of your results, or call your dr's office to get them. Results are broken down and that's where you will see where you are at. You should lower or eliminate your sugar/ carb intake and include regular exercise into your lifestyle. I got similar test results, recently.
Thank you for this video. I just had my blood work done and after being on Keto for almost 5 months I’ve lost 24 lbs and my cholesterol level is 2....doing it your way. Makes me so happy. Thank you again.
You are a life saver! God bless you! I got the results of my blood work and my cholesterol levels were high (according to the "new" standard) and I freaked out. But after listening to you, I am at peace. BTW, my HDL was 63, Triglycerides 93, Triglycerides to HDL ratio 1.48 (less than 2 🎉) and LDL 122
Thank you I couldn't have said it better. It's true people this guy knows what he's talking about, don't listen to your doctors when it comes to cholesterol meds. Your body needs cholesterol especially your brain. Cut out processed foods don't eat takeout or fried foods and cut back on sugar is your best health advice. Thank you for your honesty,
My Mum is on statins and has had a minor heart attack. She is 78. She is terrified of cholesterol. I have encouraged her to lower her sugar and carb intake and not be afraid to consume butter and full fat yoghurt dairy. I have sent her this video too. In other words, I'm putting my total faith in what you are saying.
For your mother's good you should be much more skeptical. Telling her butter and full fat yogurt is just fine is not smart especially if she already had a heart attack.
This is immensely helpful!! My triglyceride to HDL ratio is 3.6, and from watching your videos I know what to do to lower my cholesterol from 209. Before I started keto, my cholesterol was 165 (although last measured several years ago) and I believe since starting keto I have leaned too heavily on fats, even though they are healthy fats. My new primary care FNP wanted to put me on a statin drug, which I refused since she was not interested at all in talking about my diet or my physical reality. Candidly, I am disillusioned with the sad state of our health care system, and how quickly prescription medicine is prescribed without even considering other options.Thank you Dr. Berg!!
thank you so much dr berg. i was 98k in sept 2016. now im 77k march 2017. i couldve not done this wo watching your videos. i couldve recommended this to my mom if she were still alive. well ces la vie. i just wanna say thank you.
Pleased to see you including some science in here, in addition to explaining who was behind those studies! So many people will refer to a study as the golden ticket however they never look further into it to see whom the study was funded by! i.e Dairy Industry, etc. It great to see you include this in your videos, keep it up!
Thank you so much for this video! I asked for a "before" test (186 cholesterol, 39 HDL, 129 LDL, 92 Triglycerides. 112 glucose. BP 110/70, BMI 44.29..Triglycerides / HDL = 2.36) and retested my cholesterol, fasting glucose, etc. after I'd been on a Ketogenic/LCHF diet with intermittent fasting for just over 3 months. (227 cholesterol, 37 HDL, 177 LDL, 68 Triglycerides. 82 glucose. BP 118/82, BMI 40.39...Triglycerides/HDL=1.84) I have currently lost a total of 70 lbs so far now. I feel HEALTHIER every day, I can sleep at night, no longer need medications, and my BMI is 39.0 today (and dropping!) :D I would have been concerned about my new blood panel but the cholesterol myths along with how I feel enabled me to not worry about it. I also recently did your adrenal fatigue pupil test, and I PASSED! ^.^
Dr. Berg, I was told by my doctor's office that my cholesterol and LDL is too high. The nurse practitioner agreed to look at this video. I cannot wait for the feedback. Love your videos!!
Thank you Dr. Berg! This video on understanding your lipid test results has been a HUGE awakening for me. My total cholesterol is high, but my Triglycerides to HDL is perfectly fine. I am following your IF and Keto plan, and the results are happening. Thank you very much!
One of the most informative and helpful videos I have watched on TH-cam - thank you! Helped me to work out that I do not need to worry about my 255mg/dl total cholesterol reading because my HDL 88.94 and triglycerides of 88.57 makes my triglycerides at 1. It gives me great comfort to understand the numbers better - thank you for all the work you do!
thank you for this info. I went on stains and threw them out after 4 days. I HAVE to do it naturally and I really appreciate this video and I hope it works for me before I get a stroke....of which my doctor said I was a prime candidate.. Cutting out the SUGAR!!!!, lots a veggies and essential oils and exercise etc...Thanks and please pray this work before I drop dead...:)
I’ve had high good and bad cholesterol since I was 12 years old never has changed even though I’ve changed my diet. My triglycerides have always been 50-60 low. Thanks for this perspective my ratio is 0.9. Always felt weird like I’ve cut out carbs and sugars a lot and always to lose weight recently but than I go to my PCP and once again even thought I tell her I’ve had this since I was 12 and I’m eating cleaner and lost 15lbs I get patronized. But I’m glad the cardiologist saw through it thought, he said if I’ve always been this way both are balancing themselves out and he is more concerned about triglycerides anyway and said he wouldn’t recommend any treatment with medicine anyway
Your a god send and I am not even religious...My cholesterol has gone out of wack in a 3 month period and had no idea why? SUGAR!!! oK AMAZING ...LEARNING more from you than any doctor...Thank you!
My numbers are almost exactly the same. But I am concerned because of what "mainstream" says about LDL. Have you done a particle size test? I'm considering it..
I am so glad that I found this site for years I have been asking doctors to explain cholesterol to me finally explanation that I can understand thank you so much I will constantly be watching I’m so glad that TH-cam family put Info that can benefit us. Thank you
I have been on keto last 2 months and lost 9 lbs of weight with moderate level of activity. I have about 9 more to lose to reach my target weight.I was concerned about my lipid profile. Just got results of blood work yesterday. My LDL levels are bit high about 126 and total cholesterol of 194. However my triglyceride to HDL ratio is 1.33. I was worried initially but saw this video and feel better now. I am going to start daily exercises to help bring my cholesterol levels down but continue on KetoDiet
I'm a bit confused with this triglyceride HDL ratio. I understand it is triglyceride / HDL but it would help to have some example given. Like my mum, she has triglycerides at 0,93 g/L and HDL at 0,82 g/L and LDL at 2,40 g/L so for her the ratio would be ? 93 / 82 = &.13 Is that right ?
Great video. I have been on Keto just 2 months. Got my recent blood work back from 1 month into Keto. My doc just flipped, OMG your cholesterol is way high. Then she pointed to my HDL and Triglycerides numbers, "oh these are good". My ratio is 1.9. One year ago it was 2.5, so no, not listening to the doc on the meds.
Thank you Dr. Berg i have now my triglycerides back to normal in less tan a month. Male 41 years old my last lab tests where the following December 2017 trigycerides 515, April 2018 triglycerides 412, May 2018 at 187 mg / dl. Now i know that i have to stop eating sugar and keep with the intermitetn fasting 2 meals a day.
THANK YOU, so much I been dealing with "high cholesterol" for a bit it goes away and comes back . I have 258 right now but my hdl / TRIGLYCERIDES is 1.88. this made me feel better.
I have no word for the feeling of gratitude I want to express now. You helped me so much reading and understanding the numbers (that seemed “bad” according to the new numbers, but perfectly good according to what you explain. I obviously will have a look of the sources you mention and do my research, but what you said make so much sense. Thank you for deeply caring about the people you are making these videos for. (I definitely signed to be among them;)
Thanks for you explanation. My triglycerides initially found as 240 two years ago. I contacted doctors and was under Rosuvas f10. I have joined gymnasium and started to do high intensity training. I watched the numbers to come down and now it is 68. I have reduced my white rice consumption before bed. I still take the Rosuvas f10 but now two days alternatively.
wish i knew this before..! i was put on statins 20 years ago , back then when you went to the doctors it was like you dont know and ive no time to teach you.! IAM a doctor and your not ..! attitude, so take the MEDS .. THANKS DR. for making it simple to understand for us mortals..
I just got my results, im 31, lift weights 5 days a week, eat a very healthy low carb diet, do intermittent fasting, and my cholesterol was high(256). My LDL is 183, my HDL is 63 mg/dL and my triglycerides are 52 mg/dL. I was kinda freaking out until I did some research and saw this video, I hope this information is true haha
Love the way you explained this. I'm from Canada and I find it hard to understand the levels as compared to the different scales used. Is there an easy way to convert?
Huh. I know this vid was made some time ago, but this is the first time I saw this. I was put on statin meds for years, and I was told to continue for the rest of my life. Midway this year, I stopped the atorvastatin and started cutting carbs. Last month, my results came in. HDL at 68, LDL at 112 (noted as "High"), Triglycerides at 29. Hardest was keeping a regular workout regimen, but it was worth it. BTW, I kept my health record from early 2000s, and I did notice that LDL at 120 was considered in the "desirable" range. And now it's 100, just like Dr. Berg says.
My ratio for triglycerides divided by HDL is .77. My Dr wanted to put me on statins because my total cholesterol is 364. My triglycerides are 67 and HDL is 87. I've been on a keto diet for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. I said no thanks to the statins. My dr also recommended a low fat diet. If she only knew how much fat and cholesterol I eat in a day, but I eat no sugar.
that's the same type of thing I am dealing with....I want my cholesterol to come down...but I am not sure what the heck to do! I have been on keto for 1 year and have lost 80 lbs...my numbers were good the first six months...but this time...my ldl was over 200 and my total cholesterol was 380! my doctor went into fits!
Leticia Beam Try taking Fish oil (omega-3). What are your daily macros? I am on keto and take up to 100g of fat/daily but my cholesterol went up 194. My ldl is 87 & hdl is 33. Triglycerides are super high but I am diabetic and keto is new for me.
did you compute your Triglyceride HDL ratio?? It does not matter how high your cholesterol as long as you have good Triglyceride/ HDL ratio...Even if your LDL is high, it does not mean it is bad because there are good particle LDL and bad particle LDL... if your Triglyceride/ HDL ratio is normal then chances are, your LDL are good particle LDL...
I loved the lesson, I was told I need to be on meds, I have always had high cholesterol readings. And not one Doctor has told me to cut out sugar. I recently started a KETO lifestyle change with intermittent fasting.. I love how I feel and I am curious to get my blood drawn to see if my numbers have changed... Thank you!
Dr. Berg l am from India I have been in a big confusion since 2010 till watching your video (2021 October ) because my LDL level is always between 160 to 180 all these days I was very much worried .My Doctor said your liver is losing its capacity so it's making more cholestrol.And she prescribed "Statin" and I believed that I have fatty liver .Thankyou you for opening my eyes in this regard. I am a marital artist even after a very hard training and diet i could not get rid of my belly fat but after watching your video in a time of month I got spectacular change, actually I got rid of 60 percent of my belly fat . When I compare this to my hard which I put to reduce my fat is unbelievable. I am doing OMAD, Healthy Keto, and Intence workout. I really don't know how to Thankyou I am out of my worries and i started looking handsome because of you knowledge . You have done a remarkable and very essential help but what I have done is even after finding the video very useful I forgot to hit the like button most of the time. May God bless you with all kinds of wealth specially good healthy long life. I really don't know how to thank you and prize you. I was in US for 5 years in Florida till 2009. I would like to know in which state do you live. Thankyou.
I'm telling you!! Wow!.............. I wanna get up and replicate his work after I watch his videos, I feel so in the know after listening to this man, I love sharing his information with people just like I know he loves helping!!
OMG! Thank you for the education, I knew I didn't want to be put on one more medication. I'm in search of a good functional medicine doctor here in Norfolk, VA.
Dr Berg. With your explanations, you have allayed many of my fears. Watching every video of yours makes me a new man. Thanks for the enlightenment. With love from India
I see you haven’t posted in a long time. But thank you this was so so informative. I’m 21, small build female, with a long history of health problems. 2 weeks ago I found out I have high cholesterol (6) and I was put on medication and just told to continue going on with my life. I eat quite healthy, I’m active, and I’ve never been a big meat eater so it was such a shock to my family and I. I’d like to thank you for this video it’s really put things into perspective. I’ll have to take my health into my own hands and educate myself.
Doctors are showing their true colors. I witnessed 1st hand when my lab results (normal) with same numbers were now high & Surprise! Doctor recommended medication. I refuse until I've done thorough study with naturopaths & professionals like Dr. Berg. Medication just creates more health issues. We're on our own - but we do have Dr. Berg!
Thanks, Doc for these eye-opening truths. I just have my lab results and soon I got a call from the nurse saying that I'm high on LDL. I just calculated HDL - 41 LDL - 148 VLDL - 14 Total Cholesterol - 203 Triglycerides - 72 As you said the ratio to Triglycerides/HDL ~ 72/41=1.75 Hope I'm good.
According to your info I'm at 5.7 and my Dr wants to put me on meds... now if I'm looking at the total, it's NOT very high to begin with. 229 not that bad! Thanks again for another great video!
There's a great book called the cholesterol myth that outlines how flawed the studies were back the the day and influenced by drug companies. I was put on statins at the age of 17 despite very low triglycerides and high HDL. I am a thin active person with no risk factors. Its a shame i didn't know better.
I'm 32, I weigh 245 lbs, 6 feet 1 inch tall, love heavy strength training at least 2 times a week, I eat between 3 and 4 eggs a day, I wear a 38 in pants, today my blood work revealed 176 total cholesterol, 38 hdl, 120 ldl, 95 triglycerides, 150 glucose nonfasting, and all of this doing exactly the opposite of my doctor recomendation, he wanted to put me on statins, metformin I declined them all and I'm glad I did, I cut out drastically sugars from drinks and started eating more eggs and it worked, the print they gave me today with my numbers recommended 100 as desirable for ldl but now I see thanks to this video that my 120 is well according to the older 130, they just lowered it to put more people on statins, and again my hdl of 38 might seem low compared to the 40 recommended but my triglycerides being 95 the ratio is 2.5, pretty damn close to the 2 suggested by Dr Berg
Daughter Of The King It's cutting out all processed food and junk and you do it strict as hell for 30 days. And if you want to see really amazing results you try to do it for essentially forever. Read up on it. Google
It would be wonderful if you also included Canadian lab values (millimoles per litre) in these very enlightening videos. Having to scramble around the internet to find conversion charts takes time away from the video and sometimes I never get back to it! I think you have many people who follow your videos in Canada, thanks so much for your insight and work.
Thank you doc berg. I just got my lipid frofile and its alarming for me cause my Cholesterol and ldl are high but I understand that the ratio of trig and hdl is the good, im so happy i have 1.3 ratio. Its far from risk. Thank u Doc.
Dr Berg awesome video as always (that is by default).I had a quick question . Does the good fat that we eat (on a keto diet) goes into triglycerides as well ?
Wonderful video! My husband just got lab test results and his total cholesterol is 409!!! (LDL309). everything else on test was perfect. I need some advice about how to deal with high cholesterol please!!!!!
Was in real trouble a year ago with sugar and carb intake on a daily basis l got sick insulin level high the dr. Put me on carb and fruit diet l got worse l am a type 2 diabetic so l got on keto diet listen to dr. Berg no more sugar in body l am a new person, sugar insulin level fantastic the doctors were killing me l lost 30 kilos and fasting is the key eat well forget junk foods simple meats and veg cheeses l am still loosing weight and l feel strong. My doctor can not believe my transformation so l fired him, thanks dr. Berg your a wonderful person and dr.
Thank you for the video. If the Trg/HDL is below 6 and the HDL is above 47 for a woman as you said, what can cause the LDL level to be higher than 150 and where can I look for the problem? thank you again Dr Berg

New subscriber here! The level of your teaching skill is very impressive! Educating the public about biochemistry is GOLD! Thanks!
Always love his videos. He brings a sense of calm when he speaks. A fantastic man
I’ve had high good and bad cholesterol since I was 12 years old never has changed even though I’ve changed my diet. My triglycerides have always been 50-60 low. Thanks for this perspective my ratio is 0.9. Always felt weird like I’ve cut out carbs and sugars a lot and always to lose weight recently but than I go to my PCP and once again even thought I tell her I’ve had this since I was 12 and I’m eating cleaner and lost 15lbs I get patronized. But I’m glad the cardiologist saw through it thought, he said if I’ve always been this way both are balancing themselves out and he is more concerned about triglycerides anyway and said he wouldn’t recommend any treatment with medicine anyway
Omg, thank you for this great break down with old-school visual aids.
Your a god send and I am not even religious...My cholesterol has gone out of wack in a 3 month period and had no idea why?
SUGAR!!! oK AMAZING ...LEARNING more from you than any doctor...Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Berg. Your explanation how to read cholesterols levels is amazing.
Thank you Dr Berg 🙏 I understand this so much better now. Ballito South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you!! I have been obsessing over my recent blood work. This helped me understand cholesterol and how even small changes can improve my numbers.
You WIN the AWARD for BEST way to explain a complicated issue.... thanks for the truth !!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate you!!!!!!!!
7 months on Keto. Tri 64. Hdl 68. LDL 163
what is the unit of measurement that you use? (mine are in mmol/l)
My numbers are almost exactly the same. But I am concerned because of what "mainstream" says about LDL. Have you done a particle size test? I'm considering it..
I am so glad that I found this site for years I have been asking doctors to explain cholesterol to me finally explanation that I can understand thank you so much I will constantly be watching I’m so glad that TH-cam family put Info that can benefit us. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Berg for answering my question with this video. Your honesty and knowledge is much appreciated.
Thank you Dr. for saying the truth!
The truth always triunphs!
I will never get tired of watching this video! Such peace of mind after reviewing my latest lab results! Thanks again Dr. Berg!
same here! my cholesteral is nearly 300 but my triglyceride/HDL ratio is 1.6.
same
I have been on keto last 2 months and lost 9 lbs of weight with moderate level of activity. I have about 9 more to lose to reach my target weight.I was concerned about my lipid profile. Just got results of blood work yesterday. My LDL levels are bit high about 126 and total cholesterol of 194. However my triglyceride to HDL ratio is 1.33. I was worried initially but saw this video and feel better now. I am going to start daily exercises to help bring my cholesterol levels down but continue on KetoDiet
I'm a bit confused with this triglyceride HDL ratio. I understand it is triglyceride / HDL but it would help to have some example given. Like my mum, she has triglycerides at 0,93 g/L and HDL at 0,82 g/L and LDL at 2,40 g/L so for her the ratio would be ? 93 / 82 = &.13 Is that right ?
Great video. I have been on Keto just 2 months. Got my recent blood work back from 1 month into Keto. My doc just flipped, OMG your cholesterol is way high. Then she pointed to my HDL and Triglycerides numbers, "oh these are good". My ratio is 1.9. One year ago it was 2.5, so no, not listening to the doc on the meds.
Thank you Dr. Berg i have now my triglycerides back to normal in less tan a month. Male 41 years old my last lab tests where the following December 2017 trigycerides 515, April 2018 triglycerides 412, May 2018 at 187 mg / dl. Now i know that i have to stop eating sugar and keep with the intermitetn fasting 2 meals a day.
Thank you for explaining this so simply. Opened my eyes to what they really wanted to do, get me on a medication.
Finally an explanation that I can understand. Many thanks for this posting.
Great explanation Doc! I'm sharing this one to people I care about!
THANK YOU, so much I been dealing with "high cholesterol" for a bit it goes away and comes back . I have 258 right now but my hdl / TRIGLYCERIDES is 1.88. this made me feel better.
I have no word for the feeling of gratitude I want to express now. You helped me so much reading and understanding the numbers (that seemed “bad” according to the new numbers, but perfectly good according to what you explain. I obviously will have a look of the sources you mention and do my research, but what you said make so much sense. Thank you for deeply caring about the people you are making these videos for. (I definitely signed to be among them;)
Dr Berg honestly, you simply are the best doctor in the whole world. I watch your videos every single day without fail. Thank you for everything.
Thank you so much for putting that into perspective for me. Now I know what to do.
Thanks for you explanation. My triglycerides initially found as 240 two years ago. I contacted doctors and was under Rosuvas f10. I have joined gymnasium and started to do high intensity training. I watched the numbers to come down and now it is 68. I have reduced my white rice consumption before bed. I still take the Rosuvas f10 but now two days alternatively.
wish i knew this before..! i was put on statins 20 years ago , back then when you went to the doctors it was like you dont know and ive no time to teach you.! IAM a doctor and your not ..! attitude, so take the MEDS .. THANKS DR. for making it simple to understand for us mortals..
THANK YOU ~ for all the true formulas ..my husband and I are so happy to find this particular video ~ Thank You !!!!
I just got my results, im 31, lift weights 5 days a week, eat a very healthy low carb diet, do intermittent fasting, and my cholesterol was high(256). My LDL is 183, my HDL is 63 mg/dL and my triglycerides are 52 mg/dL. I was kinda freaking out until I did some research and saw this video, I hope this information is true haha
How are you doing now because my numbers are very close to yours
@@bucknasty8597same 😅
@devinpeirce7152 are we gonna die or is this normal?
I love your explanation! Makes it easy to understand.
Well that was so clear it makes perfect sense. Thank you for the good advice
Yet complety bad advice. Do your research because your health depends on it
Dr. Eric you are awesome. Such a good voice and your way to deliver the topic is admirable.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!!!
THANKS DR BERG.
Well understood
Love the way you explained this. I'm from Canada and I find it hard to understand the levels as compared to the different scales used. Is there an easy way to convert?
Got my results back today. Triglyceride ÷ HDL = 2.9 so guess I'm good to go 👍 I'm on a keto diet with 16-8 intermittent fasting
Huh. I know this vid was made some time ago, but this is the first time I saw this. I was put on statin meds for years, and I was told to continue for the rest of my life. Midway this year, I stopped the atorvastatin and started cutting carbs. Last month, my results came in. HDL at 68, LDL at 112 (noted as "High"), Triglycerides at 29. Hardest was keeping a regular workout regimen, but it was worth it. BTW, I kept my health record from early 2000s, and I did notice that LDL at 120 was considered in the "desirable" range. And now it's 100, just like Dr. Berg says.
My ratio for triglycerides divided by HDL is .77. My Dr wanted to put me on statins because my total cholesterol is 364. My triglycerides are 67 and HDL is 87. I've been on a keto diet for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. I said no thanks to the statins. My dr also recommended a low fat diet. If she only knew how much fat and cholesterol I eat in a day, but I eat no sugar.
that's the same type of thing I am dealing with....I want my cholesterol to come down...but I am not sure what the heck to do! I have been on keto for 1 year and have lost 80 lbs...my numbers were good the first six months...but this time...my ldl was over 200 and my total cholesterol was 380! my doctor went into fits!
Leticia Beam Try taking Fish oil (omega-3). What are your daily macros? I am on keto and take up to 100g of fat/daily but my cholesterol went up 194. My ldl is 87 & hdl is 33. Triglycerides are super high but I am diabetic and keto is new for me.
Sounds like you're not eating enough vegetables.
Could it be possible that numbers are out of whack because your body is burning fat instead of sugar and so there is more in your blood stream?
did you compute your Triglyceride HDL ratio?? It does not matter how high your cholesterol as long as you have good Triglyceride/ HDL ratio...Even if your LDL is high, it does not mean it is bad because there are good particle LDL and bad particle LDL... if your Triglyceride/ HDL ratio is normal then chances are, your LDL are good particle LDL...
Thank you Dr Berg for explaining the basics of cholesterol.
I loved the lesson, I was told I need to be on meds, I have always had high cholesterol readings. And not one Doctor has told me to cut out sugar. I recently started a KETO lifestyle change with intermittent fasting.. I love how I feel and I am curious to get my blood drawn to see if my numbers have changed... Thank you!
Any positive results
Dr. Berg l am from India I have been in a big confusion since 2010 till watching your video (2021 October ) because my LDL level is always between 160 to 180 all these days I was very much worried .My Doctor said your liver is losing its capacity so it's making more cholestrol.And she prescribed "Statin" and I believed that I have fatty liver .Thankyou you for opening my eyes in this regard.
I am a marital artist even after a very hard training and diet i could not get rid of my belly fat but after watching your video in a time of month I got spectacular change, actually I got rid of 60 percent of my belly fat . When I compare this to my hard which I put to reduce my fat is unbelievable.
I am doing OMAD, Healthy Keto, and Intence workout.
I really don't know how to Thankyou
I am out of my worries and i started looking handsome because of you knowledge .
You have done a remarkable and very essential help but what I have done is even after finding the video very useful I forgot to hit the like button most of the time.
May God bless you with all kinds of wealth specially good healthy long life.
I really don't know how to thank you and prize you.
I was in US for 5 years in Florida till 2009.
I would like to know in which state do you live.
Thankyou.
Dr. Berg is really a remarkable man
I'm telling you!!
Wow!..............
I wanna get up and replicate his work after I watch his videos, I feel so in the know after listening to this man, I love sharing his information with people just like I know he loves helping!!
Thank you Dr. BERG...I so value your info and you giving us the truth about how our bodies really work!❤😊..I can't thank you enough!
My pleasure!
OMG! Thank you for the education, I knew I didn't want to be put on one more medication. I'm in search of a good functional medicine doctor here in Norfolk, VA.
Dr Berg. With your explanations, you have allayed many of my fears. Watching every video of yours makes me a new man. Thanks for the enlightenment. With love from India
No problem. Thanks for your trust and support. Take care.
DR. BERG for PRESIDENT!!!👍🏼
❤️🇺🇸you Dr. Berg!!
Because he says things to confort you in your choices. DO your research, he is not a doctor. Be careful with these you tubers. Peace
Crystal L.A. RIGHT!!!! Dr Berg will stop protecting Monsanto! !!
Crystal L.A.
No brainer
If only....
The speaker explained very clear on "Cholesterol Reading".
I see you haven’t posted in a long time. But thank you this was so so informative. I’m 21, small build female, with a long history of health problems. 2 weeks ago I found out I have high cholesterol (6) and I was put on medication and just told to continue going on with my life. I eat quite healthy, I’m active, and I’ve never been a big meat eater so it was such a shock to my family and I. I’d like to thank you for this video it’s really put things into perspective. I’ll have to take my health into my own hands and educate myself.
Doctors are showing their true colors. I witnessed 1st hand when my lab results (normal) with same numbers were now high & Surprise! Doctor recommended medication. I refuse until I've done thorough study with naturopaths & professionals like Dr. Berg. Medication just creates more health issues. We're on our own - but we do have Dr. Berg!
I'm from Trinidad. Sir you are a great great blessing. I could watch your video all day
Thanks, Doc for these eye-opening truths. I just have my lab results and soon I got a call from the nurse saying that I'm high on LDL. I just calculated
HDL - 41
LDL - 148
VLDL - 14
Total Cholesterol - 203
Triglycerides - 72
As you said the ratio to Triglycerides/HDL ~ 72/41=1.75
Hope I'm good.
My total is 339..triglycerides 51...Hdl 110
This is great. Bo Knows? Berg knows. Actually explains the source of the problem. This is great work.
According to your info I'm at 5.7 and my Dr wants to put me on meds... now if I'm looking at the total, it's NOT very high to begin with. 229 not that bad! Thanks again for another great video!
Right - I would ask your doctor for a specific study that shows that total cholesterol leads to any risk at all -esp if it's only 229
There's a great book called the cholesterol myth that outlines how flawed the studies were back the the day and influenced by drug companies. I was put on statins at the age of 17 despite very low triglycerides and high HDL. I am a thin active person with no risk factors. Its a shame i didn't know better.
Eric Berg That's what I thought...Thanx, I'll do that!😉
Siegfried Furtwängler Knappertsbusch Not really, it's between 100-199 so I don't think that's that high.
Siegfried Furtwängler Knappertsbusch it's not MUCH higher than required, is all I mean.
Awesome video and information. How 40 so doc lowered the number for the benefits of the pharma industry. Simply amazing!
I'm 32, I weigh 245 lbs, 6 feet 1 inch tall, love heavy strength training at least 2 times a week, I eat between 3 and 4 eggs a day, I wear a 38 in pants, today my blood work revealed 176 total cholesterol, 38 hdl, 120 ldl, 95 triglycerides, 150 glucose nonfasting, and all of this doing exactly the opposite of my doctor recomendation, he wanted to put me on statins, metformin I declined them all and I'm glad I did, I cut out drastically sugars from drinks and started eating more eggs and it worked, the print they gave me today with my numbers recommended 100 as desirable for ldl but now I see thanks to this video that my 120 is well according to the older 130, they just lowered it to put more people on statins, and again my hdl of 38 might seem low compared to the 40 recommended but my triglycerides being 95 the ratio is 2.5, pretty damn close to the 2 suggested by Dr Berg
Try doing Whole 30. It'll clean you up and set you up for a life without any meds, no question.
Chris O
What is Whole 30 please?
Here in Germany, LDL is considered OK if it is below 160. So I wouldn't worry.
Daughter Of The King It's cutting out all processed food and junk and you do it strict as hell for 30 days. And if you want to see really amazing results you try to do it for essentially forever. Read up on it. Google
Chris O
Yes and thank you!
Thanks for being the Doctor "for the people".
It would be wonderful if you also included Canadian lab values (millimoles per litre) in these very enlightening videos. Having to scramble around the internet to find conversion charts takes time away from the video and sometimes I never get back to it! I think you have many people who follow your videos in Canada, thanks so much for your insight and work.
I was just wondering the very same thing. Do we just take out the decimal places?
@@PriscillaThen- there are some good conversion charts on the Internet just Google it.
Thank you doc berg. I just got my lipid frofile and its alarming for me cause my Cholesterol and ldl are high but I understand that the ratio of trig and hdl is the good, im so happy i have 1.3 ratio. Its far from risk. Thank u Doc.
THANK YOU!!
You made a very simplistic video here vs. all the other confusing video's out there and for that I thank you Dr Eric. Skip
Dr Berg awesome video as always (that is by default).I had a quick question . Does the good fat that we eat (on a keto diet) goes into triglycerides as well ?
yogesh kumar yes i want to know this too
no
Good healthy fats make good cholesterol . Bad fats make bad cholesterol
As I understand it .
yogesh kumar uu. Kk
Thank you Dr Berg, You've changed my life for the better. God bless you.
Wonderful video! My husband just got lab test results and his total cholesterol is 409!!! (LDL309). everything else on test was perfect. I need some advice about how to deal with high cholesterol please!!!!!
Keto in Miami En Español I'm on same situations. How's he now. I'm on statin 10mg for 5 years now, now TC is 220
My numbers are very similar. According to Dr. Berg, my ratio of Triglycerides and HDL is 1.3, so I should be good.
Thank you Dr. berg for these wonderful videos! This is one of my favorites!
Wow! Thank you.
Was in real trouble a year ago with sugar and carb intake on a daily basis l got sick insulin level high the dr. Put me on carb and fruit diet l got worse l am a type 2 diabetic so l got on keto diet listen to dr. Berg no more sugar in body l am a new person, sugar insulin level fantastic the doctors were killing me l lost 30 kilos and fasting is the key eat well forget junk foods simple meats and veg cheeses l am still loosing weight and l feel strong. My doctor can not believe my transformation so l fired him, thanks dr. Berg your a wonderful person and dr.
Thank you for the video. If the Trg/HDL is below 6 and the HDL is above 47 for a woman as you said, what can cause the LDL level to be higher than 150 and where can I look for the problem?
thank you again Dr Berg
Following
Your explanations are so clear and understandable. Thank you for putting my mind to ease.
Love!!
