My result 3 days ago on Keto after 7 months. I will not name all the symptoms that have dissapeared. Just too many to list. I will just give the numbers. TG/HDL 50/75 ( from 220/40) LDL 350 ( from 104) Total cholesterol 500 (from I can't remember) A1C dropped from 5.7 to 5.3 B;lood pressure from, 140/90 to 120/70. Weight. Went from 210 to 165 lbs. so far. I believe if I keep going like this, in another year my LDL will hit 1000. I will most likely drop dead feeling good. Did you read that? FEELING GOOD . That is how I actually feel
During covid in 2020, I was on 5% Keto, but changed to low carb last year. I got my blood test result back last year: Cholesterol 218; triglycerides 25; HDL 69; LDL 144. I’m not worried about it, and my doctor said that my ratio of triglycerides to HDL was extremely perfect.😂
Been keto 2yrs lost 120lbs the first 9 month maintenance ever since. Never check ketons. Just blood sugar to keep it under 100. And yes my cholesterol shot up within the first 6 months but now perfect.
@@veronicalifeuneditedrosari4093 ive been doing keto for nearly 3 months, i checked my cholesterol today as i was worried about some pain in my heart it was over 400 they said the machine only went up to 400, so now im worried, they said i could be at risk of a stroke or heart attck..
@@tummygoat33 You need to check the individual types of lipids and not just overall cholesterol. Dr. Berg actually has a great video on that. Also, be sure that your diet is whole foods and no seed oils (canola, corn, soy, vegetable oil). It should mostly consist of non-starchy veg. Some people don't bother counting carbs from leafy vegetables because they have virtually no effect on blood sugar. If you're trying to lose weight, you may have to initially reduce your fat intake a bit and slightly increase protein. You need to force your body to tap into its own fat stores before you give it too much dietary fat to begin with.
From the Journal of American College of Cardiology June 2020 Abstract: The recommendation to limit dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake has persisted despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recent meta-analyses of randomized trials and observational studies found no beneficial effects of reducing SFA intake on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality, and instead found protective effects against stroke. Although SFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, in most individuals, this is not due to increasing levels of small, dense LDL particles, but rather larger LDL which are much less strongly related to CVD risk. It is also apparent that the health effects of foods cannot be predicted by their content in any nutrient group, without considering the overall macronutrient distribution. Whole-fat dairy, unprocessed meat, eggs and dark chocolate are SFA-rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with increased risk of CVD. The totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods.
Informative. I see my new doctor in a couple of weeks. I'm not going to worry about cholesterol. I've been keto for a couple of weeks. And now I'm armed with information to disagree with my doctor about medication if my numbers are up. This all makes such good sense to me now. Thank you Dr. Boz.
cholesterol and triglecirides are stored in our fat cells, when we stop carb intake the fat is released and we burn the triglecirides, but the cholesterol is slowly excreted with bile and fiber. that is why it shows in our bloodstream. after the weight loss, your back to normal your ldl goes back to normal that is my theory.
Great video and perfect timing for me to see it now. I would say that due to very bad eating habits that built up over years, starting with Saturday morning cartoons and sugar cereal and sugar snacks at least 5 decades ago, I would say that I am in the "200 club", and holding the line at about 100 g of carbs per day for now. Even though I have lost 45 lbs, my morning fasting blood sugar is still in the 110 to 130 range. My worst was above 160 when my weight was at it's worst just a few years ago. Starting with the obvious refined sugars, I find that it works for me to take it one step at a time and am now eliminating the hidden carbs, as I call them, one item at a time from my diet. Stress is a killer, and there is always an awful lot going on to contend with.
As usual, a great video. Very informative especially to this "newbee" KETO OMAD eater. I love this lifestyle but when I get puzzled I look for your latest update and it always helps. Sometimes a video gets a bit medical for me but I just re-watch until I get it. I also tune into Dr. Ken Berry. My KETO sticks have been consistently light and/dark purple. I'm down 37 pounds! Cool. Thank you so much!
I'm feeling a lot better after having watched this. I'm about 3 weeks in and while my glucose has been good and triglycerides fell into a normal level, the rest of my lipid profile started going a little wonky. I ordered the ketone meter you suggested and I'm looking forward to checking the numbers (including my DBR) like you recommend. Thanks! Subbed.
@@DoctorBoz the video kind of ended abruptly. I have been on a carb cycling + 18hr IF for 4+ months. My insulin, triglycerides, glucose are low. Lost a bunch of fat (and muscle i feel like), but showing Abs. Did bloodwork, my Total went up to 327 and LDL shot up to 250. Should I just get more strict with Keto and keep going?
Thanks Dr Boz this was a great explanation. I’m dealing with this too in the process of reversing type two diabetes. I freaked out at first until I watched some of your videos and took the Consistently Keto course.

I am age 32, recently Nov of 2023 i😢 diagnosed with 301 total high blood cholesterol, HDL 54 and LDL 235 and 3 months ago i AUG of 2023 my total cholesterol was 205, HDL 49, LDL 156, just because i went throught keto diet very low carbohydrate intake from end of AUG to NOV and from OCT to NOV i increase meat consumption due to my weight keep on dropping from 90kg drop to 85 in the middle of OCT, therefore in the middle of OCT i started to eat 1 meal of fried chicken chop per week and plenty of vegetable daily, exercise 3 times a week, now my cholesterol go up crazy, hope to control it and pull it down

Id like to believe that If I'm riding the bike, sweating and getting my heart beat pumping. My body will burn through the old storage faster. Can exercise speed up the rate my glycogen storage burns?
How does statins play into this? I know they inhibit cholesterol, CoQ10 and two other molecules . Taking Ubiquinol has been great to minimize the muscle pain and maintain CoQ10. I’m taking a statin because I’ve got a genetic predisposition to reuptake less cholesterol back into the liver for destruction/reuse/excretion. (Even as a skinny teen, I had high cholesterol ). I want to keto (again) to help shed about 20 lbs of new parent weight gain in addition to exercise. Is the statin complimentary or antagonistic toward ketogenesis and stored fat burning ?
Cholesterol isn’t a bad thing , more dr are starting to understand this and there are a lot of heart dr that are not to concerned with it being high. Cholesterol is good for your brain health. I’m not saying that it should be 350-400 but if it’s under 300 from my research and understanding now it’s ok as long as you maintain your health and don’t eat like crap.

78 and prescription for statin that I pick up and never take bc I read longevity is better in older woman with high cholesterol. Dr a vegan said it was my Carnivore diet and either change that or take statin. I don’t wish to do either. Extremely healthy otherwise. Need Keto/ Carnivore Dr not statins. No skeletal problems keep bloodwork great exercise usually 12 miles a day. Do weight resistance upper body. Think brain 🧠 is still great 👍.
Been on keto for a few months my A1c is now back to normal from prediabetic but liver ALT has not dropped but raised a little more, along with cholesterol raise too. Clean Keto 18:6 fast with a weekly 24 fast. Im hoping this ALT raise and Cholesterol thing is temporary. As all other bloods are now normal since being keto.
Just for considerstion: shouldn't we be looking beyond just an LDL number? Apo B, LPa, and CRP are all numbers we need to look at, too. We cant just look at a high LDL number and shrug it off.
I'm really pissed ad don't get it!!! 72 male, keto for last 13 months, 5,10, 145 lbs eating less than 30 carbs daily, walking 3-4 miles daily. Blood work this week----Aic went from 5.4---5.9 in 8 months. Fasting Glucose went from 95---105 in 8 months. REally???????????????? How can this be possible following the stict rules of the game.
My Thyroid has been neutralized thru readiation, so now I have Hypothyroidism, can I still do Keto ? I take meds for Hypothyroidism and high cholesterol
@@TheHitKid88 not exactly, my current doc is working with me. I think he is bery curious 🤔 because I'm in my late 50's with no inflammation in my body.
I have read in many places liver is emptied from glycogen after up to 24 hours of fasting (that may vary: for some people it could be even earlier). However here Dr Boz claims it takes 12 week to achieve that. That doesn't make sense. I think she is wrong ..
It might not.I would not worry if your HDL is high and Triglycerides are low.LDL is not problem if rest of health is good or improving. My total cholesterol is 320. Im now 55 and after going keto 2 years ago and losing 40 lbs mine has been high but also hdl went up and triglycerides down. I feel great and decades younger and will NOT take a statin to lower LDL
There are three types of LDL, one is a smallest size, this is the dangerous one, it does the damage. and the second LDL is a Larger LDL that is Bigger and Fluffy, Third LDL is even Bigger and Fluffier these Larger types of LDL are the Safe ones, as they are to large to get into areas of the body and damage them. So not all LDL is Bad. Also if you eat a Healthy Keto Diet NUTRIENT DENSE!!!!!!! that has a High in Veggis and heathy fat in it, Like Dr. Berg talks about all the Time. But all the Fat you eat has to then go through your Liver raising your LDL, and HDL, again there are three types of LDL, this does Not include the many types of HDL. Eating Cruciferous Veggis is VITAL to cleaning out the Liver, and lowering the "Bad Small LDL" and increase the "Good Big Fluffy LDL" and Increase HDL, the Big fluffy LDL is Good because it is to large to do any damage Unlike the small LDL that does all the Damage. The Body Must have Cholesterol, and Lots of it is Very Healthy. Dr. Berg explains the two types of LDL
Was this a magic video or just good timing...lol....and then on my computer you and Dr Berry was up next...that was a good video as well...Thanks for this video Dr Boz...(I will be ordering the omega 3 test too)...don't forget when I am out by you... after I get the RV... I will be coming to see you as a paying patient:)
Correct. The large buoyant VLDL release energy & cholesterol to all our cells. Once they get small & dense, they are supposed to get returned to the liver. However when insulin is high, they liver doesn't want them and they stay in the blood & get oxidized and cause damage. Especially to the walls of our arteries.
After one year of a low carb diet and mostly carnivore now, I lost over 20 lbs and now have a normal weight, low fasting blood sugar, low insulin, normal triglycerides, and normal HDL, my cholesterol and LDL are through the roof. I’m consistently producing Ketones at 0.2 to 0.3. Could it be that my liver is still full of triglycerides? Liver enzymes are all normal. Cardiologist says I’m eating too much red meat (which I don’t think I am). I reading about hyper responders. Any opinions out there? Dr. Boz talked about depleting glycogen from the liver but what about triglycerides? Did I miss something?
If one on keto Carnivore diet, non hdl and LDL slightly a bit high and didnt fast for twelve hours before take the test. What does this mean ? If this ok ? Thanks
My ldl went to 301. Ldl 301 TC 372 hdl 50 triglycerides 118 vldl 21. First labs since starting keto. Doctor freaked. Prescribed statin. Took 40 mg of lipitor for 18 days for my wife. Stopped it with brain fog and kidney pain.
Hi there, I love your videos. My LDL is even higher this time than last time it’s 262, triglycerides are 65, my HDL is 90 and my lipids total is 356. What do you think I can do without going on a Staten? My doctor tells me I am aGood candidate for one, especially with family history. She also tested my fluffy LDL’s and they are very high, into the 2000s. I’m 62 and live a healthy lifestyle. What do you think I can do to lower them?
do not worry about your cholesterol ,its the good fluffy cholesterol anyway,,,however if you are eating carbs and sugar ,,then its a problem ,,because y our body will make AGE;S ,,,and then you have a problem !!!!
For those of you that have lowered carbs, to a keto-like level or a bit higher, like 100g/day - can you comment on your BP? Has it changed from before? Up or down? Also, Dr. Box mentions triglycerides in the blood with regard to eating fats but I was under the impression that carb intake drove triglyceride levels and fat intake drove LDL levels. Can anyone clarify that? Thanks.
Mine went from 150/95 without meds before Keto to a perfect 115-120/80. I’ve always had borderline high BP. If you get rid of inflammation your BP will go down. It happened in a couple of weeks for me. Dropped the BP med dose by half and then stopped. By 1 month hopefully you’ll see the best numbers if you’re strict. No cheat days. No BS fake keto boxed crap. Real food only.
The video was partially incorrect. Fats you consume are packaged into triglycerides inside a vessel called a chylomicron. These fats travel from the intestine, through your lymphatic system, and enter your bloodstream through a portal vessel near your heart. Carbohydrates you consume enter straight to your bloodstream as glucose. Excess glucose gets converted to triglycerides by the liver, and then they are packaged into lipids called VLDL. So triglycerides come from both sources, but becomes more problematic when on the standard American diet where excess carbs is the norm.
Hi, I've been doing keto for about 2 years now and OMAD for 1. Lots of improvement in many markers.. BUT-- my LDL has shot up and stayed there, > 200. (even with low fasting insulin 2.6 - 3.2) I am Apoe3/4 so I think that might play into it.
Hey Jake, my LDL shot up also. There is nothing wrong with that. There is a blood test you can take that separates a large particle LDL from small LDL. The large is beneficial for you the small is harmful. My small LDL was 331 in a range of 0 to 525. My cardiologist said I did not have a cholesterol issue at all.
She did explain It’s because you’re using up all the glucose and fat and it takes time for this to happen so you basically don’t test for cholesterol cos your blood is going to be full of it It should settle down once your weight stabilises It’s happen8ng to me right now I’ve lost 11 kilos and I’m not a big person and my cholesterol sky rocketed from 5.8 to 9 🥹 I’m not worried I’m getting my heart checked again and if my calcium score is zero again as it was last year and if the angiogram shows no structural damage I’m fine Blood pressure is good Trigs are low Sugar is fine Weight is good I’m doubting whether I’m in danger of stroke or heart attack

I should have added I have been on Jeto since Feb 2019 and feel great...so does one who stays on the keto lifestyle just have high Cholesterol Levels (LDL) ? Thanks.
Some do.Ive been keto 2 years and my total cholesterol is 320 but my HDL is high 97 and triglycerides low 100 so Im not concerned nor will I take a Statin. Brain function needs cholesterol and I believe dementia and Alzheimer's increase is because of statin use
DR Boz, it will help a lot if you don't try to vroom your words. I mean summarise what process you are saying and just use as few words as possible to say it. This is much more attractive!! Somehow I just keep focusing on those oh so " exciting" words you like to add-in. I mean you have had so much time to think, why do you keep turning up the emotions again and again. Can I just have a list of what you want to say..It doesn't always have to be a fast moving movie or excitement and more cries and oohs ahhhs man that was too much...! Why can't you just be more serious more "understated", like some of the other doctors..This happened and as a matter of fact there was this. Please cut out so much emotional ahs or ohs etc.etc..You cannot be describing the actual change of the actual chylomicrons. Just say, it becomes this and that, full stop..No need for added excitement 😄 What is with all that extra sounds or fast talking? Why? Imagine you are just explaining how to boil an egg so that it is half boiled.. Literally I will just explain that we want to keep the egg in the boiling water for 6 minutes, from room temperature. Please don't say how the boiling water reminds you of sea waves when driving along SanDiego and what the sounds was like with Seagulls overhead etc.. Actually I want to listen to what you are saying but I get so distracted. I am sorry if this feedback is disturbing. Just forget it!

Clean Keto 18:6 fast with a weekly 24 fast. Im hoping this ALT raise and Cholesterol thing is temporary. As all other bloods are now normal since being keto.
Just for considerstion: shouldn't we be looking beyond just an LDL number? Apo B, LPa, and CRP are all numbers we need to look at, too. We cant just look at a high LDL number and shrug it off.
I'm really pissed ad don't get it!!! 72 male, keto for last 13 months, 5,10, 145 lbs eating less than 30 carbs daily, walking 3-4 miles daily.
Blood work this week----Aic went from 5.4---5.9 in 8 months.
Fasting Glucose went from 95---105 in 8 months.
REally???????????????? How can this be possible following the stict rules of the game.
My Thyroid has been neutralized thru readiation, so now I have Hypothyroidism, can I still do Keto ? I take meds for Hypothyroidism and high cholesterol
I mean eggs butter and cheese is the Leto way
Thank u for. Explanation!
I wish you were here in Virginia. I am looking for a doctor that understands this.
Hey Tina, have you found a doctor who understands this? I've been on Ketosis for six months now.
@@TheHitKid88 not exactly, my current doc is working with me. I think he is bery curious 🤔 because I'm in my late 50's with no inflammation in my body.
I have read in many places liver is emptied from glycogen after up to 24 hours of fasting (that may vary: for some people it could be even earlier). However here Dr Boz claims it takes 12 week to achieve that. That doesn't make sense. I think she is wrong ..
Am I the only one to notice that as the years progress, the doc looks younger?
Robert C Lynch keto does that
Dr. Boz, what are your thoughts on the Custom Keto Diet that cost $37?
THANKS
WHAT ABOUT TYPE 1 WITH HIGH LEVELS IN MORNING BY FASTING FOR 12 HOURS, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION. 😊
Ok. So when can I expect my LDL to go down?
It might not.I would not worry if your HDL is high and Triglycerides are low.LDL is not problem if rest of health is good or improving. My total cholesterol is 320. Im now 55 and after going keto 2 years ago and losing 40 lbs mine has been high but also hdl went up and triglycerides down. I feel great and decades younger and will NOT take a statin to lower LDL
There are three types of LDL, one is a smallest size, this is the dangerous one, it does the damage. and the second LDL is a Larger LDL that is Bigger and Fluffy, Third LDL is even Bigger and Fluffier these Larger types of LDL are the Safe ones, as they are to large to get into areas of the body and damage them. So not all LDL is Bad. Also if you eat a Healthy Keto Diet NUTRIENT DENSE!!!!!!! that has a High in Veggis and heathy fat in it, Like Dr. Berg talks about all the Time. But all the Fat you eat has to then go through your Liver raising your LDL, and HDL, again there are three types of LDL, this does Not include the many types of HDL. Eating Cruciferous Veggis is VITAL to cleaning out the Liver, and lowering the "Bad Small LDL" and increase the "Good Big Fluffy LDL" and Increase HDL, the Big fluffy LDL is Good because it is to large to do any damage Unlike the small LDL that does all the Damage. The Body Must have Cholesterol, and Lots of it is Very Healthy. Dr. Berg explains the two types of LDL
@@jerry-ny7hs Thanks for this. HDL is high and triglycerides are low. I think I need to find a test for small LDL.
Bill Spires I think it’s irrelevant
I wish you could educate my 30 something year old doctor.
😆 No kidding!
LOL millennials-IN GENERAL-aren't the brightest bulbs.
Was this a magic video or just good timing...lol....and then on my computer you and Dr Berry was up next...that was a good video as well...Thanks for this video Dr Boz...(I will be ordering the omega 3 test too)...don't forget when I am out by you... after I get the RV... I will be coming to see you as a paying patient:)
After I saw my cholesterol levels result I panic right away, and I quit keto diet😢 I have to go bag then, right?
so according to this videos, vldl is not dangerous as ldl?
Correct. The large buoyant VLDL release energy & cholesterol to all our cells. Once they get small & dense, they are supposed to get returned to the liver. However when insulin is high, they liver doesn't want them and they stay in the blood & get oxidized and cause damage. Especially to the walls of our arteries.
How do I discuss this with my endo when my A1C goes down, but cholesterol goes up and they want to put me on statins?
Exactly, with keto diet my total cholesterol reached 530 mg/dL and FAA Doc put me on statins.
I am in Australia my doctor said my tryglicerides up slightly what does he mean a little He offered statins I am confused?
After one year of a low carb diet and mostly carnivore now, I lost over 20 lbs and now have a normal weight, low fasting blood sugar, low insulin, normal triglycerides, and normal HDL, my cholesterol and LDL are through the roof. I’m consistently producing Ketones at 0.2 to 0.3. Could it be that my liver is still full of triglycerides? Liver enzymes are all normal.
Cardiologist says I’m eating too much red meat (which I don’t think I am). I reading about hyper responders. Any opinions out there?
Dr. Boz talked about depleting glycogen from the liver but what about triglycerides? Did I miss something?
If one on keto Carnivore diet, non hdl and LDL slightly a bit high and didnt fast for twelve hours before take the test. What does this mean ? If this ok ? Thanks
My cholesterol got high a year ago because of my thyroid. I have not checked it recently and started keto a month ago. Any advice
my bad cholesterol 280 and everything else perfect in my blood work. my doctor want me to take statin meds but i don’t want it.
My ldl went to 301. Ldl 301 TC 372 hdl 50 triglycerides 118 vldl 21. First labs since starting keto. Doctor freaked. Prescribed statin. Took 40 mg of lipitor for 18 days for my wife. Stopped it with brain fog and kidney pain.
@@fiddlestyx21 Have you been tested again? Better? I just got a result of 263 LDL and 345 total. I've been on keto almost 3 months.
How do we know if we have high cholesterol.
The mosquitoes will flock to you at the outdoor BBQ lol
Always do them in dr checks
Hi there, I love your videos. My LDL is even higher this time than last time it’s 262, triglycerides are 65, my HDL is 90 and my lipids total is 356. What do you think I can do without going on a Staten? My doctor tells me I am aGood candidate for one, especially with family history. She also tested my fluffy LDL’s and they are very high, into the 2000s. I’m 62 and live a healthy lifestyle. What do you think I can do to lower them?
do not worry about your cholesterol ,its the good fluffy cholesterol anyway,,,however if you are eating carbs and sugar ,,then its a problem ,,because y our body will make AGE;S ,,,and then you have a problem !!!!
One important metric is your HDL/ Triglyceride ratio, 1/1 is the goal. You are better than that I wouldn’t worry
my ldl is 133, hdl 62 , tg 394 . is it any better than yours? and how is your situation now?
For those of you that have lowered carbs, to a keto-like level or a bit higher, like 100g/day - can you comment on your BP? Has it changed from before? Up or down? Also, Dr. Box mentions triglycerides in the blood with regard to eating fats but I was under the impression that carb intake drove triglyceride levels and fat intake drove LDL levels. Can anyone clarify that? Thanks.
Mine went from 150/95 without meds before Keto to a perfect 115-120/80. I’ve always had borderline high BP. If you get rid of inflammation your BP will go down. It happened in a couple of weeks for me. Dropped the BP med dose by half and then stopped. By 1 month hopefully you’ll see the best numbers if you’re strict. No cheat days. No BS fake keto boxed crap. Real food only.
The video was partially incorrect. Fats you consume are packaged into triglycerides inside a vessel called a chylomicron. These fats travel from the intestine, through your lymphatic system, and enter your bloodstream through a portal vessel near your heart. Carbohydrates you consume enter straight to your bloodstream as glucose. Excess glucose gets converted to triglycerides by the liver, and then they are packaged into lipids called VLDL. So triglycerides come from both sources, but becomes more problematic when on the standard American diet where excess carbs is the norm.
Hi, I've been doing keto for about 2 years now and OMAD for 1. Lots of improvement in many markers..
BUT-- my LDL has shot up and stayed there, > 200. (even with low fasting insulin 2.6 - 3.2)
I am Apoe3/4 so I think that might play into it.
Hey Jake, my LDL shot up also. There is nothing wrong with that. There is a blood test you can take that separates a large particle LDL from small LDL. The large is beneficial for you the small is harmful. My small LDL was 331 in a range of 0 to 525. My cardiologist said I did not have a cholesterol issue at all.
@@ronaldgibson4052 thanks a lot man...
i'm going to get that cholesterol separation test,
very interesting. that'll give me peace of mind...
The video title says she was going to explain why cholesterol levels go up on a keto diet. She did not explain it. she did not even stay on topic.
She did explain
It’s because you’re using up all the glucose and fat and it takes time for this to happen so you basically don’t test for cholesterol cos your blood is going to be full of it
It should settle down once your weight stabilises
It’s happen8ng to me right now
I’ve lost 11 kilos and I’m not a big person and my cholesterol sky rocketed from 5.8 to 9 🥹
I’m not worried
I’m getting my heart checked again and if my calcium score is zero again as it was last year and if the angiogram shows no structural damage I’m fine
Blood pressure is good
Trigs are low
Sugar is fine
Weight is good
I’m doubting whether I’m in danger of stroke or heart attack
Bravo
Dr....pls can you reply to all..they gave thêre time to you pls rêspect thêre time and reply. Thanks
She is a doctor with patients giving free education on you tube. TH-cam isn’t her job.
@hosephine1 no she is a Dr selling her program Marketing herself as a expert selling her program / products
So many videos on all sorts of media, how to read n reply....you try reading all the comments in all her videos, n you time d it🤣🤣🤣
She never answers questions...always talks her stuff and thats it
Spritee Spritee123 How much free time do you think she has, balancing a family with teenagers, husband, elderly parent, a full specialist doctors practice, a TH-cam channel educating all of us, without charge etc, etc!? Join her Consistently Keto courses, helping her do what she does best, as I know she has personally answered questions my wife had for her. Give her a break please, especially if she can’t find your question amongst the thousands of comments on her hundreds of TH-cam video. I agree, what she does is superhuman, but under all of that knowledge, she remains a wonderful helping human...
I should have added I have been on Jeto since Feb 2019 and feel great...so does one who stays on the keto lifestyle just have high Cholesterol Levels (LDL) ? Thanks.
Some do.Ive been keto 2 years and my total cholesterol is 320 but my HDL is high 97 and triglycerides low 100 so Im not concerned nor will I take a Statin. Brain function needs cholesterol and I believe dementia and Alzheimer's increase is because of statin use
@@jerry-ny7hs 97 HDL what do you attribute that to... same question with triglycerides ? What are you eating?
Unable to change after decades😂
DR Boz, it will help a lot if you don't try to vroom your words. I mean summarise what process you are saying and just use as few words as possible to say it. This is much more attractive!! Somehow I just keep focusing on those oh so " exciting" words you like to add-in. I mean you have had so much time to think, why do you keep turning up the emotions again and again. Can I just have a list of what you want to say..It doesn't always have to be a fast moving movie or excitement and more cries and oohs ahhhs man that was too much...! Why can't you just be more serious more "understated", like some of the other doctors..This happened and as a matter of fact there was this. Please cut out so much emotional ahs or ohs etc.etc..You cannot be describing the actual change of the actual chylomicrons. Just say, it becomes this and that, full stop..No need for added excitement 😄 What is with all that extra sounds or fast talking? Why? Imagine you are just explaining how to boil an egg so that it is half boiled.. Literally I will just explain that we want to keep the egg in the boiling water for 6 minutes, from room temperature. Please don't say how the boiling water reminds you of sea waves when driving along SanDiego and what the sounds was like with Seagulls overhead etc.. Actually I want to listen to what you are saying but I get so distracted. I am sorry if this feedback is disturbing. Just forget it!
