0:00 Intro
00:40 LDL reduction treatments has a minimal, marginal and inconsistent benefit with overall reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality and incidence of stroke.
01:15 Heart disease was the leading cause of mortality, even during the pandemic. It was a leading risk factor behind age and obesity in severe COVID.
02:05 Triglycerides and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins tend to be more atherogenic. They are also linked with insulin resistance. If you are on a Statin or told to be on one, check your ApoB to A1 ratio. It is an inexpensive test.
04:40 When you are insulin resistant, there are more triglyceride molecules compared to cholesterol esters.
05:17 The Friedewald equation does not account for triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
06:00 A decrease in triglycerides is a reflection of improvement in metabolic health.
06:36 Post-prandial increase in atherogenesis and heart disease is linked more closely to remnant lipoproteins and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
07:15 Triglycerides fluctuate. Levels of 60 to 70 is what Mike recommends to clients. Get a baseline. Test while fasted. Next time, do a lipid load test. Before you test, consume a typical mixed meal with 60 to 70 grams of fat.
09:00 The degree of your insulin resistance is reflected in your post-meal triglyceride level. When your liver becomes infiltrated with fat, there will be a dramatic increase in post-meal triglyceride levels.
09:36 Post-meal triglyceride levels should be under 220 mg/dl. Levels over that reflect an inability to process post-meal fats.
10:00 LDL particles also carry triglycerides. They can become enriched in triglycerides. Low LDL does not tell you about your cardiometabolic risk.
10:55 Exercise is one of the best ways to lower your triglycerides. Eat a low carb diet. Improve sleep quality and circadian rhythm. Cold exposure/thermal stress can help. Fasting and supplementing with myoinositol and berberine can help.

A better lecture. Keep it up, mostly. I suspect strongly this dedicated semi-sincere host is beholden more to ideology than Truth and self-empowering health. Could it be one doesn't bite the hand that feeds it be they dairy, eggs and especially meat industry? They certainly have fewer better young articulate charismatic influencers to persuade the next generation and rope in some of the older ones. I suspect this host wants to justify his own habit of eating animals, their eggs and lactation and he feels better if more were like him. So I learn carefully what he says and what he avoids very consistently. And consistently he avoids the role of animal based diets and grilling, browning and crisping them, with regard to the rising tsunami of science, empirical and heuristic knowledge associated or causing damage to the consumers genetic material, the intimal lining of the vasculature and microvascular beds around all essential organs, and how the damage the so called lock and key system of insulin and cells and to muscles, pancreas, liver and other organs accumulating to much fat and insulin stimulation. Why would such an earnest, productive purveyor and distributor of nutrition health and politics and policy be so neglectful, so willingly? I realize he wants people to avoid or not need so called Western or allopathic medicine, though he is entirely dependent upon their research, but he pushes hard on out of natural context, tho$e chemical concentrate$, which actually aren't traditionally consumed by mammals in that form, called supplement$ - nutraceutical$ - vitamin$ and mineral$ to treat and prevent. Of course I realize that a grateful audience isn't a monetarily generous one most of the time, too, and he needs diverse revenue stream. I realize the more honest he is the more likely he will not be monetized and many advertisers won't support him. Yet many others will support him especially if he persists with patients and integrity. We already see he has an audience count too man would nearly sell their soul and die for. But WE KNOW that the U$ "$upplement" bz is one of the most corrupt, unregulated oversold rackets there is for "con$ume®$, and likely uncecessary with proper individualized rest, diet, movement, flexibility, dexterity, balance, purpose, vocation and community, safety and legality. And this is especially so, if We can keep improving the quality of air water and soil, including all practices that provide humanity, their pets and livestock water and nutrition. Unfortunately the degradation of everything on the planet that naturally sustains us is being wrecked at exponential rates completely consistent with burning everything possible to generate energy and stuff following precisely the ridiculous most existentially deadly calculated GDP of countries, that ultimately externalizes and ignores and distorts what matters most. Today is a new day and today we are each awakened as a unique person than the day before, one day and one set of breaths and heartbeats, closer to inevitable death. I encourage our generous improving host to rectify and make more comprehensive, more complete and more forthcoming, his instruction and that ALL who can benefit, do, better, and thus be good to themselves, others, and all creatures and microbes, great and small, and especially, our only known beautiful amazing and always all satisfying Earth.

Yep. Bottom line: You want low triglycerides, low vLDL and a high HDL. Total chol. and LDL are irrelevant. You achieve this by greatly reducing/eliminating ultra-processed foods (stop snacking), adhering to a low-carb/sugar diet and by doing some exercise. It's that simple.

@JonesJensen 2 года назад

One important message you forgot: LDL goes UP the more active you are. LDL also goes up the longer you fast. LDL also goes up the more weight you lose. So essentially, going low carb, starting exercise and losing weight will sky rocket your LDL. Which is a really good thing, don't get me wrong. I really like the work that Dave Feldman has done, makes a lot of sense. But it's important to note why these changes are happening, if you ever want to "win" the discussion about cholesterol with your doctor. And if they tell you that eating more fat raises your LDL, ask them which biomechanism triggers this. (Hint, there are none, it's just returning to a normal level, after being supressed by lack of fat in the diet.)

@Paul__108__ 2 года назад

The first and the third are temporary. I’m not sure about the second. Reasonably low LDL is good (all else being equal-high HDL, low triglycerides). But the insane goal for statin therapy is dangerously close to the numbers associated with cancer. If you have serious concerns (family history of heart disease or diabetes), you can test for particle size or number. [NOT medical advice.] Hope this helps.

@FutureLaugh 2 года назад

can you please provide sources

@JonesJensen 2 года назад

@@Paul__108__ Is activity temporary? And is weight loss temporary? Mine is pretty permanent, both exercise and my weight loss - and my LDL is still pretty high, so I must admit I don't understand your comment on this. (Your LDL will also drop significantly after a heavy workout, supporting the theory that LDL particles are used as "building material" when they are done with their other roles.) You can look into "Lean mass hyper responder" if you are curious about this. To the second point, LDL levels is about the energy expenditure. The more fat you mobilize from your fat stores, the higher your LDL, it's pretty simple once you understand the mechanics behind it. It's not about the food you eat, it's about where you energy metabolism is. The more fat you eat, the lower your LDL goes, because you start expending the energy from the food instead of what you have stored on/in your body. I do not agree with your comment about low LDL. All (proper) evidence points towards higher LDL being associated (yes, I know, correlation, not causation) with lower mortality. I'll take sky-high LDL ANY day over low LDL. But you are correct, it's the level of TG/HDL that is really important, as Dr. Paul Mason & Prof. Robert Lustig talks about. Mine is way below the "you're gonna live forever" break-point, so I honestly don't care that my LDL is off the charts. And I do agree with you, it's about the particle size. And the TG/HDL is a very good indicator of this (and also of your level of insulin resistance as mentioned in the video), to see how many sdLDL's are floating around your body - again, I have very, very few. Which brings me to another point when people ask me about my cholesterol, I ask them which number they are worried about, usually they reply with LDL - to that I usually ask them how many different types of LDL there are, to which they cannot reply - indicating they have no idea what they are talking about. I appreciate your concern, I am not concerned though, but thanks anyway :-)

Everything I know I've gathered from Dr. Paul Mason, Prof. Robert Lustig, Dave Feldman along with many others, but on these topics specifically.

It's not the fat people should be worried about, it's the carbs. Depending on your body type, you can get away with eating a fairly high fat diet and your bloodwork will be phenominal. The carbs are what drive the trygliceride levels through the roof

@joshuasharrock466 Год назад

@@bkohler89 that may be true but don't go too far the other way. We are omnivores. Before the invention of the airplane about nine months out of the year we had to be carnivores because we couldn't fly in fruits and vegetables in the winter time... So yes a diet 70% animal product is in my opinion perfect. However as a species we always procreated in the spring time when carbs were available. Your body can make its own sugar but you really don't have to go through gluconeogenesis all day... It's survivable but not optimal . The only way to evolve is to get the most amount of nutrients and omnivores get the best of both worlds.

@lcolon5606 Год назад

I find there's no real discussion or education about cholesterol and it get confusing but always quick to recommend the statins. My triglycerides just went down after so many years and dr was unimpressed. I know I have a way to go but no reassurance because of family history and respects that I don't want to take pills but even so why test if you will just say take this?! I will continue to get triglycerides down (I think my walking, yoga and taking cod liver oil helped but I will do more)

I have similar numbers to yours. Total:301, HDL:103, TG:49. Normal BP. A1C 5.4. My GP thankfully is very educated for a mainstream GP and does an advanced lipid panel on me every year to see the particle sizes and numbers. They are are all spot on and he never said a word about statins. I am 43 and he doesn't recommend the calcification score test yet. He thinks in younger people it can be false negative because the plaque didn't stick to the arteries yet. He thinks I should do it closer to 46-47. I am very athletic and muscular and have no visceral fat based on my DEXA. I just wish medical society stopped this 'LDLD gonna kill ya" thing. Even knowing what I know, it makes me stress a bit.

Mike, very interesting video and info. I'm a 71 yo man, and have had high Cholestrol for over 10 years - with LLDs over 130+. My Trigs were consistently around 200. In 2018, my Gallbladder was removed. After my 2021 Annual Physical showed my LDLs at 145 my PCP "scared" me into starting Zetia (I tried a mild dosage of a Statins a few years before, and My calfs cramped up in 3 days - threw them out the window). I failed to take the Zetia regulalry as prescribed (10 MG -1 X aday). I would take 1 pill than forget, etc. The blood test taken about 2 months later showed that the levels rose to 165. Then I took them regulalry, 1 X a day. Another blood test done about 6 weeks later - showed they did go down to 138, BUT my TRIG were over 400!! The doctor (who is retired now) said Not To Worry about that now. I'm in the midst of finding a replacement PCP / Internist. The info on TRIGs is very interesting and makes a great deal o sense. My CRP is 2 . I do suffer with a number of Spinal Issues includimng Stenosis at a number of levels in my spine, Facet Joint arthritis everywhere, Disc Bulges at multiple levels, OA in my Knees, Hips, and fingers.

Triglycerides come in a wide range of chain lengths. C6 thru C10 chains are good (ie MCT), longer chains not so good. It is good to do your research on the foods your eating and know if they are rich in Medium Chain or Long Chain Triglycerides. If you are eating low carb/healthy keto you are already reducing LCTs. Intermittent fasting is also an awesome tool for reducing the effects of LCT.

On sunday my father had a heart attack. He's a former world champ, extremely fit 55yo male, eats a mix between mediterrian-style diet and SAD - usually "healthy" but enjoys chips and chocolate every now and then. For a few months he's been feeling something off and finding himself strangely out of breath. For his bloodwork, he had "perfect" results for everything, but I actually questioned it because I felt that the triglicerides were high at 110 for someone as active and fit as him. I didn't know much about it, but mine are around 30 so intuitively assumed he should be under 80 at least. Then he suddenly collapsed and was taken to the ICU. Apparently the top to the bottom on the right side of his heart was just not transmitting. And the ventricles aren't pumping right and is very inefficient. His ejection ratio is low 30s. The doctors are calling it ideopathic - they have no idea, they think maybe there could be some sort of infection. They put a pacemaker in him, and he is about to be discharged after nearly a week of monitoring. He refuses to even try a low carb diet, but I'm still trying to convince him to at least give it a go. He has an autoimmune disorder that he's in denial about that passed onto me in an even more debilitating form - I could barely function as a human and was permanently sick and injured until I started a carnivore WOE. He doesn't even want to consider that lifestyle could be a factor here, he wants to just blame it on an unknown infection or something. I love my dad, and don't want him to die. But I don't know what I can say to him anymore if he won't listen. And I'm convinced that his autoimmune disorder plays a role in this - he also needs to live a restrictive lifestyle especially as he ages.

I feel the need to share this... So the fact that I had blood work done about 3 weeks ago, I had a triglyceride number of 415. And yes, I was fasting. It has completely scared the crap out of me like you would not believe. I am 6 foot tall, 240 lbs and I live a sedentary desk job work life. I also noticed I been having new onset of anxiety the past few months that I've never had before. I knew something wasnt right and Im glad I went to the doctor. Could the anxiety be linked? WHo knows. I have since made radical changes to my diet to INCLUDE more fiber and carbs from whole wheat bread, eating plain shredded wheat cereal, almonds and peanuts, and eating vegetables more. I used to snack at work all the time (salt and vinegar chips, oreos) out of pure boredom, not exactly from hunger. I also have started walking to work when it's nice out (it's a 10 minute walk, I really should walk more instead of driving). I have noticed that since I changed my diet, the anxiety has dropped to almost non-existent. I dropped nearly 10 pounds since that doctors visit (I was 249). I go back to the doctor for a proper physical in a few weeks and I look forward to sharing the results at that time. I'm REALLY hoping the numbers will dwindle.

what exactly is the issue with high triglycerides? I have read that if you are on keto diet releases triglycerides into the blood from fat cells found this Niacin's effect on triglycerides is among the best of the agents available. In patients with hypertriglyceridemia and modest LDL-C elevations, niacin lowers triglyceride levels 20% to 50% and LDL-C about 20% at a 2-g/d dose (Figure 2).

@brettalexander5585 2 года назад

I know this isn't necessarily a muscle building/workout channel. However I was wondering if he has done a video on the effects of spreading out lifting weights. I was walking 1 straight hour per day for cardio and found myself sort of burnt out or unmotivated to continue so what I did was start doing two 30 minute minimum or sometimes 45 minute walks to my day at say Noon to 2Pm an within an hour of a meal and then again at evening after my 2nd to last meal. maybe 5-7pm. It has seemed to help me stay focused on getting my cardio in and walking after each meal. I am to the point where I'm 90lbs down and want to begin strength training as well to the cardio each day. Instead of working out right after one long walk, I wanted to try to break up my days workout between the two cardio sessions. For instance If I'm doing upper body/chest. I do maybe Biceps and Shrugs and shoulders after one walk, and then Triceps/Pecs/Abs in the next session. The reason being is that I'm sort of afraid after being lethargic for so long and not lifting for literally years that It might affect my blood sugar being lower. I am not a diabetic and saw a endocrinologist for what I believe to be blood sugar issues. After seeing her and showing her some numbers I had during cardio she is comfortable that it is likely not although I still keep 'feeling blood sugar type surges' in around eating food. I have started lifting and do notice my blood sugar numbers are 10pts lower as opposed to just doing cardio and walking. It's a good thing but I'm still getting used to it. I think the issue I might be having is in regards to electrolytes/water intake which I m seeing a doctor about or perhaps a issue with the Throat which I saw a ENT about and am addressing. I was wondering if anyone has any input on how to burn more fat throughout the day and if this is effect as opposed to doing the entire workout right after cardio. I'm actively trying to lose weight and currently at 292-295ishlbs down from 381lb in about a year. Hopefully that rant makes sense. In addition when should I take protien or the keto collagen peptide (type 2) that I've been to best be used by my body? Thanks!

@3rod3reelfishing19 2 года назад

You’re essentially correct in everything you’re saying. Those of us who are “into lipids” have been preaching about the superiority of ApoB/LDLp over cholesterol for years. My issue here however is that you need to add a caveat about people with very high LDL cholesterol. Basically >200. LDLc at those levels indicate potential HeFH and confer greatly increased CV risk even if the person is otherwise “healthy”. I’ve seen several people commenting on this video and others on this topic with LDLc in the 200-300 range thinking they’re fine. So please remind people that in those cases they should confer with their health provider and/or a lipid specialist.

Hi Mike. I am a huge fan of yours. I've been watching you for a couple of years. I am a middle aged female, in (excellent) physical health with almost zero body fat. I run several miles at least a couple of days a week, often on three or four days. I lift or do calisthenics almost daily. My workouts are intense. I am on a consistently very low carb diet that features almonds, avocados, leafy greens, non-starchy uncooked vegetables, fatty fish, extra virgin olive oil. I am in ketosis often and practice intermittent fasting. I am consistently well hydrated, drinking only water. I never eat processed food, avoid starches and all sugars. By all measures, i am in excellent health. Last year I had a cardiovascular calcium score measure performed and I scored a perfect 0. My arteries were clear. However, recently my bloodwork revealed high triglycerides and VLDL---several hours post (protein/fat/0 carb) snack. My doctor didn't seem worried by these things. But what would you say? Should I have a retest? And what about getting an oxidized lipoprotein test as opposed to just an APO B test? What could cause high triglycerides (252) and VLDL when I am on such a strict low to no carb regimen and am quite fat-adapted? Could it have been the several slices of Swiss cheese I ate the morning before the bloodwork? The black coffee I drank?
