I'm Dr Neil Skolnik and today I'm going to talk about the American Heart Association's (AHA's) latest guidelines on the management of elevated triglycerides. www.medscape.c...
Fantastic and excellent. Have you cut out all seed oils, sugars, carbs and processed products ? In fact, have you tripped over Carnivore yet ? I wish you good health and prosperity.
@@adelarsen9776 no i still eat everything but in moderation yes I cut on oils only do avocado and olive oil and also stated doing way more exercise almost everyday at less 30 minutes
You're on the right track. You get healthy to lose weight - You don't lose weight to get healthy. Also, beware of the saying "everything in moderation" - Would you eat poison in moderation ? 2 more things which are also wrong are Balanced Diet and Calories In Calories Out. Eat a Proper Human Diet. Eat human food. Eat the food of your ancestors. The closer to Paleo Man we get the healthier we become. Perhaps look into Carnivore. Cut out inflammation :-) @@tonylg3840
Please, find videos by Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg. They cover how to accomplish this. Basically refrain from breads, sugars, carbohydrates. They also cover in detail diets to follow. I began doing this and dropped mine by 70 points the first go round. You really have to investigate the contents of what you eat - how my sugar added.
Statins are really bad for you, they would stop your liver from producing cholesterol, and cholesterol is esencial to the body. 20% of the cholesterol is in the brain to keep it healthy, when you use statins, you are blocking the cholesterol going to your brain, causing brain issues, like memory loss foggy brain and more. Cholesterol goes up when something is wrong with your body, because cholesterol is a big part of the body's response to repair. Just get in the sauna for 20 minutes 1 day (ideally, 4 to 7 days) a week at 174 Farenheit. Do your search.
hey, great to hear, I have the same TG levels as you had ( 450-500 ) and I'm trying to find alternatives before taking fibrates, the idea of taking a medicine that breaks fat seems scary specially considering animals male humans are 15-25% made of fat anyways, did you have cheat meals with carbs or something? did you actually went absolutely zero carbs? what about carb-less green vegetables like lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower? since they have negligible amount of digestible carbs, did you try introducing them to your diet? all my other blood-markers are fine, what about your other blood-markers back then? and now? sorry for the extensive questions, peace and joy
My high triglycerides are over 6000 on a regular basis. I am having some unusual side effects. It appears to cause tendon pain. I get trigger finger at least once a year and when I take Tricor (fenofibrate) I can only tolerate this or statins for a few months before it's too painful. Test results appear to indicate that I don't have muscle damage.
I had high triglycerides and cholesterol for decades although I'm 56yo 6ft 170lbs and exercised quite often. No matter the low fat diet, Omega 3 supplements or medication I took, or exercise I did, nothing worked until I cut ALL carbs and sugars out of my diet, including fruits, vegetables and particularly alcohol (beer, wine, etc). In fact, I went 100% carnivore (the best quality beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs and cheese I could afford) and eat once or twice a day until full (OMAD) with 18hr intermittent fasting at least once every two weeks. I went from somewhat high glucose (150) and triglycerides at 400+ 6 months ago (my record was 1500s in Sept22!) to less than 100 presently as of last week and lost some 20+ lbs (down from 190+) without much exercise other than walking daily as I'm still recovering from back fusion surgery. My LDL and total Cholesterol are somewhat high still but not of concern BECAUSE I have my triglycerides and blood glucose are under control. This is what worked for me. Best of luck to all facing triglycerides challeges. Check out KenDBerryMD YT channel for info!
The question is can you keep it off if you integrate carbs back into your diet? For some reason I have high triglycerides and I don't drink, I eat low fat diet, have a lot of protein in my diet.

@@pooshpoosh9232 Yes. 1year on Jan1, zero carbs (well except the few grams of bioavailable glucose that come in eggs or cheese). Controlling your fasting glucose and trigs is more important than the rest of the cholesterol levels. They're going to settle to where they need to be depending on what your body is going through (illness, infection, stress, cancer even). After a few months, I eventually switched to 100% carnivore, lion to be exact (cow meat only) because I'm also battling multiple myeloma. Cancer is on Stage1 so I have bunch of options and I'll be OK, the Lord willing, but I want to stay in continuous ketosis and as clean diet as possible. After a while, I got curious after one of Dr. Boz videos and bought a blood ketone meter. Well, I found out that, even though I was carnivore, I wasn't entering ketosis! WTH?! lol. It turned out I was eating too much protein to enter ketosis. Excess protein gets converted to glucose and then stored or burned before ketones, that's my understanding of it. So, I cut back a bit on the # of meat consumption (settled at about 12 oz of beef OMAD for me at 6ft 153lbs 56yo and fairly active) and increased the fat a bit (70f/30p) an boom! ketosis of 1.0+ all day, up to 3 or 4 if I exercised. The triglycerides then really went down to well below 100, LDL got up in the 200s and fasting glucose even better in the low 70s. I also feel lots, lots more energy now, wow. I'm no doctor but my recommendation is not to take the fibrates or any statin in fact. In my experience, after a year on those (Tricor), I started to suffer from muscle pains and tone and didn't help with trigs levels anyways. It can also affect your gallbladder and make you not digest fat as well. I went directly from standard diet to carnivore and to put up with diarrhea and slight low energy on week 2-3. I didn't really knew about this back then. I would suggest to wean yourself out of carbs so you don't go through the 'keto flu'. I wasn't a big carb eater to begin with, so it wasn't as bad as some ppl describe and I guess the severity effects will vary depending on how hooked on carbs one is. Moderating carbs might work ppl with autocontrol, I can't moderate for crap so I went head first, lol. Hope this helps you and best of luck!
Be careful fake sugar drinks, Tri went up after drinking an energy drink with no sugar! So now im wondering about those packet drinks with fake sugar too? Sorry but if anyone has AIC below 6 shouldn't be put on statin, since it messes with your muscle and is causing severe knee pain for me. Also causes muscle weakness.
Taking coenzyme Q10 would sort the muscle pain but statins are so bad. Try cutting all refined carbs and all sugar, incl. "diet" sugars as they too spike an insulin response hours later so folk eat more. (See Dr Rob Lustig for the evidence, esp. on Huberman's podcast.) Tongue thinks great, sugar coming, produces insulin which is then lethal.
So if you have high triglycerides you make the patient susceptible to early cognitive decline with statins. How much does exercise reduce the triglycerides?
Often times we recommend diet and exercise but we don't give specific guidance to our patients. What specific dietary or exercise recommendations do you give? I tend to recommend the Mediterranean diet and also at least 150 minutes of rigorous or 300 minutes of moderate exercise a week

100% right. Cutting out all carbs, seed oils, sugars and processed products (and fruit and veg) is the way to fix triglycerides. I wish you great metabolic health. I am carnivore too.@@FredLarracuente
I exercise 3 times a week where I work out with weights for about 90 minutes and walk about an hour. I drink alcohol maybe 3 times a year. I take fish oil. I eat about a 1500 calorie a day diet. I am 5' 8" and my weight is 158 pounds. But I consistently have high triglycerides averaging about 760. The highest recorded for me was around 2180. A couple years ago, I did a 30 day water only fast and my triglyceride leves were at 362.. What are your recommendations?
I have low HDL but my triglycerides are twice as much as they should be. History of stroke and heart episode. A1c has dropped to 10 from 12.8 high was in December low was in may. What can I do?
My gallbladder has been removed since 2008 . I had the same symptoms as yours. I wake up in the morning and after 3 hours I feel tired and want to go back to sleep again. I feel kind of tired all the time especially when I come back home from a trip. In 2016 I went in colonoscopy and I told my doctor about my symptoms of diarrhea. He prescribed a prescription for me and that is a cholestyramine for oral (4gram) . I take One pack a day . I took a medication. I felt like I won a lottery. It just feels like I was a sleeping beauty and someone waking me up. I found the right doctor and the right medication for me. I am still taking it if I stop it for two or three days the symptoms will come back. One pack a day only not 2 packs. Good luck let me if it help you in anyway.
I lost 35 lb , cut my carb and sugar. My triglycerides down to 177 without statin vs 275-325 with statin. 177 is without doing any exercise and less sleep. I do not eat bread for days, very little sugar in my diet.
Th correct answer is Insulin and Carbohydrates is what makes TRIGS. Cut out all seed oils, sugars, carbs and processed products. A clean carnivore diet will fix everything.
5 1 2023 my triglycerides are 200 and I can’t seem to get them down I’m 6 ‘ tall and 187 male. I started running 1 mile a day and taking 2000 iu of fish oil a day how long would it take to see a reduction
ok, it's your choice to be unhealthy. Just make sure you cut out all Seed Oils, Sugars, Carbs and Processed Products. At least clean up your diet. Vegetarians and vegans are sick because they don't eat meat. Your health is more important than an ideology.@@ranapratapsingh3416
@@ranapratapsingh3416 Well if you're vegetarian and you're seeing such high triglycerides then it tells you that the vegetarian diet is not the healthiest for your body. You're not a vegetarian, you're eating a vegetarian diet. Try to put your health first and adjust accordingly because those are alarming levels.
I got everything normal, but triglycerides at 156, I have thyroid issues, a healthy lifestyle and diet, I exercise not by choice, cycling, eat more carbs because my weight lowered below the usual 50kg per height 1,61, I have a hard time to gain more weight. What the heck should I do?
Doctor, what one can do if they have triglycerides running in family history and dont even eat much omand staying away from fatty foods but sometimes sees really high spikes in triglycerides that hospitalizea them. It goes over 1000 to 1500 . Physically look very thin and not fat at all . Is it the pancreatitus issue ?
Hey. Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
I've not seen one reply from Dr. Neil Skolnik to any one of the comments listed below. That is very disturbing to me. I won't be subscribing to this Channel. As for me, well my recent lipid profile was the worst I've seen since my heart attack in 1995 - My Triglyceride level is 313, and all other perimeters of the lipid profile were just as alarming. Most disturbing is that I have no idea how this happened because my Lipid Profile of 11/22 was all within normal range. Any ideas?
It is hard for any MD to just help anyone by not talking with them and seeing them and maybe even dong tests . This is just my feelings on it I think he gives an overall five of it all?
Don't eat carbs, seed oils, sugars and processed products. Only eat human food like fatty red meat. Try Carnivore Diet - you'll get healthy. I promise.
Sir which medicine raise triglycerides me 56yer old taking Metformin 500with pioglitazone 15mg my triglycerides is 390 me active on diet control please advise some changes.
Salaam you should try metformin and one of these two drugs: SGLT-2 inhibitors (I would recommend Empagliflozin) or GLP-1 agonist drugs. But consult your physician too for detailed medicines review. Pioglitazones are old drugs and you can get better ones now. I wouldn't use Pioglitazones
He is taking Metformin and Pioglitazone, both for his blood sugar as anti-diabetic drug. If he replaces pio with an sglt-2i that would give CV benefits and there is evidence of TG improvement. Multiple aspects will be covered!
