We have all heard that the secret to living a long, healthy, heart disease-free life is lowering your cholesterol, but is that really true? The reality is, most of us have little understanding about our cholesterol levels in our blood and the whole topic is much more complicated than we thought. Moreover, the standard cholesterol testing is outdated because it doesn’t check for particle size and particle number, and this information is what is needed to tell what’s really going on with your cholesterol. ⁣
⁣
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss why cholesterol is only one factor in determining your overall health. They also discuss the factors that influence your cholesterol and whether or not statin drugs are the most effective way to prevent heart attacks.⁣
⁣
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices functional medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the functional medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.⁣

I recently went to my doctor for my yearly blood test to get my thyroid meds renewed. During my visit, I asked my doc to order a fasting INSULIN level so that I could see how insulin resistant I was. I figured I was pre-diabetic. She REFUSED to order that test for me. she said they only order tests in order to do TREATMENT ( MEANING DRUGS). So, she was refusing to help me PREVENT getting diabetes, but would then treat me with drugs once I acquired it. I was gobsmacked! Needless to say, she is now my FORMER doctor.

@mjgrant1515 Год назад

my 48 year old daughter was told by her dr that she didn’t need a fasting insulin test. wish i’d told her to be more insistent & tell him she would pay for it out of pocket. even just as a BASELINE measurement, he should have requested it for her.

My mother in law turns 90 this year. She has cooked all her own food from scratch her entire life. No health issues other than arthritis in her knees from years of gardening. So when her doctor recently diagnosed her with high cholesterol and prescribed statins. This exact same scenario happened with my grandmother but she took the statins and guess what happened? Her always sharp mind deteriorated very quickly. So we learned our lesson and told my mother in law not to take them.

Glad to see and hear a very educational video stating that Cholesterol is only one cause of heart disease. I had my heart attack at 47 (over exerted myself), managed to get to the hospital pretty quick smart as opposed to waiting for an ambulance. A stent was inserted due to a clot, wasn't overweight, or anything like that, regular check ups with the local GP, just the usual, change your diet as Cholesterol was 5-6 range, blood pressure normal, no real exercise, although job was very stressful. Since the stent, changed diet, weight resistance training (light), and tossed the job in, no stress. Cardiologist and my local GP won't even look at me coming off my statin and blood pressure pill which is a let down, that said, they are the professionals that we all look up to and have to listen too. Heart attacks have been on my father's side, Dad, Uncle's and Aunties all going out in their 70's, Mums side is Diabetes, and of course I saw a dietician who ordered a glucose test and we found out that I was pre-diabetic, but my local GP wouldn't acknowledge it, suffice to say, I sometimes do wonder if these professionals look outside the square, e.g. I take Vitamin D3, K2, fish oil and a few others, just from my research and 15 years on am going strong, is it the diet, the statin, the resistance training and not having any stress in my life that's keeping me going, or all of the above ?

Thank You Dr. Hyman and Dr. Boham, for this great enlightening video/Podcast. I'm 70 YO, ladened with Spinal Arthritis, DDD, Facet Joint arthritis, and have had elevated Cholesterol for over 10 years +/-. My PCP, has been trying to get me on Statins since that time. Since before that time, my total Chol. was around 210-220 but had HDLs at 60+ . Then the number started to rise to 265 Total Chol. with LDLs at 146 in 2021. The Dr. put me on Zetia (Ezetimibe) since November. LDLs dropped to 122. per the updated Blood work done in February. I was a Pack a day smoker up until 4.5 years ago, now use a vape Juul. I do have atherosclerosis - 50% calcium blockage in 1 artery. BP is generally good 130-136 / over 26 -30. No Diabetes. But as your discussions here about INFLAMMATION - is Public Enemy NO.1. I have the Apple Shape - Belly fat. Insulin Resistance is the culprit. This is so consistent with so much other research on line. The evidence of the amount of Osteo arthritis I have (in the Spine, hips, knees, thumbs (encroaching there too), even in one ankle. I have always been a Anxious type perosn, including suffering Anxiety and Panic Attacks over the years On & Off. I'm going to send this Podcast to my Doctor - PCP - Internist for 20 years. There are Soooo many Pieces to the Puzzle. Head spinning actually.

I have been treated for high lipids since my early 30s. In the beginning I remember seeing values of 3200 triglycerides and 800 total cholesterol. I'm still alive at 68 after 30+ years of treatment with lipid lowering medications, among them gemfibroxil, fenofibrates, niacin, rosuvastatin and lately Repatha. The fight is still on, I do have some plaque buildup in the carotids and in both legs behind the knees, have been in a gym for the last 10yrs and have noticed how these medications have reduced my capacity to exercise. My cardiologist just issued a prescription for the particle test. My grandfather on my mother side died of a heart attack at the age of 55, I never met him. This is my story on a nutshell. Still working on the nutrition component. Any comments will appreciated.

One of the things that helped me lower my triglycerides is vitamin D and omega 3 supplement and other is switching my oils from canola and other agricultural oils to olive oil and avocado oil. Also switching to natural sweeteners like erythritol and monkfruit. Switching regular salt to Himalayan pink salt and eating whole wheat bread. More importantly doing intermittent fasting helps a lot and sometimes infuse that with keto

Hi Dr. Hyman and Dr. Boham. I realize this is a little off the subject but your video reminded me of this. About 40 years ago I attended a lecture that was given on heart disease by Dr. John McDoughal. He wrote several books about vegetarianism and heart disease and has a line of food products. I'm not sure if he's still around. During that lecture, he made a comment that a study was done on the circulatory system of winos that died at skid row somewhere - I can't remember. The winos were autopsied. This is a long time ago and Dr. McDougal was not making a recommendation, but he said in that study the winos blood vessels were found to be completely plaque-free. I remember that he also said that one of the takeaways because the winos drank alcohol on an empty stomach that it's was possible that something in the alcohol could be stripping the plaque from their arteries and veins. He also said that he suspected that if you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, the same thing may happen. Did anything ever come from that study?

Thanks for the informative talk. My doctor doesn't seem to understand or understand the reason for having any of the tests you mention. I am on an almost-keto diet eating no processed food and no sugar other than some fruit/berries and my triglycerides and HDL are excellent. Functional Medicine seems to be the way to go rather than just treating the symptoms with drugs instead of discovering the root cause. Unfortunately the mainstream medical profession doesn't accept functional medicine as being anything other than quackery, at least according to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_medicine) - you might like to update that page!

I have lost almost 10 pounds in less than 3 months, exercising every day with physical therapy and on my own. I am looking forward to my test in December for my A1C new results. My diet is conservative; I avoid most sugars and sad foods. I do however have a large amount of stress and have not give my body the good nutrients. So I am fixing that hoping for the best. By. the way, I refused the statin and do my own diet revamping and lifestyle-enhancing because I do not drink alcohol and do not smoke either.

I think a blocker for many to even listening to videos like this, as well as believing it, is to not appreciate that our societal systems are quite corrupted by commercial factors, group think and individual stupidity. It’s much easier to look back to more ignorant times and see how it went wrong, but those factors still apply.

I like the recommendation about Konjac Root pgx in shirataki noodles! I've heard triglycerides should be less than 50 mg/dL, and the Trig/HDL < 1... however, according to Thomas Dayspring, he suggests this only holds true for non-African descendants. He's also doesn't seem to favor the "Large Fluffy" and "Small dense" distinction. (BTW, Dr James Brown from Aston University recommends Apple Cider Vinegar to reduce triglycerides !) It's interesting that Niacin seems to raise HDL-C, and also lower Trigs, yet like statins, this doesn't seem to actually improve mortality rates. Instead, Tom would like to see how much triglycerides the LDL is carrying (as opposed to the amount of cholesterol its carrying). The other tests he likes is the OXPL oxidized phospholipids-ApoB and Uric Acid levels. Apparently, spiking the drinking water with Allopurinol (and perhaps lithium) might be better than adding fluoride. See his interview on the GeneFood podcast (32m/44m mark)!

Why should TG be less than 50 mg ? In which world? As long as TG / HDL ratio is perfect. I presume that people eating high fats diet with a lot of short and middle chain fatty acids have more TG in blood, because C4, C8-C12 like in butter and coconut oils do not need a lipo protein to be tramsported. My TG 75 g ( lot of coconut oil) and TG / HDL 0.67 These TG can't come from neo lipogenesis out of fructose because my carbs are 35 g per day, since years!

I think it would have been good to distinguish visceral fat (which is beneath the abdominal wall, close to your vital organs, and toxic) from subcutaneous fat, which may also be around the belly (muffin top), and can be pinched by fingers. I believe the only way to test your visceral fat status is to get a scan. Exercise is a secret weapon for removing this dangerous fat (but not your muffin top).

LDL is almost a pointless metric since you have small atherogenic particles that can lodge in the endothelium and large ones that have no contribution. Focus on cholesterol balance first ie TC/HDL. This metric will tell you if your body is efficient at removing cholesterol. Dogs for example have a large liver which allows them to eat huge amounts of cholesterol and their blood cholesterol is still fairly low. Triglycerides are important but only if they are above 125-150... combined with low HDL. There are plenty of studies on this.

Dr Malcolm Kendrick argues in "The Clot Thickens" that the lipids found within the walls of arteries have nothing to do with serum lipoproteins, but rather are the result of the breakdown of the lipid rich cell walls of red blood cells incorporated into the clots that form due damaged endothelium. Any condition that damages the arterial endothelium has the potential to result in clot formation and eventual atherosclerosis. The common denominator is endothelial damage followed by clot formation, which can be caused by a host of conditions such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disease, sickle cell anemia, and many others.

All, for cholesterol you will find that fiber makes a big difference on your lipid panel. Take organic Psyllium (Amazon) and organic Chia seeds (Walmart) before you eat anything in the AM and then again the very last thing you eat. Don’t start with too much but you should work your way up to 1 heaping tablespoon of each in one big glass of water. As it makes it’s way through your GI it cleans out a lot of undesirable compounds that will otherwise sit there until it gets in to your blood.

The root cause of small dense LDL is: Glycation Oxidation Polyunsaturated Fats(PUFA) make it prone to oxidation. High blood glucose makes it prone to glycation. Fructose is even worse. If your LDL isn't glycated or oxidized, it's level is inconsequential, and even is likely beneficial based on studies and longevity. Excess PUFA also causes metabolic Dysfunction at the mitochondrial level, making one more sensitive to carb intake. This is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes, and also cancer due to damage to the mitochondria. As for the inflammation.. it's a symptom, not the root cause. Dig deeper for root causes.

@Unsensitive 2 года назад

@@monokumannius4522 polyunsaturated fats are the primary root cause. They are not harmful by themselves of themselves, but increase inflammation when oxidized, which happens readily. Some, such as Linoleic Acid, damage the mitochondria. When oxidized, they produce toxic metabolites, structural damage to cell and mitochondrial membranes, and inflammation. A good way to think about the excess carbs and sugars, is that each person has a tolerance for these. This tolerance is based on metabolic health, which is primarily damaged by excess linoleic acid and other polyunsaturated fats. As you eliminate these from your diet, your metabolic health improves. Then you can tolerate more carbs and sugarnin your diet. This is generally takes years though, as the half-life of these fats in your cell membranes is 1 to 2 years. The average American has 10 to 20 times the ancestral level of these fats due to the vegetable/seed oil industry, as well as feeding monogastric animals, pigs, poultry, and fish, grain/seed food sources, instead of their natural diet.

I am no longer prediabetic, but my LDL cholesterol is gone from 170 to 220. My HDL was 95 and trigly 67 in my 3rd lab test. I have been 160-170 LDL for most of my life with no problems. I am 66 years old. My dr wants me on medication, and I keep refusing. She tells me all kinds of things trying to encourage me to take the med. Last time she was upset. She does the usual test and does base her suggestion on the usual lab report. I know that intermittent fasting and low-carb diets can have this effect in many people. I will have a CAC next week. I may have to find another dr, but most doctors base their knowledge on the same old findings. Otherwise, my labs were outstanding, and my vit D and B12 which have been low are now more than normal. I feel fine, not many aches and pain anymore increased energy. I may have to tweak my eating plan to decrease my IF by a couple days less and add a few legumes (as they are touted as good carbs). All I do is eat lots of veggies, salmon, tuna, chicken some cheese, eggs, and other good fats like OV (I do not want to eat too much fat). I also exercise almost every day. All I know is that we are not all created equal; nobody has died young from CVD in my close family. My dad was 89 when he had a HA, but he smoked and drink all his life (forgive me dad; I still love you, RIP). There is dM, obesity, and bp in my family from my mother's side; she is fairly stable at 84, with a few meds and no dm. Regardless of my insulin resistance problem, I do not have hypertension. Good thing I have a good understanding of the problem, and I am also a nurse with lots of research under my belt. Good video!
