@Witchofthewoods. 2 года назад

One question ❓ why is it said that cholesterol in the brain causes dementia?? Is it too much?

@Darnabymom 2 года назад

@@Witchofthewoods. probably referring to the plaque build up. Calcium and cholesterol go to sites of inflammation to try and heal the area. Usually the root cause is chronic hyperinsulinemia. Unfortunately many don’t know what the root cause is so they never stop the progression of damage. Note: calcium is sometimes pulled from the bones and teeth for other areas of inflammation. So osteopenia and osteoporosis are also a result of the inflammation.

In February I was urinating like crazy. I was spilling glucose to the point my a1C was 11.2. Full bore Type II diabetes was the diagnosis. Was given Jardiance and Rybelsus freebie samples but after 6 weeks of that regimen I punted and agreed to go on Metformin, the classic go to drug for diabetes. I realized that food got me in this mess and food would get me out. Completely modified my eating, fasted at least 12 hrs but most days it was as much as 14 hrs. My weight was 255 in February too, and that marked me as obese. By May I was down 25 lbs, and my a1C dropped to 6.5. My medical providers were blown away. Last week new bloodwork was better yet. Fasting glucose was 95, a1C now 5.5, weight 195lbs. My BP stays around 120-125 over 62 -72 on average. I turn 73 on Friday. I kicked diabetes to the curb.

I recently had labs/bloodwork done, because I was curious as to how two and a half years of IF/Keto/LC had affected my health. Back in 2018, I had lab results that showed high triglycerides, high LDL, all kinds of bad markers. I had stage 3 hypertension, was taking all kinds of drugs for HBP (none of which really worked), I was clearly suffering with metabolic syndrome (likely pre-diabetic), had developed numbness in my fingertips, and was 80 pounds heavier, etc. My health was declining rapidly, and all my doctor could do is offer more drugs. Fast-forward to a few months ago ... After two and half years of IF/Keto/LC, I had labs drawn. Needless to say, it was pretty shocking. My HDL was significantly higher, HDL/LDL ratios were perfect. BP went from 195/97 to 115/70. Triglycerides were low/normal. The funny thing: My doctor said something like, "You must be staying away from fat and eggs." To which I replied: "Actually, no. I eat more fat and eggs now than I've ever eaten in my entire life." Which prompted a whole discussion on low carb diets, weight loss, etc., and the fact that I hadn't been sick since late 2018. She still nodded and pretended like she knew everything I was telling her already (because they're trained to always "be right"), but I could clearly see that she had never seen a patient turn their health around so dramatically before, with nothing but diet. She tried to attribute it to the nebulous reason of "when you lose weight, you feel better"--which all medical doctors seem to do, as they fail to understand that obesity is just another symptom of the actual underlying problems, not the cause. In any event, I had a good chuckle.

I believe healthcare is beginning to change. I'm 32 and rarely went to the doctor. I found a new doctor after getting new insurance and she was in a "by the book" facility. I was on antidepressants and overweight. Cholesterol was high. She explained to me her goal is to get me off the antidepressants and to lose weight with diet and exercise. She told me to start a Mediterranean diet (focus on high omega 3 foods) and walk every day. She really hammered it into me and why it was important, so I decided I was really going to try this time. I did my best to stay on the diet and at the 6 months mark my bloodwork was the best it's been. I've been off the antidepressants for 2 months now and feel amazing. I think doctors are starting to wake up and realize we need a more holistic approach first, then medication as a last resort. They also have a sign on the door yelling at pharma reps to not bother which I thought was funny. Again, this is a very typical western medicine doctor that much of the population in my city uses.

Stick to that diet like glue. DO NOT go on a Ketogenic diet. I have been on one for 18 months and just stopped it a few days ago. I am extremely fit by my LDL is extremely high due to high saturated fat. Saturated fat is good for helping you absorb vitamins. So when you buy yogurts for example always buy full fat and never low fat. BUT take it easy on it and only have about 10% maximum of your calories as saturated fat.

You have really opened my eyes to the correlation between fat, carbs and statins. I compare it to grease, flour and milk. On its own, grease (fat) will flow, but when you add flour (carbs) to it, it thickens it and turns it to a pasty substance . You then have to add milk (statins) to turn it into gravy (unhealthy blood). I no longer want "gravy" in my bloodstream!

Thanks so much from a 70yo lady from Australia. I've been on the carnivore diet for 5 months and feeling great. Lost weight, more energy, skin less dry, very few aches or pains, very little arthritic pain, and yet my family worries that I'll die off a heart attic. I don't! My blood test is good. They bombard me with old studies about the usual high cholesterol myths. They simply don't congratulate me but instead want to bring me down and not because they care! Others, even strangers, comment on my appearance and health. You arm with the science to defend myself against their nonsense. This means a lot to me in defending my choices to live my healthiest life ❤

I have what my doctor considers high LDL at 195 and kept insisting I be put on statins. I did take statins for 3 months but took myself off as I don't believe 195 is that high. After watching this video where Dr. Ekberg talks about the calcium score test I requested my doctor order one for me. It was $350 deductible. It was worth every penny. I had ZERO calcium so my doctor said I don't need to be on statins. That CAC test relieved all my anxiety that I was going to croak of a heart attack or stroke and save years of being on statins for no good reason.

I went back to my doctor only six months later after being on a low carb diet and my A1C has since been normal. My doctor refuses to accept that the low carb diet has helped me prevent diabetes. To be clear I have never been overweight in my life, but my diet was low fat foods and lots of whole grains, and fruits, but I was still in a route to develop diabetes. that's no longer my case.

We can choose to believe everything the doctor tells us, and do what he says, or we can believe we know ourselves better than he does, and do what we already know is right for our own bodies.

Hi, I am a man from Norway, and do like your videos. But i need to write this..-I have had problems with high colestrol for years and also had a heart attack 3 years ago. I use cholestrol medicine, and work out a lot in the gym. But for some reason i never could get my cholestrol leves (LDL)far enough down to the levels it should be. I dont want to increase my cholestrol medicine with higher doses, because i get a lot of pain in muscles. So in desember 2022, my bad cholestrol was as usual a little to high (3.1), so i decieded to only eat clean food, chicken breast and fish and vegetables and so on. No sugar or alcohol. In february after 6-7 weeks i did go to my doctor to measure my cholestrol leves again, and was sure they would improve a lot. But i was shocked..The LDL cholestrol had increased even more to levels of (3.9)..I could not understand why, but i began to investigate why. I did understand of course that it had to do with the increased chicken and fish intake, because everything else in my meals was healthy, and i worked out in the gym 4-6 times each week. I then read that 1 of 3 persons are sensitive to cholestrol in food, and that especially chicken has high amount of cholestrol. -So i then i imidetly cut out all fish and chicken, and started to use protein shakes again to get my proteins every day. I also ate not as healthy as i did before last measure of cholestrol. I ate chocolate and potatochips every weekend...-When i then i measured my cholestrol again with my doctor again some days ago, my LDL cholestrol had dropped very much. It dropped from 3,9 to 2.1, and has never in my life been better. So now i have decreased my cholestrol medicine intake with 75% and also increased my levels of vegetables in, and have no chocolate og potatochips and no meat. I have now lived like this for about 10 days, and will keep doing this to my next cholestrol measurement in may. It will be exiting to see my LDL cholestrol then. But regardless, i will more or less go vegan rest of my life. I only use egg white that are animal product, as i also used the weeks before my last measurement, because egg white has no cholestrol and i want to ensure that i get enough proteins. So my message is..If you have high LDL cholestrol-try to cut out meat for some weeks, and then go to your doctor to measure your levels of cholestrol to see about your levels is better, just because you dont eat meat. I have talked with a lot of heart spesialist doctors the last three years, but no one of them informed me of that i maybe just should try to eat less chicken to get my cholestrol levels down. Chicken is sopose tobe healhty because of it contains little fat..But NO ONE informed me about that chicken has a lot of cholestrol and that 1 of 3 persons is sensitive with cholestrol food.

No vocational aspect. I have to add if you are over 60 you have no chance with the medical fraternity. The Surgeons I don't know much about but out would appear they do a good job. But in America the biggest cause of death is from medical malpractice probably in the UK too. Hasn't it dawned on them they will get to that age soon enough!

I am glad the doc mentioned the Calcium score and the fact it doesn’t pick up the soft, more dangerous plaque that has not calcified. I had a calcium score of 27 which put me at a mild risk. When I went further and had a CT non- invasive Angiogram I found that I had a number of plaque areas that were blocking 50-70% of two arteries which put me at high risk. So if you have a low calcium score and a personal history of smoking, high alcohol intake, chronic stress etc like I did, go to next step. You might save yourself from a future heart attack.

Even though my HDL was WELL within range and my LDL was only very slightly low. My problem is triglycerides. So then I explained to him how a statin does little to nothing for triglycerides. Then he said it!s the best drug for that right now. I asked him about fish oil. He scoffed. Long story even longer. I found a new doctor.

Fantastic lecture on the topic!!! I've been arguing with my GP for several months over my cholesterol numbers (I've been keto/LCHF for almost a year and have lost 70 pounds). My total cholesterol and LDL-C are high (around 300, total), as you'd expect, and my GP wants to put me back on a statin. On my next visit, I'll have him responde/counter the points that you've made in this video. (and thanks for listing the studies that were the backbone of several of your points on mortality, related to statins). I'll probably end up dumping my current GP, and finding one who better understands, and appreciates, the evolving views on cholesterol and statin.

Good luck. Pre-keto my BP was 180/90. I had a stroke. Now, I lost 65 pounds better sugars but still high cholesterol. My BP is 130/70 but my doc still wants me to take statins and get off of keto. I've gone through 3 PCP's and no luck finding one who isn't a pill pusher.

@@2bbossfree I dumped my GP and switched to a doctor who DID NOT push the CV-19 shots. She is more interested in health than pushing pills. So consider testing your choice of GP to find one who does not push the Vaxx because I think there is a correlation between those issues and provides a salient indicator of their true agenda. Best wishes.

I will be doing the same. I’ve lost weight on keto/IF lowered Hba1c in 3 mths from 8.9 to 7! LDL is up and my cholesterol meds was doubled from 10 to 20. Will see my GP and will look closer into my bloodwork and discuss what Dr Ekberg has explained, whom I thank so much for enlightening me tonight. The body is an amazing thing and it knows how to regulate and the less we fiddle with it the better.

4 days into a statin and the muscle pain was unbearable thank god.

Thank you for making the informative videos that you make. It’s helping me better understand the physiology behind why things are the way they are in the body. I’m a pharmacist and I learned a lot in school, but I’m learning things here in a different way and I truly appreciate it!

I would love a video for athletes, specifically teen boys. We struggle with the right nutrition, while still getting enough calories into him. We find ourselves resorting to pastas, breads, potatoes & rice just to get the calorie count up. We want to maximize his performance, of course, but he's still growing and our priority is to make sure his health needs are met.

Here in Boulder, CO, my wife and I were able to get the CAC test without doctor's orders. They sent us pictures of the scan. I'm 74 and started keto 2.5 years ago after very high blood sugar readings at the local testing facility. My most recent tests have been mostly in the "normal" range except for cholesterol. The CAC score was 23. Quite a shock.

Checkout high vitamin k2 doses (1-2 mg daily) with vitamin d3. It's effective i removing plaque. There are some hard plaque / soft plaque concerns some people have. Vitamin k is an established therapy for atherosclerosis in Japan since the 90s. But they used vitamin k2-mk4 which is about 20 times less effective than k2-mk7.
