How I approached high LDL in my patients, and how we observed a DECREASE in LDL of 480mg/dl !!!!
About my published case-series of 5 patients and clinical experience with thousands of patients …
(1/20)
As data supporting low carb diets has proliferated for weight loss, diabetes, seizures, mental health and other conditions, patients are now presenting with various issues related to the diet
2/20
For example, while it’s true that consistently a1c, triglycerides, HDL and lpa seem to improve, some patients report some adverse events.
Everything you need to know about gallstones as it relates to diet and dietary composition.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
In the obese during rapid weight loss from a very low-calorie diet, a relatively high fat intake could prevent gallstone formation, probably by maintaining an adequate gallbladder emptying, which could counterbalance lithogenic mechanisms
On the basis of a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, during weight loss, UDCA and/or higher dietary fat content appear to prevent the formation of gallstones.
After helping thousands of patients lose weight, here’s my advice for those looking for lifelong, sustainable life changes. These are the “5 MUSTS” anyone trying to lose weight lifelong NEEDS to do.
🧵/Thread
Before you understand my “5 musts”, simply ask yourself -what are the side effects of your prior weight loss attempts- NOT your reasons, NOT what you want to happen, what went wrong, what made you stop?
The 5 Musts: #1 HUNGER
Most people quit diets because they feel low energy, tired & hungry. Your weight loss attempt will need to manage HUNGER. Are food choices making you full, or are they leaving you craving more a couple of hours later? Stick to:: 🐠🥩🍳🍗🍖🍤🫑🥑🥬🥦
1/ 🧵 Can you reverse heart plaque?
Yes—and not just with meds.
Let’s walk through the top human trials showing how exercise, nutrition, and smart supplements can slow or even reverse plaque buildup.
A thread for your arteries… 🫀
2/ 🏃♂️ CENIT Trial (2022)
Supervised HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
📉 PAV shrank −1.2% per year
This isn’t casual walking—this is structured, high-effort cardio.
Result? Plaque regression.
Control group? No change.
3/ 💪 Cardiac Rehab Studies
Regular exercise improves artery function and slows plaque growth.
When combined with other therapies, it can lead to actual regression.
Movement is medicine
🚨 🚨 I want you to read this - a recent paper from the supposed brightest doctors in cardiology 🚨 🚨
“High LDL was associated with DECREASED RISK of MI, ASCVD, and all-cause mortality”
“- a finding that is difficult to interpret -“
They cannot admit that maybe the LDL hypothesis was just not the whole truth 😑

@ApoDudz Hey @MaBMortensen can you please advise
To me it seems like you are saying IR and resultant increase in remnants adds additional risk with some BS worldview of ApoB to make the lipidologists happy
