I am new to your channel. After getting a call from my Doctor at home after a routine blood check, I became concerned. I live in Germany, so they actually have 4 different readings for Cholesterine. My A-LDLG was 198, which is very bad. So I was in process of using ADF to lose a bit of my excess kilos anyway, now I will be more strict. I use extra Virgin olive oil, coconut oil (w/out palm fett) avocado oil. I eat all things in this video. The special salt is new to me, I will clear this with my Doctor. I am also concerned that my Glukose is 54, could be indication for other things. I am on 10mg Rosuvastic Axiromed to reduce cholesterol. I can say, never got a call from my Doctor at home. I am truly concerned and will with due diligence tweek my diet further and work out with craft training. Thanks for nicely done informative videos. Greetings from Julie in Germany😊

[@CarbageMan]

If you're worried about LDL, you probably want to look up the videos by Doctor David Diamond, a cardiologist. It's mostly bunk unless you have a specific genotype. If anything, you might want to look at Lipoprotein (a), HDL, and LDL-P (as Dr Berg indicated.) What most keto dieters see is their HDL rising, which is good, and triglycerides falling, which is also good. LDL can vary in either direction for people on keto. I was a couple weeks fasted when I got my panel once, and my LDL was over 200, which concerned my (non-keto-friendly) doctor. I had watch some Dave Feldman videos (Cholesterol Code guy) to find out why. I implemented the Feldman Protocol next time, and my doctor was happy. Then I told him how I crammed for his test and fired him. I now have a respected keto doctor.

I eat no processed foods, fast food or sugar, eat lots of fruits and veggies, nuts and drink lots of water. Eat food I mostly cook and mostly clean without going too over the top and I exercise. Dr said there’s nothing more I can personally do to ‘lower’ my LDL. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks Dr Berg for helping many.

This is very good, Dr. Berg. Many years ago I had high cholesterol and my doctor ordered an advanced lipid profile and saw that 95% was the fluffy light LDL. My cholesterol is normal now, never took statins or anything, and today in the NYT they had an article about Statins that talked about how in many people, STATINS CAUSED DIABETES. They did not go as far to say it was because of the small dense LDL. I am getting close to full carnivore here, though I do still eat a few squares of 78% dark chocolate with some almond butter almost daily. It's not sugar free, but at least sugar is NOT the first ingredient. I know sugar is deadly. My functional medicine doc has harped on me for years: You gotta give up sugar. You gotta give up gluten. You gotta give up dairy. I still put a splash of heavy cream in my coffee, but I'm not drinking the cream to fill myself up anymore. There's only one kind of bread that I occasionally eat, which is a focaccia that is produced locally. I have ordered some packages of Carnivore Crisps to take the place of that bread, which I like to broil under a mountain of fresh grated parmesan, for crunch and umami. Methinks the chicken skin Carnivore Crisps will fit the bill.

If you have any sort of chronic pain or inflammation giving up gluten can get rid of most of it. Doing so kept me off of getting TNF infusions.

I was reading a research paper today that contained an equation for calculating the sdLDL from the usual HDL LDL and triglyceride values in the regular cholesterol test. The equation was derived from a lot of research and correlation. Handily the website provides an Excel spreadsheet to use. It was difficult to find the recommended levels for sdLDL but an older male like me might have a max of 45mg/dL but more typical max would be 32 I would say. Mine is 57, hence my interest! In the UK the advanced test is not regularly done. I think cost is a factor and also there is more than one method, and it’s not performed widely. I also find that doctors are not up to date with sdLDL and will only ever ask for the regular LDL and HDL test plus TG.

I have a question for Dr. Berg , I am from the Middle East and we drink hot tea with breakfast and now they’re telling me that black tea is not good with food it’s like you don’t benefit from the food if you drink hot black tea is that true Dr Berg ?? I usually add fresh mint to my tea .

[@danih7577]

@@asmawier3949 I have read that if you drink any type of fluid with your meal it interferes ( waters down) your stomach PH so you don’t absorb the maximum nutrients that you can without a beverage. It’s a hard habit for me to break, but I know that I don’t have the best absorption as it is based on a Great Plains Oats test that I took there was some low protein absorption . Years later I went to a nutritionist that my endocrinologist sent me to and she recommended extra protein in the form of organic pea protein. She was able to determine poor protein absorption based on my symptoms and autoimmune disease. Ie., lots of fatigue. So if there’s some symptoms that need improvement I’m willing to change my habits when I eat for nutritional health and healing. I hope your in good health .

Keep in mind that many hormones are made from cholesterol! So, A) it's not intrinsically bad and B) I've seen many cases of high cholesterol come down when we balance the person's hormones! 😊

Dr., Thank you for that information.

[@DonAlex37]

What dose of niacin and for how long ? My total cholesterol it’s 229 . Triglycerides 223 , HDL 39.8 ; LDL 144.90 . Worked to lower the LDL and increase the HDL for over a year now . Those mentioned are the results after a year of diet , 500 - 1000 mg of krill oil everyday and exercise 5-6 days a week . Total cholesterol before was over 300 and the HDL was very very down , around 20 .

Dark Chocolate is definitely an acquired taste, but I usually eat it in the mornings ( caffeine ) and this would also benefit the Liver which loves the *bitter* flavor. Also switched to black coffee, sans sucre for the same reason.

[@TheBanterLounge]

Hi Dr Berg. I've been following your channel for some time and you've really helped me improve my diet and lifestyle. One idea for a video I had was to get your opinion on cheaper foods especially with the current cost of living crisis many are facing. For example those that can't afford to buy organic meat, what's the best type of meat to go for? I've heard in UK that non organic lamb is better than chicken due to it mostly being grass fed. It would be interesting to hear your take. Thanks again.

[@cryptoinanutshell]

You mean organic lamb since it's grass fed that makes it organic You said non organic

[@seattlesix]

Recently found a local farm close by that sells prepared meats and raw milk (hard to find in the US) and was wondering if that type of source may meet your needs

[@gloglos100]

@thebankerlounge I would go for the pasture raised lamb. It’s more nutrient dense than poultry and much better being pasture raised grass fed. The non organic part could be the drenches for parasites but it’s not a big deal imo. In Aus if I buy lamb I buy Tasmanian grassfed lamb not mucked around with. Mostly I buy grass fed beef, sometimes “ organic “ beef. I avoid poultry in my keto diet. That lamb would be great. Get eggs though, get organic eggs.

For several years I saw a functional medicine internist who was also a board certified cardiologist. As I was post-menopausal, my Cholesterol kept creeping up and up. She kept saying, "It's only a number." and assured me that I had "big, fluffy particles" so I was OK. Still, given that I was now over 60 and knew that I had elevated LP(a) and a family history of stroke, I requested a Calcium Artery scan and a carotid ultrasound and both pointed to mild arteriosclerosis. In response, I went predominately whole food plant based and my numbers came down significantly, but not enough, given my genetically based high (LP(a) . I found a lifestyle, plant centered cardiologist and now feel I'm in better hands. "It's only a number" and "big fluffy particles" didn't wash away what was going on in my arteries.

My understanding of LDL is from the liver's inability to metabolize sugar completely into blood, leaving nano particles to get trapped and cling together (jagged edges) in narrow capillaries of the brain, kidneys, liver and acute angles of the vascular system, including pockets around heart valves. Sugar is a crystal after all.

[@angelamorris4304]

So, MCT oil is not good to take for Cholestrol issues. How about a Mediterranian type keto diet? I have been considering eating more fish and turkey. I did notice a difference in how I felt, and I dropped a couple of pant sizes. Since I have Hypothyroidism, too, I noticed that I had more energy. I'm trying to keep suger, bread, and pasta to a minimum. Also, almonds don't work for me. I have to seek a lot of alternatives. I'm considering Yoga, and pushing the plate back more. I found out that over exercising is bad for the Thyroid. It just leaves you exhausted-- no real difference in weight loss. I do appreciate your videos, Dr. Berg. Thank you, for all you do, to help us stay healthy.😊

[@mandandi]

Dr Berg - this is a great list. I have to add a comment here that for years I ate these and my cholesterol levels did not go down. I was not gaining too much weight overall. I was skinny fat. However, I had toxins in my systems. Once I started using clays to cleanse everyday, the protruding gut disappeared in 3 weeks! I guess the clays bound to the fats in the gut and cleaned them out repeatedly over the 21 days. I look slimmer now. So, perhaps this is something others can try. Oh, I did tests at the end of last month and all my cholesterol levels were in the normal range. I am about to hit 2 month mark on clays. I intend to go on using them daily for another month, then cut down to 2-3 times a week for maintenance.

[@Daisy-xl4xu]

Interesting where do you get your clays from? Thank you!
