Dave Feldman - 'Cholesterol is a Passenger, Not a Driver'

[@chremis]

I have also been a software architect and engineer my whole career, with more of a focus now on metabolic health, as I fit into the LMHR profile. I mostly find within the medical community an absence of the ability to change or accept new ideas,, rigidity, pharma corruption, unnecessary complexity, deeply troubling from the perspectives I am used to in my industry, Dave's simplistic presentation approach is a breadth of fresh air, demonstrating better communication style with the laymen who after all are the ones seeking the truth about improving their own metabolic health. Doctors beware, educate yourself better, the patients are coming for you now.

[@michaelsmith1262]

Dave is the man. A non-medical guy doing work that the medical community should be doing, but they are too worried about lining their pockets with big pharma money. Thanks to him, I feel safe ignoring my doctor when she pushed statins for my high cholesterol. I'll take a remnant cholesterol of 14 thank you very much and be on my way.

[@billhanna8838]

I had to dump my doc , He got really shitty when i refused statins , I mean really out there , Id be dead in 6 months if i didn't go on statins before i left his practice , Even had the nurse harassing the Mrss over the next 3 days on the phone . Guess he didn't get his Las Vegas holiday . Oh by the way that was 7 years ago ?

Maybe you could write a script that I can learn to recite? Thank you again for sharing all that you have learned.

I don’t want to sound like I’m spouting corruption or anything but enough evidence builds up that you eventually think, “if there’s smoke, there must be fire.” I have stopped my statins and upon completing my blood pressure meds will not be refilling it either. This completes my doctors wishes and I feel pretty good about my progress down my LCHF journey.

[@sarahaugustine4185]

Just tell your doctor no. You have 100% control over your own body. Many, most doctors have very little nutrition knowledge. They know medicines, pills and all things pharma because that is what they are taught in med school. And, in many cases, their med scripts heavily support their income. You don't need a compelling argument you just need to do your own research and prescribe the diet that is best for you.

[@tubetime39]

Phillip good for you. A friend was on statins for 9 years before he had quadruple bypass !!!! I told a guy at the Mill this one day & he said he had low cholesterol & he had a double by pass. An ex co-worker on statins had a bypass 8 yrs ago. I talked to him about diet, health & exercise & he said "that's what they make medication for". !! He died this past fall of a heart attack.

Dietary cholesterol is only found in animal products and animal by-products.

I have been on keto for 3 years now, usually under 5g carbs per day. I am a 5'2, 104-pound young female and mostly sedentary. I was shocked when my bloodwork came back. TC 531, LDL 350, HDL 64, TRIGS 94. My remnant cholesterol is 117. I thought I may have familial hypercholesterolemia, but both of my parents had normal cholesterol on and off keto. I don't have any major diseases that I know of. Why is my remnant cholesterol so high? I eat meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and some vegetables. No vegetable oils or processed foods. If anyone has any insight or resources, it would be much appreciated as I am slightly concerned with my bloodwork but I don't want to get off keto.

Because of this presentation l sleep well at night while my doctor looses sleep over my high cholesterol levels. Have been on keto for a couple of years now after after suffering from hypoglycemia due to high insulin. Thankfully all my numbers have improved but my cholesterol levels keeps going up from 160, 200 to 260. At 200 my doctor prescribed cholesterol lowering medication. I didn't fill my prescription but didn't tell my doctor because he wouldn't understand.

[@deltanaturals]

In the US you can order your own lab tests to be done and bypass your doctor. Just order your own labs and interpret the results yourself. Be your own doctor 👍

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

Dave, I really liked your presentation and the simplified layout and for the most part your presentation will apply to at least 1/2 the population. Hard to say now days because so many people are sick and when you have sick organs in the body the whole game changes on everything regarding cholesterol, diet, supplements, and so on. For example, let's say the liver delivery company and/or the intestine delivery company is compromised due to poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, etc.. Now we are digging deep and really finding out how and why no two people are alike when it comes to this sort of thing. I remember back in the mid-90s when I first started in the health industry I would give the same lowering cholesterol regimen to all my clients who had high cholesterol, LDL, etc.. When blood test results showed a drastic improvement with most clients, a few remained unchanged after 90 days or so. At that point I began to dig deeper and really learned how magnificent the human body really is. For anyone reading, keep this in mind. Disease starts in the colon and then it's all downhill from there. If the colon is functioning properly and you are having a minimum of 3 bowel movements per day - if you eat 3 times per day - then the liver will most likely be okay considering you exercise to keep the lymphatic system moving and drinking enough water with electrolytes to keep the kidneys working like they should. Basically as long as the drainage/elimination system is working then most likely all is okay and the body can function as normal - hence - do what it supposed to do when it comes to keeping cholesterol in check. One thing I do know is a problem with cholesterol is not always with diet. Our environment, genetics, and lifestyle as a whole plays a major role. Even stress! Stress drives cortisol which then drives sugar and well, you get the point because the liver acts totally different when the body is under stress. I've had diabetics drop from a 7.5 A1c to a 5.2 A1c within 3-4 months by simply giving them an adaptogenic herb like KSM 66 combined with Cordyceps to help their body deal with stress. Most people think diabetes is caused by diet and that may be true in some cases, but I'm finding that stress is the culprit these days. Keep up the good work, Dave!

[@h2ored]

Do you find the CardioChek to be adequate to measure remnant cholesterol, or as a tool to measure -C in general?

[@realDaveFeldman]

I think it's useful for home use. I'll have an article with data comparisons to the lab on it this coming summer.

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

June 26, 2017 (Eating my usual diet): TC = 198 - LDL (146) - HDL (45) = Remnant Cholesterol 7. Trigs = 77. LDL particles = 898 nmol/L. Remnant Lipoprotein = 139 nmol/L. April 9, 2018 (Eating more fat): TC = 275 - LDL (206) - HDL (51) = Remnant Cholesterol 18. Trigs = 67. LDL particles - 1192 nmol/L (HIGH). Remnant Lipoprotein = 148 nmol/L. Eating more fat made my Remnant Cholesterol and Remnant Lipoprotein worse. I guess I should go back to eating my usual diet.

Are you by any chance still slightly overweight? If going by the analogy provided, if you are eating less fats, your body will make more VLDL. If you want to lower your LDL score, next time you go on a blood test, eat a lot of fat throughout three days before your test.

[@jacqueslucas8616]

[@ShodaiJerryND]

I have had times when I have eaten as many grams of fat and grams of carbohydrates, in the same day, and will go right into fat burning mode because of it. It didn't make sense to me to be burning fat on days when I had so many grams of carbohydrate in the diet.Well I have asked this question in many different groups and got zero answers from anybody. But after putting the nerd brain into learning mode I have realized the answer to the question of: "Why do I burn fat when my glucose levels are elevated?" The guru types say that your glucose level has to drop and insulin has to drop before you go into fat burning mode. This doesn't seem to be true since the body will burn fats carried into the lymph system by the chylomicrons before addressing the protein and glucose that go to the liver. That is my take on what you present in your teachings. Please correct me if I am wrong...

[@pokerandphilosophy8328]

I am very confused by the slide at 15:16 regarding remnant cholesterol. It depicts remnant cholesterol as consisting in VLDL and IDL, and those two are lipoproteins that have not yet fully delivered their loads of "energy". (Am I not right in interpreting the orange energy boxes as the triglycerides that are being carried by the "boats"/lipoproteins?). However, the Wikipedia article says that "Nonetheless, remnant cholesterol is primarily chylomicron and VLDL from which most triglyceride has been removed, such that each remnant particle contains about 40 times more cholesterol than LDL." This appears to be the contrary definition from what the slide depicts. It also seems rather more intuitive to conceive of a "remnant" as what remains of the carrier after (most of) the load has been removed.

[@pokerandphilosophy8328]

This is a fantastic presentation, by the way.

[@jimmysabina8783]

My view is that remnant is the nomenclature used to refer to the balance of Total Cholesterol minus LDL and HDL in a regular Lipid Panel. For myself I paid for a VAP lipid panel and the remnant number was calculated for me. It is a little bit more exact than if I substract LDL and HDL from my Total Cholesterol number, but quite similar.

[@bc45kid]

My LDL is very high at 238, I was doing IF 20hrs a day, with Chicken breast and eggs diet of under 500 cal for 3 days before my blood drawn. I dont know what causes it. I was 96kg some months ago and my LDL is 130 something, now I am 70kg, and I am curious why It went up when my diet is strict and I also do IF.

[@cherrera4080]

Watch some of David's other videos. You're likely to get a lower LDL reading by eating high-calorie with a lot of fat for 3 days before the test then fasting 12-14 hours beforehand. It's the opposite of what you'd think.

[@healerca]

So, how can you explain the decrease in CVD with statins..?

[@realDaveFeldman]

That's an entirely different subject and a long one at that. I may do a blog post on it soon. But to give a sneak preview (and one I've long talked about), I don't care if you can reduce the risk of dying by one thing unless it likewise means a reduction of death by all things (AKA all-cause mortality). Hence, I have the example of my "Cyanide Diet" where it ensures your chance of dying by heart disease is reduced by 99.999% -- but you only achieve this by dying of *something else* first. Thus, I don't compare statins for their reduction in death by CVD, I compare how they reduce death overall.

[@GlennGraham]

healerca Good question, we are eating less fat, taking hundreds of millions statins, etc. We are living 20-30 years longer. We are way healthier. Hopefully Dave will answer I'd like to know too.

[@dianamundi6210]

Glenn Graham a basic fact to look at is that most people died 100 years ago due to infections, then penicillin came along. Population studies done after WWII show the anomaly (or not) since low-fat diets were pushed since the 50s and now the people who are “living longer” are not necessarily from the US.

Great talk! This closed some gaps in my understanding. I still have some gaps though. One being,... How does fat from adipose tissue get transported to the rest of the body? Is it HDL that picks it up from the fat cells?

[@realDaveFeldman]

That's a bigger subject. There's means beyond the bloodstream (transmigration), and there's means in the bloodstream where as NEFAs (Non-Esterified Fatty Acids) they bind to albumin and either (1) are absorbed by other cells or (2) are absorbed by the liver eventually and repackaged as triglycerides into VLDLs to be sent out again (purple line)

Hi Dave - excellent video. I live in the UK and I've been on the keto/low carb diet for over and year (I've lost 28 lbs and definitely don't want to lose any more weight) and last week had a comprehensive blood test to see whether it's had any detrimental effects on my system. I had the results back today and the doctor has flagged up my cholesterol as being too high and I need to go see the nurse to talk about changing my 'lifestyle'. These are my results: serum cholesterol 7.2; serum triglycerides 0.5; serum HDL cholesterol 2.6; serum LDL 4.4; serum non HDL cholesterol 4.6; serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 2.8.

[@dha007]

great presentation and thank you for the unbiased hard work. we need to look at how the entire system works and not just parts of it in isolation. LDLs are bad only in the setting of elevated blood glucose and suboptimal HDL and trig over a chronic period of time. Also, Ketosis is a state of health that has not been studied in the traditional realm of CVD and so the traditional significance of elevated LDL may not be pertinent in ketosis. you may have the largest body of research in this arena at this time. my 2 cents. thanks again

I don’t think most vegans priority is health....it’s about not killing animals ...

Why? I am Vegan my RC is 5, I guess that is better than any of the above, no? My Trig/HDL is 1.3 good enough for me. Furthermore animals are not suffering and are not killed because of me and the planet is not as much polluted, that is a three times win, no?. I will however ask you why are you not Vegan?. Even if it would be just as healthy and there is no requirement to eat dead animal corpses and body parts. And yes my priority is health as number one as well.
