Absolutely informative and in detail. I found your guest Dr Aseem Malhotra very truthful and professional and someone who truly is dedicated to his profession when he says he wants to help his patients. Words alone cannot express how helpful and educational this podcast was for me. I’m a T2D A1C was 8.6 Cholesterol was over 300 my Dr insisted I go on Metformin and statins and Blood Pressure meds even though my blood pressure was just within borderline. I refused to take any meds. After 6months my A1C was 6.3 and cholesterol 2.7 and blood pressure 58/98 . I was 185lbs and now 133lbs and I did it all by myself by changing my diet and exercise and meditation with daily affirmations and gratitude and lots off volunteering to local communities. I wish there’s more Drs like your guest who can help others with being Frank and honest.

My paternal grandmother had atherosclerosis in the days before anyone knew anything about cholesterol. She had a heart attack when she was 57 but when on to live to 92. The first time my cholesterol was analyzed, it was 305. I was 35 and pretty fit owing to a lot of walking and cycling. I didn't start taking statins until I had gone through menopause. Then my HDL dropped and my LDL went up, but was never as high as these doctors discuss. After many years on statins, I started having a higher than normal glucose reading and have been taking Metformin, which still causes me to vomit occasionally and often causes nausea in the mornings. I wrote my cardiologist yesterday and asked to stop taking Lipitor for a while in an effort to see what effect it would have on my glucose levels, as well as my muscle strength and the wretched cramps I get in my legs. My cardiologist's office didn't argue with me or try to talk me out of doing this; they just said to keep them posted about whether the side effects abated. No one in my family of origin is diabetic. So it's a bet I'm willing to take at age 82. I have been diagnosed as having atherosclerosis too, like my grandmother. For me, if I can walk back that diabetes thing and be able to walk a city block here in Chicago without panting, it'll be worth the effort. My diet is pretty much the Mediterreanian one. I don't watch my fat and oil consumption on the advice of Jason Fung, and I keep the carbs on the low side but not entirely absent. I am overweight but my weight is stable within a 4-pound range.

[@dudeatx]

Just a few points. Metformin and other anti-diabetic drugs work by restricting sugar absorption from the bowel. So, why not just eat less sugar in the first place? Statins cause protein breakdown, so you can be pretty sure that symptoms like muscles aches etc. are caused by statins. In some cases this protein breakdown has caused sudden and catastrophic liver/kidney failure - this is why you have your liver/kidney function monitored when you're on them Final point, there is no good evidence that a) statins reduce cholesterol b) no evidence that cholesterol causes atherosclerotic disease c) no evidence, not even a statistic correlation that cholesterol, is a risk factor in the over 50s or women. Just avoid processed food, eat a varied fresh meat/vegetable based diet, keep physically active, maintain good social relationships, and do some mentally stimulating activities and you'll be golden. All these things have been proven to improve health & longevity. The only things that these other things improve are food and pharmaceutical industry profits.

I'll be increasing my dose in two weeks, so we'll see at that point whether it does what it is reputed to do. As I said, I would really like to walk back the diabetes thing. I'm hoping that the new drug will help me do that. I also went back on the Lipitor since I didn't notice a bit of difference after not taking it for a month. I've always known I was predisposed to having the genetic component for high cholesterol.

Your levels aren't "bad" & can be "improved". Limit, greatly restrict or remove processed foods, sugar & seed oils from your typically eaten foods. Good fats/proteins are super important. Please, don't take my word for it. Read and study good truth- speaking doctors. Sugars, simple sugars specifically, cause liver inflammation, (non-alcoholic )fatty liver disease, smaller LDLs ('bad' because the small LDLs can be oxidized more easily than 'large/normal' LDLs) pre-diabetes & lots of other harmful physical conditions. Basically, people who go 'keto', plant-based, carnivore, whole-food meat-based, etc, generally get rid of sugar, seed oils & processed foods. Sorry, at first listen or read, this all seems complicated, but you'll get it. Keep at it. The issue is that there's infinite variables; genetics, diet, drugs, lifestyle, etc, so it is incredibly complex. Make small changes & do bloodwork to verify what the changes do, FOR YOU. I'm not the final word, please, read for yourself. Listen to & take in data/info from everyone. Validate with legit studies & good lectures/interviews with referenced facts. Good fats: natural saturated fats (ghee, lard, coconut, etc), mono-unsaturated (omega-9; avocado & cold-pressed ultra olive oil) and naturally-found omega-3 (ALA, EPA, DHA) & omega-6. DHA comes from algae, which is eaten by cold water fish (wild caught sardines, etc). ALA/EPA is found in chia, hemp, flax seeds. non-GMO/grass fed Meat has a good blend of many fats. Sorry, I could go on for days. I have some knowledge, a Nutrition science degree, medical school, years of genetic-lab work, an electrical engineering degree, and years of study, continuing to this day.

I really appreciate what Dr. Asseem has to say vis-a-vis Statins. MY cardio doc in Kaiser wanted me on statins. I've been a lifelong trail runner ( going on 50 years now) I'm still running and racing (still place in my age group) trail runs. I'm also heavy 228 lbs but have lost over 50 lbs with surgery and have (recently) gotten past prostate cancer ( radiation and hormone depravation). I'm having great success with vitamin k2, mega dose vitamin C, fish oil etc. . Also - studies on lifelong endurance athletes show increased Coronary calcification ( true for me too) but with increasing cardio respiratory fitness - the risk of bad CV events goes down. From my perspective - my long endruance athlete record trumps the use of statins and there are large scale studies that do show that as well.

Thank you two for the great information on Statins. I have been on them for 1.5 years and in that time have lost 23lbs of muscle (178 to 155 lbs) and have had constant fatigue (I'm 6' 1" tall). My shoulders were so sore I couldn't do any upper body strength training. My fatigue kept me from doing a lot of activities - In the last 6 months, I was sleeping about 15 hours a day. And when I don't exercise, I'm not hungry so I'm caught in a loop. I stopped taking Statins one week ago and feel better already. I also noticed improvement in another effect that has been plaguing me for about 15 years - neuropathy in my feet. My left foot being the worst. Since taking Statins, my left foot on the ball has steadily gone almost completely numb. I am starting to get feeling back in my left foot now and I'm convinced it has to do with being off Statins for a week - I haven't changed anything else diet-wise or physically. I believe this may be attributable for the good things that LDL does for your body. BTW - I have recently had a chemical Stress Test, EKG, and ultra sound, ejection fraction - all came out fine with no problems. I do have a couple of questions though - (1) does a buildup or high LDL level have a direct correlation to calcium buildup in the heart arteries? I had 80% blockage in 2 of my heart arteries and got stents a year and a half ago. I'm not the typical poster boy for clogged arteries as my cholesterol has always been good, never been overweight, always exercise, have a healthy diet, and no family history of heart attacks. My Total cholesterol has always been around 190-200 and HDL around 75-90. I've read where I may have small particle LDL which is more likely to cause artery clogging so that might be the culprit. (2) Will an increase in my LDL have any effect on the blood flow through my stents? Thank you.

[@dudeatx]

Hi. There is no evidence that LDL either has an effect on fatty build up (atheroma) or calcification (arteriosclerosis). The latter is a normal part of the ageing process but accelerated by genes, diabetes and smoking, it's basically a process of oxidisation is occurring over years. If you want to learn more about this topic I suggest you watch some Rhonda Patrick vids. She explains the small particle LDL/oxidation process in detail. But blood flow through your stents won't really be affected by anything you eat in the short term. By the way the reason you are "not the typical poster boy" is because the information we are told about animal fats, cholesterol and heart disease is a complete scientific fallacy - the only probable diet relation to heart disease is sugar consumption via diabetes. This is demonstrable through triglycerides which are directly raised by sugar consumption and known to be a risk factor but funnily enough doctors never mention this.

​@@dudeatx Thanks for the information.👍

[@josefinorivera4227]

I’m totally agree! We need more people like you to spread the truth! Thanks

[@Nursealinamac]

Thank you both for speaking the truth and being transparent!! We need more Doctors like you in this world 🌎!!

[@justrusty]

I was on statins for a while; long story that I won't get into here. What astounds me is that it was a young salesman at the local vitamin store who told me about CoQ10. No Doctor ever mentioned it, though one did acknowledge that taking the supplements might help when I mentioned it to him.

[@MR..181]

Exactly

[@ramohino]

Thanks for the medical advise; I stopped statins today. I will report back in a year if I am still alive.

[@Amanda.c91]

What an amazing conversation. They mentioned food ads and what is at sporting events and schools....But let’s talk about what is in most US ERs as “snacks” for patients and family members....honey graham crackers, saltines, apple juice cups, or a slab of crap deli meat in between two pieces of white bread. Sugar on sugar on sugar. Wheat on wheat on wheat. Absolutely no fats, and low quality low amount protein. Houston ER nurse here. And I go to work with my soft boiled eggs, sardines and tuna and never ever have the desire to touch that lab made food. True satiation from REAL fats and protein closes the appetite down, powers the mind, doesn’t bloat you or weigh you down and keeps me sharp and not distracted with hunger while I’m working. But these crap “snacks” leave the patients (and other doctors and nurses) hungry and irritable... but these are cheap cheap cheap. Terrible system. Such a shame

[@cilareiss]

Most people are misinformed. Your program must be advertised and widespread.

[@obrotcho8289]

@Dr Aseem Malhotra, I will appreciate your input on familial hypercholesterolemia management using statins. Thank you.

[@mikehansell4225]

What a great talk guys, it’s nice to hear some honesty from our doctors. Thank you . 🙏🏻

[@allisonsanchez7544]

Thank you both for spreading the truth! You have so many people behind you supporting you, referencing you and all your valuable information. Thanks for all you do!

[@not_social]

Thank you very much for putting us all straight as I have refused to take a Statin. Unfortunately, I find they spoke too fast.

[@MonsymarketingEP]

God bless you, for sharing REAL information. I believe in you. This is important for the future generations have all this videos well explained.

[@thewinechairman533]

You both speak the truth...and show the corrupt nature of research....thank you! Keep on speaking the truth!!!

[@soma9x9]

Excellent. But... I watched an interview yesterday conducted by Dr. Rhonda Patrick with Dr. Ron Krauss on the subject of cholesterol and CVD in which he stated in several different ways how the science was settled (sound familiar?) in terms of various lipid fractions causing CVD, and how statins were definitely a major component of the solution. Lotsa work to be done before the tide turns.

[@paulwong9819]

Thank you both for telling the truth as how to attain good health.❤

[@colleenfoster7027]

Thank you,.keep up your great crusade for good health and education for all of us. Please make available a list of integrative functional Doctors like yourself in all states.

Two ‏greatest doctor together awesome.

[@DavidJohnSongwriter]

Two of my heroes. Well done, guys. And THANK YOU.

[@snapshot1946]

6 years ago I suffered an MI and have been shovelling 80mg of Atorvastatin down my neck ever since. This has been making me feel like I'd done ten rounds with Mike Tyson every morning and have found this site as a consequence of being in a DIABETES prevention programme since the long term use of high dose Statins is making me pre-diabetic. This pain is about to cease after hearing your talk. Many thanks Doctors, you have truly changed my life!!

[@polanco187]

In my local supermarkets most shelf space is given over to highly processed cereals, soft drinks and snack foods. Most of the shoppers are obese.

[@ketoi.f.youdare9229]

Excellent video, Let's hope the process of change gathers speed!!!

[@speshwemmick6225]

Preach it! LOVE listening to informed, knowledgeable, intelligent medics

[@denisedeckard9603]

Thank you Dr Malhorta and Dr Hyman. I leaned so much from this podcast and Dr Hyman's book. I will now be reading Dr Malhorta's book. What can the viewers do to help spread the word that food is the medicine? I am so disgusted with the prices they charge us to heat organic and healthy.

[@SorinGociu]

hello. can you help me witha link or name of theindipendent medical website he is talking about at 13:10? thank you

[@michaelsrowland]

You don't have to heat organic food, eat them raw

[@ribbitrocks]

that said, amazing dialogue and greater elevated truth about the crap around us everyday !!!! thanks

[@annalee8868]

Most excellent, informative and quality interview! This covers the broad array of areas needing scrutiny and the resulting integrity and wellness generally that will be more the norm than the exception should their advice become available and adhered to. Much wisdom here’. Thank you!!!

[@chulaniperera2372]

Very informative and valuable thank you, both of you

[@mikewilkki6111]

Very informative and important information. Thank you for your work.

[@pedrogonzalezsoto]

Great topic. You guys need to do a podcast with Joe Rogan!

[@enkibumbu]

I'm watching everything I can from this guy.

[@grumpydrummer8960]

This needs parliamentary enquiries to control the food and pharmaceutical influences .

[@richarddobson4382]

Great interview and great information. I'm healthy except for high cholesterol, quite possibly genetic. After very good heart results (I'm 62), the cardiologist wants to put me on stations for 15 days and I am unsure whether to obey. I have asked my normal doctor for his advice, who as part of his prescription always gives sound food advice.

[@leegregson6453]

Very informative information, touching on many health issues promoted through healthcare and the current government guidelines. Now I am reluctant to listen to mainstream media and apply some common sense to eating a carnivore diet due to many health issues now resolved.

[@francoisehembert3243]

Great interview! Thank you.

[@soho71]

I can’t believe this information was out 5 years ago!!!

[@mitsistamatoglou3678]

Could you please pass the info about the website Dr. Malholtra has mentioned that he gives to his patients? Thank you

[@cates_keto]

Brilliant interview, I have only just discovered Dr. Malhotra (I can’t believe this interview is from 5 years ago!) this information is so important!!! The work that you guys are doing has changed 6 people’s lives in this house already!!! Thank you 🙏🏻! From a girl with a total cynicism of the rubbish doctors (bar one) I have come across in my lifetime, the very fat staff in the hospitals giving us dietary advice! Thank you for your metabolic information… that’s where it begins and ends!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
