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

[@Darnabymom]

@@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.

Doctors are NOT interested in your good health....Where's the money in that? My ex-doctor had the same "I'm smarter than you) attitude and wanted to give me a paper bag full of prescription drugs.

Anyway, He took it all in, this year he did not say one word about my "High" Cholesterol or my "High" LDL....just looked at all the rest of the results and said...Wow! You're doing great for 72.

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.

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 .

Perfect video for me to watch at this moment. Started a KETO diet three months ago after getting an A1c glucose of 5.8. Today I just got results from new blood tests. A1c now at 5.7 (KETO starting to reverse insulin resistance) but Cholesterol jumped to 284. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for running through a sample blood test in the video so we could all follow along. My ratio of HDL to LDL is excellent (2.9) . . . and great Triglycerides (58). You provided the reassurance for me to NOT abandon KETO because of the spike in Cholesterol. And you provided the info on getting the Coronary Artery Calcium test to determine whether to be concerned (my Doctor focuses on the total Cholesterol, not the ratio).

[@j.arevalo4461]

Dr. Ekberg, it's great to see you and great that you continue to educate us. I discovered your videos in November 2018 after my doctor diagnosed me with boarder-line high A1c. He gave me the lecture that since my mother had type 2 diabetes I was doomed. I refused to accept his prediction and started to research about diabetes and found your videos about low cab diet. 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. Thank you!!!

[@alc6799]

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.
