Dave Feldman- LDL Cholesterol Myths Debunked By Citizen Scientist
Manage episode 433036703 series 2952348
Dave Feldman, an engineer by trade, discovered the low-carb, high-fat diet in 2015 to avoid becoming diabetic like much of his family. However, his cholesterol levels shot up, sparking his obsession to understand the underlying mechanisms. Despite his family members seeing only marginal increases on the same diet, Dave's cholesterol nearly doubled, leading him to delve deeper into the science behind cholesterol and how it's regulated in the body.
His engineering background helped him approach the issue systematically, ultimately enabling him to gain a deeper understanding of the complex system that moves cholesterol around, which has since allowed him to share valuable insights with others. Dave shares his journey of overcoming fear and learning about the importance of fat metabolism for health. He explains that when you are metabolically healthy and powered by fat, your body needs to transport fat and fat-soluble vitamins through the bloodstream using lipoproteins.
LDL and HDL have been labeled "bad" and "good" cholesterol based on cardiovascular disease risk association. - When triglycerides are low, HDL tends to be high as it picks up components during the lipoprotein delivery process, linked to metabolic health. - Higher LDL cholesterol levels can occur when people become healthier, which can be confusing for healthcare providers
Genetic predisposition also plays a role. - Higher fibre intake and resistance training can help with cholesterol clearance and LDL particle uptake by muscle tissue. - ApoB, the major protein in lipoproteins, may be a better marker for atherogenic risk than LDL alone
"Lean mass hyper-responders" have high LDL, high HDL, and low triglycerides, potentially due to efficient fat metabolism and rapid lipoprotein turnover rather than a "traffic jam" of lipids.
