[04:49] What's the importance of LDL Cholesterol to our body?

• LDL cholesterol is highly conserved across different species, indicating its importance for life.

• The immune system uses LDL cholesterol. Low levels of LDL can lead to susceptibility to bacterial infections and cancer.

• There is ongoing research into the connection between low LDL levels and illness in people, and it has been discovered that some ICU patients have lower LDL levels.

• Drugs like Repatha and Praluent can drastically lower LDL levels. Still, no long-term safety data has yet to be available, and adverse effects may not always be reported to the database for post-marketing research.

[09:17] What are some risks of having high or low LDL levels?

• Statins have been prescribed for decades, but adverse effects may not be reported until years later.

• LDL has many functions in the human body, some of which may not have been discovered yet.

• Studies have shown that people with the lowest LDL levels have higher cancer rates, infectious death, and autoimmune conditions.

• Some healthcare providers may not understand the human body's basic physiology of LDL cholesterol.

[13:57] What's the benefit of presenting research studies to your doctor?

• Patients can bring research studies to their doctor to start a meaningful dialogue about their medication.

• Doctors may not be aware of certain research studies due to a lack of time to research every single topic.

• Pharmaceutical representatives may only present the benefits of medication without mentioning potential side effects or risks.

• Patients who bring in research studies may see positive results, such as doctors being more willing to adjust their medication dosage or prescribe a different medication.

• Patients can use their knowledge of research studies to have informed discussions with their doctors about their treatment plans, which could change the trajectory of medical practice.

[22:19] Are healthcare and health insurance for better or worse?

• The healthcare and health insurance business model are not designed to profit from metabolically healthy people who eat a proper human diet.

·   The origins of health insurance can be traced back to the Nixon administration's wage freeze, which led to companies offering it as a fringe benefit to attract employees.

• Insurance companies saw an opportunity to make millions and created health insurance products with raised deductibles and lower coverage for profit.

• The current healthcare system in the United States faces challenges, including rising premiums and the debate over universal healthcare.

[40:20] Cooking and Nutrition: Does Cooking Take Away the Food's Benefits?

• Cooking above 120 degrees Fahrenheit can denature some vital vitamins, polyphenols, and phytonutrients in food, but it is typically a small amount.

• Minerals and electrolytes are not affected by cooking, as they are elements on the periodic table.

• Cooking unlocks a bunch of nutrients that are not accessible in raw food.

• The raw food movement failed because it was difficult to consume enough raw plants to provide the body with sufficient nutrition, and people lost weight to the point of becoming unhealthy.

• Humans have been cooking food for at least 1 million years, and our bodies have evolved to optimize digestion with cooked food.

• Cooking meat for a medium rare or medium level of doneness mimics our ancestors' ways and provides many benefits with few drawbacks.
