Timestamps:

0:00 – intro

1:14 – what is the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) phenotype

3:33 – how the Lipid Energy Model challenges the mainstream dogmatic view linking high cholesterol levels to heart disease

6:33 – the protective effects of cholesterol and why it does not cause heart disease, despite being necessary for atherosclerosis

9:49 – the distinction between Lean Mass Hyper-Responders and those with high cholesterol levels in the context of metabolic dysfunction

15:10 – what is the Lipid Energy Model

22:10 – how the body adapts to a lack of carbohydrates, leading to elevated cholesterol levels

27:22 – the hormonal and metabolic state underlying the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder phenotype

32:21 – how adding carbohydrates lowers cholesterol levels in those who don't have metabolic dysfunction at a cellular level

37:11 – whether Lean Mass Hyper-Responders are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease

42:00 – why the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder phenotype isn't ideal: stress and low thyroid function

51:10 – the parallels between the lipid energy model and physiological insulin resistance
