Episode notes
Heart's First Dibs on Fats
- The heart gets preferential access to dietary fats, delivered via chylomicrons through the lymphatic system.
- This ensures the heart primarily burns fatty acids, its preferred fuel source, over glucose.
Heart-Fat Cell Communication
- The heart communicates with fat cells through a direct signaling pathway.
- This pathway may regulate fatty acid mobilization based on the heart's metabolic needs.
Lean Mass Hyper-Responders
- Lean mass hyper-responders experience increased LDL cholesterol on low-carb or carnivore diets.
- This is potentially due to increased fasting, ketone production, and altered liver cholesterol reabsorption.
