Episode notes
LDL Is A Transport Particle
- LDL is a transport particle, not cholesterol itself, and particle size matters for risk.
- On low-carb/ketosis you tend to get larger, less harmful LDL particles, so context matters more than the LDL number.
Eliminate Irritants To Heal Gut
- Try an elimination approach and consider a carnivore or very low-carb diet to reduce gut irritation and support healing.
- Use gut-support supplements like colostrum (sheep if sensitive) and zinc carnosine to aid repair.
Rest During Prolonged Fasts
- Consider resting fully during prolonged fasts to maximize autophagy and repair.
- If your goal is weight loss or insulin sensitivity, you may add exercise cautiously and monitor how you feel.
