Is high cholesterol on a keto diet always a problem? | Dave Feldman and William Cromwell, Md
Dave Feldman and Dr. William Cromwell dive deep into the safety of high cholesterol on a keto diet. They discuss the lipid hypothesis, ApoB's role in atherosclerosis, interpreting mortality data, and the complexities of plaque formation. The conversation challenges traditional views on lipidology, explores biomarkers, gut health supplements, and macrophage involvement. They also touch on longevity habits, research design for hyper-responders, managing high cholesterol levels, and analyzing plaque risk in different diet contexts.

Sky High LDL and No Heart Disease? Results from Dave Feldman’s New Study
In this engaging discussion, Dave Feldman, an engineer and CEO of the Citizen Science Foundation, challenges conventional wisdom about LDL cholesterol. He reveals fascinating insights from his latest study, showing that lean mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets can exhibit elevated LDL without increased heart disease risk. The conversation delves into the importance of ApoB over LDL, the complexities of cardiovascular health, and the necessity for individualized risk assessments. Feldman's work encourages a reevaluation of how we view cholesterol in relation to metabolic health.

Cholesterol & Heart Health: Insights from LDL Research on Keto with Dave Feldman & Nick Norwitz, PhD
Join citizen scientist Dave Feldman, founder of the Citizen Science Foundation, and Nick Norwitz, an Oxford PhD and Harvard medical student, as they challenge traditional views on LDL cholesterol and heart health. They discuss their research on lean mass hyper-responders, revealing that LDL levels might not correlate with plaque buildup in keto dieters. The duo also highlights how advanced imaging techniques could redefine cardiovascular risk assessment, pushing for a fresh perspective on cholesterol management and dietary impacts on long-term health.

Lipid Experts: LDL DOESN'T ALWAYS Clog Arteries - Ford Brewer MD MPH - PrevMed Health
Dave Feldman, an engineer known for his research on lean mass hyper-responders, Nick Norwitz, a human metabolism PhD from Oxford studying at Harvard, and Adrian Sotomata, a physician internist with an Oxford PhD, challenge conventional wisdom about LDL cholesterol. They discuss how high LDL levels don’t always indicate cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the importance of personalized health strategies and lifestyle choices. The conversation critiques traditional lipid management, explores the complexity of dietary influences, and highlights the need for nuanced approaches to health.
