Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. In this special episode, Dr. Tro is joined by Dave Feldman, Dr. Nick Norwitz, and Dr. Adrian Soto Mota. In this podcast, Doctor Tro interviews these guests, who are also his co-authors, on their new paper published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition. The paper found that there may be ways to predict which people will experience a rise in their LDL on a low carb diet and those who won't. Furthermore, they showed in a case series of patients from Doctor Tro's office that this high cholesterol may be reversible with the re-introduction of carbohydrates. In this conversation, Tro, Nick, Adrian, and Dave talk about the fruits of their research and years of labor. Among the topics discussed are the elimination of biases from research findings and observations, the lean mass hyper responder phenotype, how to determine individual likelihood of risk for various diseases, observations on fluctuations in LDL cholesterol and its relationship to dietary saturated fat, current research projects in the works, and the psychology of Twitter hate.
