Considerations for lipid lowering therapy
The speaker, as a trained medical professional, observed that his LDL levels were significantly higher when he followed a strict carnivore diet. Although his LDL remains above the reference range, he debated the need for statin therapy, acknowledging that lipid lowering therapy may be appropriate for individuals with monogenic FH, diabetes, or those unwilling to change their diet. However, the speaker also suggested that there is a strong case to consider avoiding lipid lowering therapy for individuals with different contexts, particularly those who are insulin sensitive.
