    Debunking Health Myths: Digging into the Truth About LDL Cholesterol, Heart Disease, & Keto Diet with Dave Feldman

    Debunking Health Myths: Digging into the Truth About LDL Cholesterol, Heart Disease, & Keto Diet with Dave Feldman

    The current thoughts around LDL cholesterol center on the fact that there is no scenario in which high LDL numbers could occur in healthy individuals. Traditionally, the belief is high levels of LDL can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of metabolic health. Today’s guest is here to share his hypothesis and research on how higher cholesterol levels in metabolically fit individuals could be a physiological response rather than a pathological response that can lead to disease. 
    Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss high levels of LDL in metabolically healthy individuals. Dave shares the current research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease in individuals eating a ketogenic diet. He also shares his personal approach to focusing on metabolic health and the key markers critical to overall health. Dave discusses the process and findings of the Oreo experiment conducted by his colleague and explains why this experiment further proves their hypothesis on how LDL particles move through the body. 
    Dave Feldman is a software and platform engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of the Citizen Science Foundation. Through a series of self-experiments and partnering with formal researchers, he has since published the "Lipid Energy Model," which may explain this phenomenon. 
    In this episode, Dhru and Dave dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):
    Dave’s hypothesis on LDL (00:24 /00:24)Rethinking our approach to high LDL (2:17 / 2:17) The research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease (10:00 / 6:48) The Oreo experiment and what it shows about fat adaptation (17:23 / 13:45)The pushback to lean mass hyper responder (27:36 / 24:15) Soft plaque versus hard plaque and the risk of cardiovascular disease (37:50 / 35:04) Dave’s personal approach in focusing on overall metabolic health (51:42 / 48:30) Fasting Insulin and Vitamin D (59:33 / 53:45) Endothelial health and cardiovascular health (1:03:28 / 57:45) The vegan’s twin study and the correlation to LDL (1:21:17 / 1:15:49)Dhru’s experience (1:32:17 / 1:26:36)

Too much quackery

I’ve heard some very good interviews on this podcast, but too often it’s someone with a highly controversial opinion that runs counter to mainstream expert consensus with a book to sell.

I’m all for a debate, but without expert counterpoint, this podcast gives too much sunlight to what amounts to quackery. Perlmutter is a prime example. I’m unsubscribing because I believe this podcast does harm by not contextualizing just how considered “out there” many of these guests are.

Overall love your podcast

Dhru is an excellent interviewer. He asks really insightful, well researched, and well thought out questions of his guests. He allows his guests to speak with minimal interruptions, thereby allowing the listeners to get the most out of their expertise. At the same time, he asks his guests to clarify many technical information that may not be understood by the average person.

When Dhru shares some of his personal experiences, they are always meaningful, but brief, so that it adds to the conversation, without taking over his guests’ time.

Overall, he allows the guests to shine which is important because he has selected these experts to educate the audience. I am an alternative medicine healthcare practitioner and I have learned a great deal from the varied topics that drew has focused on.

Thank you for a most informative podcast!!
