It is also an inflammation marker. 35:50 Linoleic acid LDL oxidation hypothesis 37:30 Plant-based diets 40:25 Lowering your intake of omega 6 improves your omega 3 index. 41:10 Low vitamin D 42:00 Sun exposure has been misunderstood. 44:10 Triglycerides is a higher risk than LDL. 48:30 Bioidentical hormones are superior to synthetic. 50:03 Low testosterone is a risk factor for heart disease. 53:10 Heart surgery does not fix the underlying problem.

    The LDL Cholesterol Story is Falling Apart: Focus on THIS Instead

    A new study finds poor metabolic health and low HDL is a greater predictor of coronary artery calcium than LDL cholesterol.  Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the Berberine Fasting Accelerator  by MYOXCIENCE: https://bit.ly/berberine-fasting-accelerator  Use code podcast to save 12% Video & Links to study: https://bit.ly/3Zj56fA Time Stamps:  0:00 Intro 0:30 LDL does not correlate with the degree of coronary artery plaque. 1:02 HDL is protective against coronary artery disease and plaquing. 2:10 Triglycerides correlate with diabetes, coronary artery disease and plaquing. 3:45 HDL size is highly predictive. 5:15 LDL, vLDL, and IDL had no strong association. 8:00 LDL may be lower with prediabetes and diabetes, reflecting imbalance. 12:10 HDL is increased by lifestyle. 13:00 Plaquing is more common in diabetics. 15:47 High triglycerides increase odds of metabolic disease by 100%. 18:00 The smaller HDL particles become, the less protective they are. 19:13 Coronary artery calcium is associated with HDL size, concentration and composition. 21:20 High HDL with low triglycerides is linked with better metabolic health. 23:10 Exercise increases the size and number of your protective HDL.

Heavier, more muscular individuals may require higher doses compared to lighter individuals. 6:41 Special Considerations for Vegans, Vegetarians, and Carnivores - The impact of diet on creatine needs. Vegans and vegetarians might see greater benefits from supplementation, while carnivores may already get sufficient creatine from red meat. 7:38 Non-Muscular Benefits of Creatine - Potential non-muscular benefits of creatine, such as improvements in verbal acuity, cognitive performance, mood changes, and post-concussive recovery. 8:30 Conclusion and Recommendations - Summary of key points: no need for dextrose to enhance creatine absorption, tailored dosing based on diet and body weight, and the importance of taking creatine with electrolytes around exercise.
