Dave Feldman

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.

Join experts Dave Feldman and Dr. William Cromwell as they debate high cholesterol risks on a ketogenic diet. Unpack lipid hypotheses, ApoB's role, mortality factors, and metabolic vulnerability. Explore cholesterol levels' impacts on atherosclerosis and the complexities of statin therapy for managing high LDL cholesterol.

In this engaging discussion, Dave Feldman, an engineer and expert on cardiovascular health, challenges conventional beliefs about cholesterol. He introduces the concept of lean mass hyper-responders and their surprising cholesterol profiles on ketogenic diets. The conversation highlights how LDL levels don't necessarily lead to plaque formation, emphasizing the need for a nuanced view of metabolic health. They also touch on the importance of calcium scoring, the effects of stress on fat accumulation, and the drawbacks of traditional health metrics like BMI.

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.

Topics include debunking health myths around high LDL cholesterol, the impact of ketogenic diets on cholesterol levels, the Oreo experiment challenging traditional perspectives, the nuances of LDL and plaque formation, and the impact of diets on LDL cholesterol levels.

Dave Feldman, a researcher studying LDL and cardiovascular risk, joins Paul Saladino on the podcast. They discuss a recent study about LDL and cardiovascular risk, the response from the medical community, and the role of credentials in online discussions. They also explore the risks and benefits of lipid-lowering therapies like statins and the effects of ketogenic and low carb diets on LDL cholesterol levels.

Dave Feldman, citizen scientist famous for The Cholesterol Code and self-experiments, explores why LDL often spikes on animal-based or low-carb diets. He explains rapid LDL shifts tied to metabolic state. They discuss cholesterol carriers, inflammation versus causation in plaque, lean mass hyperresponder patterns, and plans for coronary imaging to clarify risk.

Dave Feldman, Dr. Nick Norwitz & Dr. Dominic D’Agostino discuss the lean mass hyper-responder phenotype, Oreo vs statin study, role of exercise, alarming LDL levels, gym hypothesis, and the need for further research on ketogenic diets and cholesterol impact on health.

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.
