I had Afib, high blood pressure, some thickening of my left atrium and the septum, high blood pressure, some plaque in Coronary Arteries, eczema, 34 BMI, high triglycerides, sleep apnea, acid reflux, etc…. I was a vegan eating a ton of fruit, grains, …. Always hungry and getting fatter and sicker every day. Cardio wanted to put me on 5 scripts including 2 statins. I took the statins for a month incorrectly, then took at night correctly. On the third day, I woke up at 2 in the morning with horrible headache. I jumped online, found about statins and the bs and how the doctors will disregard the adverse side effects …. Next appointment my cardio yelled at me straight out of the playbook that the adverse headache wasn't caused by the statins (I never get headaches) when I told him about the headache and that I wasn't going to take statins. Anyway, I gave up on vegan, went hardcore keto meaning zero carb and HIGH fat (keto is not a meat diet … too much protein), started 3 day fasting regularly, supplementing w d k2 c potassium chloride and magnesium, I lost 80 pounds, my triglycerides went down to 75, hdl went up to 55, ldl went to 100, heart shrunk, CAC went to zero for all 4 coronary arteries. My cardio had to discharge me as a patient because all my risk factors went below what my insurance required for cardiac care. He said I was the only patient he ever discharged and that I was the only one that ever lost the weight and lowered all the risk factors and had a zero CAC. His final words were “what did you do again?” I told him, he wrote it down, I never saw him again.

Dr. Lustig saved my life ten years ago when I found his lecture "Sugar, the bitter truth". We downloaded the youtube video and played it on the big screen in the living room. After cutting out the sugar (all of it) my cholesterol fell by half, and while I didn't lose any weight, my blood pressure came down with the cholesterol. Back in November 2023 (three months ago), I read his book Metabolical, and since using the information in that book, I have EFFORTLESSLY lost 40 lbs in three months. I capitalize "effortlessly" because that's important. I'm not using super-human willpower to fight cravings or hunger. I don't count calories, I don't restrict my food intake, I just cut out the processed food and let the chips fall where they may to see what happens. What I learned from my experience is that the processed foods are why I was always hungry. Before following his information, I would get so hungry I couldn't concentrate on anything but the hunger. It was a physical hunger pain that wouldn't go away until I ate something. After his book, I don't even get hungry for at least 10 to 12 hours, and if I get even a little distracted by something, I'm likely to forget I was hungry for a few more hours. For the first time in my life a few days ago, I forgot (FORGOT!) to eat dinner. I was shocked in the morning when my wife asked why I didn't reheat what she left for me in the fridge. I have lost 40 lbs in three months and just had a blood test.. my liver tests AST and ALT are back in the green and falling, and my triglycerides dropped 40%. My knees no longer hurt, and I don't wake up every morning feeling like I'm hung over. Thank you Dr. Lustig. If I had the opportunity I would shake your hand and thank you personally.

@@colinobriant6895 Breakfast is usually 3 or 4 scrambled eggs with kale and oat bran fiber mixed in. I will almost always have a cup of Kimchi on the side with the eggs. I usually skip lunch, but if I don't, or if the psychology of needing to shove something in my mouth comes up, its usually a small piece of hard white cheese with a handful of pecans or walnuts. Dinner is whatever my wife makes, but never anything processed. If you're loosing weight, your cholesterol and LDL is going to go up.. that's what happens when your body harvests fat stores and burns them. I also add a lot of flax seed to my meals whenever I can, like mixing into the soups my wife makes. We purchase whole flax, then grind in coffee grinder as we need. Chia seed as well. (Keep your flax in the freezer or fridge) Dinners that are not soups, will always be a some dead animal or another with lots of vegetables like roasted brussels sprouts or steamed asparagus or something else. And lots of butter on them. I also make sure to eat one fruit a day.. Usually a couple small tangerines or an apple or banana. Snacks are things like Kifer and flax seed, or blueberries. When you stop losing weight, your LDL and total cholesterol will fall.. Your triglycerides are far more important. Read the book "METABOLIC" by lustig.. they have an audio book version.. it was fascinating and stunned me.

(Not to be confused with plasma donation). This is a personal sacrifice of two hours I’m on this machine each month. (I feel like I’m doing something positive). The process is where they take blood, separate out the platelets and return the red blood cells and Plasma. Hanging above the machine is the bag that holds the collected platelets. My technician says you can tell a lot about someone’s diet by the color of their platelets. You can tell a lot about your blood chemistry by the color of your platelets. They are yellow in color. My technician loves my platelets, she says, mine are the most perfect she has ever seen. Mine are a clear golden yellow. Everyone else theirs are a milky yellow due to the triglycerides or suspended fats in their blood. (Platelets only have a 5 day shelf life and have to be constantly moving to prevent them from clotting). I’m in great shape for my age. I can do 100 push-ups. My dad lived to 90 on a similar diet.

Dr Lustig is such an incredible teacher!

I just had a lipid panel done. Using some heart-disease-risk calculation my primary care doc wanted to put me on a statin. I refused. My TG/HDL ratio is 1.8. I remembered watching this several months ago, returned to refresh the knowledge. Now, I would love to drop that ratio even more and will do some diet tweaks to accomplish that. All my other stats like BP (109/69)are great, particularly for my age (64) although I'm considered well over-weight. I take no medications. Last year, another doctor spent the entire session talking about putting me on Ozempic. Why? Because the intake nurse had miss-typed my height, off by nearly a foot. So, rather than actually LOOK at me and realize my BMI was NOT 42, the doc proceeded to advise me based on a complete error. I didn't take her "advice" either. Today, listening to this again, I had a cold chill wondering what I would've done had this type of information NOT been available to me. Thanks to Dr Means, Dr Lustig, and all the brilliant minds out there spreading knowledge to empower us.

note: your doctor is going to try to push statins on you. As you achieve fitness, and achieve getting rid of sugar and other simple carbs your LDL will rise. Like this doctor says, the important one is your TG/ HDL. (Dont you love the way that in a space of 100 years out of the million we have been here, that we have decides that heart disease is caused by LDL? It is not. LDL is a necessity for basically all life) I am 71 now, basically the epitome of physical fitness. Always have been, because of the work i did since childhood. In 2005 a doctor tries to push statins on me. I laughed at him and said "never". In 2017, my total cholesterol panel was 272, the HDL 75, the TG 43. My doctor tries to push the statins at me. I grinned at him, derisively. IF ONLY THE AVERAGE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY COULD HAVE THESE RESULTS! And weigh 157 at 5'11 inches But I need statins, by golly! Yes indeed I do!!! I have friends and relatives who fell for the hype back then, and many of then are dead, or are not really lookin too great! Jus sayin! In our modern society, we are INCREDIBLY able to lie to ourselves. We believe things like this: --- That heart disease is caused by lack of Lipitor in your body. (Your doctor actually believes this rubbish) --- Another fine example would be that tooth decay and obesity is caused by lack of aspartame in your diet!!! Wow! How gullible can we be???! --I could go on and on with the hilarious lies we apparently believe. In the western world we are involved in a pandemic, the proportions of which diminish this so called covid pandemic to a proportional nothing. (And btw, most of the people who died of covid, died because of the real metabolic syndrome pandemic!) And the remedy for all this is so very simple: Stop eating more food than you need. (This is really the most important one -- if you burn off all those calories you consume, on a daily basis, these things will not cause you so many problems, even if your food is not so good). Specifically, stop eating sugar, and the other simple carbs. Start, by not bringing this shit home from the store! FI, a "great sale" on Pepsi, is not a great sale, by any stretch of the imagination -- this should be your attitude. (And no, it does absolutely no good to replace it with diet pop, so dont go there!) Somehow we must start to eat to live, rather that living to eat! Your supermarket is literally stocked with "food" that is little more than sugars Literally 80% of the floor space. It is not food. It is candy, and convince ourselves, and then teach or children that this stuff is food Your doctor is going to try to push Lipitor at you. That Lipitor is for lazy people who have capitulated and realized that they do not have the self discipline to stop shoveling shit down their pie holes. In my country, 70% are overweight, half of those obese. They all have metabolic syndrome to some degree, and it is all done by personal choice. (It isnt something inherited, it isnt your doctors fault). This is really the only pandemic in America that matters today

My doctor ordered a pretty extensive test for me, from Labcorp. Got all the particle size breakdowns, LDL, HDL, IR, trigs, etc. It was empowering to have the details, not the broad, top-contour. Typically I would get labs once a year, but now I'm headed back in the Summer to run the tests again. Twice a year, at least, from here on out.

Absolutely brilliant video! So much real information, and for free.

Last one sent me to a heart clinic where they tried to talk me into a statin. I've always been fit and healthy and rarely ill. I'm 64 and all my other biomarkers are excellent. My triglyceride (65) to HDL (72) ratio is .90! In your words, if my ratio is less than 150 I'm "gonna live forever." I'm passing this episode to some of my cholesterol-worried family and friends. THANK YOU!

I guess you meant "less than 1.50". Congrats on your good health :-).

Same with me! I’m 73. My tri: 69 Hdl:77. Doc tried to put me on a statin and I did the research and refused. I’m looking for another doc, but they are harder to find these days- a good one, that is. I am fit, and work out regularly, still practicing law, healthy! Doc is a complete downer and doesn’t seem to care what the reality is. Oh- my CAC is zero! I took the test because she kept pressuring me. Still: lightbulb doesn’t go on.

@@michellejf777 Hi, the triglyceride to HDL ratio is determined by dividing the HDL into the triglycerides. For example, if your HDL value has been determined to be, say 75, divide that number into your triglyceride value, eg., 68, which will give a ratio of .91. And, according to Dr Lustig, the interpretation of this value is very strongly associated with good health. Best regards- hopefully this is what you were asking.

This was GREAT information. Thank you.

As a patient I saw a light at the end. Thanks.

Thank you for finally explaining this in a way I really get. My husband passed from Liver Cancer and it was just horrible. I am learning so much from you. thank you.

Thank you Casey and thank you Rob. Listening to you two passionate and intelligent medical minds speak and demystify metabolic health was so damn inspirational! 🙏❤️

Awesome interview. Very understandable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dr Lustig has many, many gifts as a medical practitioner, but his gifts of teaching and clarity make his knowledge and wisdom accessible.

As always, Dr.Lutig's interviews, talks, seminars, and cameos in documentaries are so very informative. Thank you Dr. Lustig for your expertise and advice.

Fantastic program thank you for your life long hard work looking for more of your episodes

WOW. Thank you SO much for this video! I just got my blood panel done and will look at it with way more interest and understanding. Dr. Lustig you are an amazingly articulate yet simple speaker that can educate in the most effective way, and Dr. Means, what great questions and summing up of the most important take aways for everyone to get. I thought I had a lot of other important things to do today, but watching this video is probably the most important thing of my life. Truly. Very grateful.

Great lesson for life. Thank you both!!!

You’re a terrific respectful interviewer. This is packed with useful info. Thank u

Thanks for the summary at the end Dr. Casey

One of the best discussions I’ve ever listened to. Thank you so much!

Thanks you both for this upload. This is so informative.

This was the best. Thank you, Casey!

Very important interview to understand cholesterol without a doubt. Thank you for your effort, Casey, in creating such an overall understanding of cholesterol at large.

Always learn something new from Rob. The portal circulation and the proinsulin story on this occasion. Liked the ALT take as well

Thank you Dr. Lustig... you are inspiring

Wow! Thank you both for caring enough to share so much essential information. I will be gifting the book to my family and my doctor if she does not have a copy. Love and optimal health to you and all your listeners. 😁❤

This was one of the best you tube interviews I have ever listened too!!! Fantastic!

Excellent discussion. You made it sooo clear… thank you!

So great; I really learned a lot. Thank you. I will remember Rob Lustig.

Thank you very much dr.Robert Lustig

#Dr.RobertLustig thank you for all you do! I got all your books and watched most of your lectures! Again thank you. There’s no word to describe how we appreciate you! Your brilliance is beyond!

Such a great episode, great guest! My HDL is 122 and my doc wanted to put me on a statin and my triglyceride level has gone up to 40. He did ask me if I was “one of those!” Yep, 71 year old fit Girl!!

How did u get HDL so high?

The clarity in this man’s thoughts is outstanding. He makes it so easy to understand these complex concepts. Many thanks for this video

Thank you so much for posting this interview.

The two portal systems in the body described by Dr. Lustig is such a succinct explanation, and easy to understand. THANK YOU!!

Fascinating interview! At my last yearly wellness physical check, I asked my doctor if there was a way to measure my level of insulin resistance and he told me that he was not aware of any testing to do so! I need to show him this KZread video and give him some post graduate education!

Tell him to take a true fasting insulin level. Research what the levels are to indicate well, pre diabetes, and full type two diabetes .

They just play dumb, making it look like your the dumb one. They know no one can call them out on it because they have medical knowledge that can be spewed out and can’t be readily fact checked without knowing if what their telling you is from a corrupted study. Your not going to change them anymore than you trying to get someone to change their religion or politics!

So so impressed with both of you! This is truly incredible and priceless content! So grateful for this

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING ALL OF THIS!

Im so impressed and encouraged. My cardiologist keeps increasing my Crestor even though my LDL is 96. She wants 70. My Tri/HDL IS 1.08!! Hdl is 81. Sode effects from Crestor have slowed me down so exercise is harder to do. Getting a handle on this!!! Thank you!

Very helpful! I love knowing about how the body works. I didn’t understand the LDL and hDL difference. Very helpful!

Omg i just saw this video and I absolutely fell in love with this amazing doctor!!! The way he explains complicated stuff and makes it so easy to understand!! Thank you doctor God bless you 💐

Wow! Excellent video! I immediately ordered the book. I have my next labs in about 10 days and I’m going to ask them for a fasting insulin test.

Another great conversation! I'm thrilled! I'm going to buy Rob's book too! So glad I found your channel!

Great job Dr.Lustig - Great content ! Best regards from Austria

This program gave me so much clarity on this subject and a piece of mind. Thanks!

All these points in this GREAT INTERVIEW are explained so well by Dr. Lustig that even a normal person can understand . Every piece of information in this exceptional dialogue is PURE GOLD on our way to a healthy life. Thank you !

Fantastic and informative. Now I have the tools to speak with my doctor about my “High” cholesterol. Loved this.

This is the video I needed and the information I needed! Thank you so much for this info! Dr. Lustig, you did such a great job explaining this! Again, I really appreciate this video! And Dr. Means did an excellent job of asking questions that we needed to know the answers to and then the recap at the end was perfect! Great interview!!!!

Great interview!!! Thank you for this.

Wow, this is an amazing interview. I just got my blood panels back yesterday from my annual exam, and this is hugely helpful for me in interpreting the numbers.

What a treat to listen to this valuable conversation. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Lustig ever since hearing his lecture on “Sugar The Bitter Truth.” This information is really going to assist my conversations with my elderly Dad and even BF. Both relatively healthy, active, and eat decently, but there’s room for improvement based on a few factors. Happy to say that my ratio is extremely low. Part of this is genetics, but a lot is my lifestyle. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing.

Sooooo helpful!!!!!!! Two strokes and a Quintuple heart bypass and now I learn this. Amazing. Thank you!!!!!!!

Amazing. What a great teacher. As a layperson I finally understand and am so thankful.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for ever Dr Lustig ❤️ for sharing your knowledge in detail, and of course to the presenter for asking and commenting in a way that educates the audience on such life saving topic 🌻

I don’t have words to thank you 🙏 dr Robert🙏🙏❤️

This was exceptionally valuable content! Thank you!

This was really an eye-opener for me - my rate vs. the liver range I've been looking at didn't look great, but based on this discussion, it is apparently really bad. Regarding sugar consumption I've slowed the rate considerably, but I still have a lot of work to do - it appears much more than I thought. Thank you Dr. Lustig and Dr. Means for this wake-up call.

Dr Lustig, Love your work. I'm halfway through Metabolical, Outstanding.
