Gregory, please explain more because my LDL is high and I don't want to take meds. I can lower it in a month. I believe eating too many egg yolks cause it because there is nothing else in my diet that has the bad cholesterol

Words alone cannot express how helpful and educational this podcast was for me.

I was 185lbs and now 133lbs and I did it all by myself by changing my diet and exercise and meditation with daily affirmations and gratitude and lots off volunteering to local communities. I wish there’s more Drs like your guest who can help others with being Frank and honest.

I just love these doctors. Few doctors seems to actually care about their patients. These doctors actually care about the best treatment options, including the best options: diets and lifestyle. I have Dr Hyman's book, highly recommended.

I am 53, female. I have had high familial cholesterol since my 30’s. I just tested with HDL 60, LDL 194, and triglycerides 125. I am not overweight, my blood pressure is normal, I do not smoke, I am not a diabetic. The test results have cause my doctor to freak out! I am trying to justify with them to not take statins, and it is difficult. They want low fat, high fiber diet for three months before retest. I have been through this before and my cholesterol did not go down with a low fat diet. So tired of fighting them.

Your levels aren't "bad" & can be "improved". Limit, greatly restrict or remove processed foods, sugar & seed oils from your typically eaten foods. Good fats/proteins are super important. Please, don't take my word for it. Read and study good truth- speaking doctors. Sugars, simple sugars specifically, cause liver inflammation, (non-alcoholic )fatty liver disease, smaller LDLs ('bad' because the small LDLs can be oxidized more easily than 'large/normal' LDLs) pre-diabetes & lots of other harmful physical conditions. Basically, people who go 'keto', plant-based, carnivore, whole-food meat-based, etc, generally get rid of sugar, seed oils & processed foods. Sorry, at first listen or read, this all seems complicated, but you'll get it. Keep at it. The issue is that there's infinite variables; genetics, diet, drugs, lifestyle, etc, so it is incredibly complex. Make small changes & do bloodwork to verify what the changes do, FOR YOU. I'm not the final word, please, read for yourself. Listen to & take in data/info from everyone. Validate with legit studies & good lectures/interviews with referenced facts. Good fats: natural saturated fats (ghee, lard, coconut, etc), mono-unsaturated (omega-9; avocado & cold-pressed ultra olive oil) and naturally-found omega-3 (ALA, EPA, DHA) & omega-6. DHA comes from algae, which is eaten by cold water fish (wild caught sardines, etc). ALA/EPA is found in chia, hemp, flax seeds. non-GMO/grass fed Meat has a good blend of many fats. Sorry, I could go on for days. I have some knowledge, a Nutrition science degree, medical school, years of genetic-lab work, an electrical engineering degree, and years of study, continuing to this day. I read and take data from all sources, then validate what's legit & try to figure out what is the real effect in your own life. Good luck.

I work in the health field & I’ve always been interested in nutrition. After reading your book “Food: What the heck should I eat?” in March I found your website & then your podcasts. First of all, I enjoy them & find them so fascinating. I have been listening to your podcast now for about 6 months. I still find them fascinating but I’m so frustrated by the lack of our government, food industry, & medical doctors acknowledging this information & implementing the things you suggest for the health of all. You always ask your guests if the were king for the day what would they do? If I were king for the day I would put you & your colleagues in charge of the food & health governing bodies in the USA. Maybe then we would see a change! I would also make food education that you espouse mandatory for all. If you don’t know better, you can’t do better. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Yes. To protect against dementia. Nature kicks in to protect us

My paternal grandmother had atherosclerosis in the days before anyone knew anything about cholesterol. She had a heart attack when she was 57 but when on to live to 92. The first time my cholesterol was analyzed, it was 305. I was 35 and pretty fit owing to a lot of walking and cycling. I didn't start taking statins until I had gone through menopause. Then my HDL dropped and my LDL went up, but was never as high as these doctors discuss. After many years on statins, I started having a higher than normal glucose reading and have been taking Metformin, which still causes me to vomit occasionally and often causes nausea in the mornings. I wrote my cardiologist yesterday and asked to stop taking Lipitor for a while in an effort to see what effect it would have on my glucose levels, as well as my muscle strength and the wretched cramps I get in my legs. My cardiologist's office didn't argue with me or try to talk me out of doing this; they just said to keep them posted about whether the side effects abated. No one in my family of origin is diabetic. So it's a bet I'm willing to take at age 82. I have been diagnosed as having atherosclerosis too, like my grandmother. For me, if I can walk back that diabetes thing and be able to walk a city block here in Chicago without panting, it'll be worth the effort. My diet is pretty much the Mediterreanian one. I don't watch my fat and oil consumption on the advice of Jason Fung, and I keep the carbs on the low side but not entirely absent. I am overweight but my weight is stable within a 4-pound range.

Just a few points. Metformin and other anti-diabetic drugs work by restricting sugar absorption from the bowel. So, why not just eat less sugar in the first place? Statins cause protein breakdown, so you can be pretty sure that symptoms like muscles aches etc. are caused by statins. In some cases this protein breakdown has caused sudden and catastrophic liver/kidney failure - this is why you have your liver/kidney function monitored when you're on them Final point, there is no good evidence that a) statins reduce cholesterol b) no evidence that cholesterol causes atherosclerotic disease c) no evidence, not even a statistic correlation that cholesterol, is a risk factor in the over 50s or women. Just avoid processed food, eat a varied fresh meat/vegetable based diet, keep physically active, maintain good social relationships, and do some mentally stimulating activities and you'll be golden. All these things have been proven to improve health & longevity. The only things that these other things improve are food and pharmaceutical industry profits.

It’s really difficult to go to a doctor and I haven’t found even one naturopathic md who has room for more patients. Appreciate greatly having this reinforced!

The trouble with sugar is, as soon as this comes out, a lot of chemicals will replace it. They'll find something to replace sugar every time. As soon as keto came to fruition, out came all the factory-made keto junk. None of which were keto.

Love you guys for your transparency and intelligence Thank you so much.

I was on a statin for years and stopped about 4 years ago.

I really appreciate what Dr. Asseem has to say vis-a-vis Statins. MY cardio doc in Kaiser wanted me on statins. I've been a lifelong trail runner ( going on 50 years now) I'm still running and racing (still place in my age group) trail runs. I'm also heavy 228 lbs but have lost over 50 lbs with surgery and have (recently) gotten past prostate cancer ( radiation and hormone depravation). I'm having great success with vitamin k2, mega dose vitamin C, fish oil etc. . Also - studies on lifelong endurance athletes show increased Coronary calcification ( true for me too) but with increasing cardio respiratory fitness - the risk of bad CV events goes down. From my perspective - my long endruance athlete record trumps the use of statins and there are large scale studies that do show that as well.

I am just reading Dr. Malhotra's book "A Statin Free Life", which is amazing. Along with Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Philip Ovadia it has given me the courage to tell my doctor how bad I felt on high dose statins. Thankfully my primary care physician is supporting my lifestyle changed. My cardiologist however is not happy. He is totally in the prescribe high dose statins first.

Stop eating sugar and carbs, start eating meat and animal fats. Stops you getting diabetes, which triggers many other problems. Do not try to reduce cholesterol, it repairs sugar damage and keeps your brain healthy (your brain is the single biggest repository of cholesterol in your body). There is a clear correlation between dementia and the craze to reduce cholesterol…

6 years ago I suffered an MI and have been shovelling 80mg of Atorvastatin down my neck ever since. This has been making me feel like I'd done ten rounds with Mike Tyson every morning and have found this site as a consequence of being in a DIABETES prevention programme since the long term use of high dose Statins is making me pre-diabetic. This pain is about to cease after hearing your talk. Many thanks Doctors, you have truly changed my life!!

Thank you two for the great information on Statins. I have been on them for 1.5 years and in that time have lost 23lbs of muscle (178 to 155 lbs) and have had constant fatigue (I'm 6' 1" tall). My shoulders were so sore I couldn't do any upper body strength training. My fatigue kept me from doing a lot of activities - In the last 6 months, I was sleeping about 15 hours a day. And when I don't exercise, I'm not hungry so I'm caught in a loop. I stopped taking Statins one week ago and feel better already. I also noticed improvement in another effect that has been plaguing me for about 15 years - neuropathy in my feet. My left foot being the worst. Since taking Statins, my left foot on the ball has steadily gone almost completely numb. I am starting to get feeling back in my left foot now and I'm convinced it has to do with being off Statins for a week - I haven't changed anything else diet-wise or physically. I believe this may be attributable for the good things that LDL does for your body. BTW - I have recently had a chemical Stress Test, EKG, and ultra sound, ejection fraction - all came out fine with no problems. I do have a couple of questions though - (1) does a buildup or high LDL level have a direct correlation to calcium buildup in the heart arteries? I had 80% blockage in 2 of my heart arteries and got stents a year and a half ago. I'm not the typical poster boy for clogged arteries as my cholesterol has always been good, never been overweight, always exercise, have a healthy diet, and no family history of heart attacks. My Total cholesterol has always been around 190-200 and HDL around 75-90. I've read where I may have small particle LDL which is more likely to cause artery clogging so that might be the culprit. (2) Will an increase in my LDL have any effect on the blood flow through my stents? Thank you.

@dudeatx

Жыл бұрын

Hi. There is no evidence that LDL either has an effect on fatty build up (atheroma) or calcification (arteriosclerosis). The latter is a normal part of the ageing process but accelerated by genes, diabetes and smoking, it's basically a process of oxidisation is occurring over years. If you want to learn more about this topic I suggest you watch some Rhonda Patrick vids. She explains the small particle LDL/oxidation process in detail. But blood flow through your stents won't really be affected by anything you eat in the short term. By the way the reason you are "not the typical poster boy" is because the information we are told about animal fats, cholesterol and heart disease is a complete scientific fallacy - the only probable diet relation to heart disease is sugar consumption via diabetes. This is demonstrable through triglycerides which are directly raised by sugar consumption and known to be a risk factor but funnily enough doctors never mention this.

Such an excellent podcast! Thank you, Dr. Hyman, thank you, Dr. Malhotra. Way to go, the grass-root movement already started thanks to your courage, to tell the truth. I love the comment about people making money doing bad things v. good thinks. Amen to that! Without the truth, there is no free market.

What an amazing conversation. They mentioned food ads and what is at sporting events and schools....But let’s talk about what is in most US ERs as “snacks” for patients and family members....honey graham crackers, saltines, apple juice cups, or a slab of crap deli meat in between two pieces of white bread. Sugar on sugar on sugar. Wheat on wheat on wheat. Absolutely no fats, and low quality low amount protein. Houston ER nurse here. And I go to work with my soft boiled eggs, sardines and tuna and never ever have the desire to touch that lab made food. True satiation from REAL fats and protein closes the appetite down, powers the mind, doesn’t bloat you or weigh you down and keeps me sharp and not distracted with hunger while I’m working. But these crap “snacks” leave the patients (and other doctors and nurses) hungry and irritable... but these are cheap cheap cheap. Terrible system. Such a shame

Yes, people need correct information, truthfully presented. Liars in industry and in government agencies cannot thrive against truth and truthful competitors. Corruption deserves contempt and prosecution; it is truly hateful behavior. Thank you for this good work you are doing.

In my local supermarkets most shelf space is given over to highly processed cereals, soft drinks and snack foods. Most of the shoppers are obese.

I’m totally agree! We need more people like you to spread the truth! Thanks

Thank you both for this beautiful conversation between too beautiful and caring human beings ! God bless ! ❤🙏❤

Excellent. But... I watched an interview yesterday conducted by Dr. Rhonda Patrick with Dr. Ron Krauss on the subject of cholesterol and CVD in which he stated in several different ways how the science was settled (sound familiar?) in terms of various lipid fractions causing CVD, and how statins were definitely a major component of the solution. Lotsa work to be done before the tide turns.

You both speak the truth...and show the corrupt nature of research....thank you! Keep on speaking the truth!!!

So grateful to both of you! Wish there were many more like you!!❤

Thank you BOTH Dr. Hyman and Dr. Malhotra for sharing this crucial information.

When more docs think like this, medicine will be trusted more

Most people are misinformed. Your program must be advertised and widespread.

This needs parliamentary enquiries to control the food and pharmaceutical influences .

Thank you both for speaking the truth and being transparent!! We need more Doctors like you in this world 🌎!!

I'm always shocked how so nany nurses are quite over weight.

Going to see Dr Malhotra talk in Brisbane, Australia! Yeah!

God bless you, for sharing REAL information. I believe in you. This is important for the future generations have all this videos well explained.

Thank you both for spreading the truth! You have so many people behind you supporting you, referencing you and all your valuable information. Thanks for all you do!

Probably 80% of the people that are prescribed stains also changed their eating habits. When you are told you may have a heart attack you take things more seriously. So how can they say For sure that statins are the reason you’re not getting a heart attack. The day my wife stop taking statins was the day I saw her go to her knees with muscles cramps.

Statins lower cholesterol. Unfortunately, cholesterol isn’t the problem.

I wish Dr Hyman would interrupt less and have better eye contact. The other doc appeared irritated at times that Dr Hyman appeared preoccupied with his notes.

i had a heart attack in January, no high blood pressure and no high cholesterol, the doctor put me on cholesterol medication and blood thinners, I'm 52 and in pretty good shape

Thank you Dr Malhorta and Dr Hyman. I leaned so much from this podcast and Dr Hyman's book. I will now be reading Dr Malhorta's book. What can the viewers do to help spread the word that food is the medicine? I am so disgusted with the prices they charge us to heat organic and healthy.

What a great talk guys, it’s nice to hear some honesty from our doctors. Thank you . 🙏🏻

Very interesting discussion. The best thing would be to tax sugar just like tobacco was and would make sugars and refind foods too expensive and the tax would help pay for the health care system. I’ve been on a keto diet since December 2019 and feel great and off all my drugs.

Please don't ignore the issue of statins in treatment against Stroke when a person has had a brain bleed and numerous TIAs. The statin discussion is focussed only on heart disease. The omission of Stroke is a real weakness in the debate. Otherwise I do appreciate your work Mark!

Excellent video, Let's hope the process of change gathers speed!!!

Thank you both for telling the truth as how to attain good health.❤

Thank you very much for putting us all straight as I have refused to take a Statin. Unfortunately, I find they spoke too fast.

Great interview! Thank you.

Thanks for the medical advise; I stopped statins today. I will report back in a year if I am still alive.

I love the honesty and perspective of this talk. in the end being king for one day. If people would have access to reliable information on health and than start applying it the medical world and medicine would schrink dramatically. If people have good healthy lifestyle, health would be the normal status of people. Doctor's came because people are sick

There is no discussion of particle numbers , small verses large and there significance . Also how apo4 gene plays a role in fat metabolism.

Frightening that this interview is 4 years old and so little has changed for the better. 😢

Very informative, I have learned a lot. Thank you.

Dr Fuhrman agrees!!! Food, natural, is best! He does believe in greens, beans ( legumes), onions, garlic, mushrooms, berries, and seeds and nuts!! That’s all you need to fight heart disease and cancer etc!!

@Dr Aseem Malhotra, I will appreciate your input on familial hypercholesterolemia management using statins. Thank you.

that said, amazing dialogue and greater elevated truth about the crap around us everyday !!!! thanks

Thank you both so much for what you are doing!
