Ep. 347 Expanding Perspectives on LDL, Lipids, and LMHRs with Dave Feldman

Published: March 27, 2024, 7 a.m.

I am honored to reconnect with Dave Feldman today. Our last encounter was in December 2020, for Episode 128, where we delved deeply into the topic of cholesterol.\nDave is an engineer by profession. He is profoundly clever and commands great respect within the low-carb and keto community due to his willingness to challenge prevailing narratives, encouraging us to explore alternative perspectives on lipid metabolism and reconsider our understanding of LDL, particularly in the context of lean mass hyper-responders like myself.\nIn our discussion today, we dive into how LDL became so vilified, with Dave shedding light on several crucial research findings. We explain what low-mass hyper-responders are, examine biases and cognitive dissonance, touch on Dave\u2019s new LMHR study, and discuss the Miami Heart study, a longitudinal study of the roles of LDL and plaque burden. We also explore the impact of ApoB and reflect on the essence of science as a pursuit of truth, and Dave shares what lies ahead for himself and his research.\nI trust you will find this conversation engaging and thought-provoking.\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nWhy LDL is considered a villain\xa0\n\nHow AMRs and APB lipoproteins have influenced how we look at risk stratification\n\nWhat is a lean mass hyper-responder?\n\nHow a low-carb, high-fat diet can improve the metabolic health of lean mass hyper-responders\n\nHow Dave, an engineer turned scientist, challenges conventional wisdom in the health and wellness space\n\nDave discusses a study on plaque progression in healthy individuals, focusing on correlating LDL levels\xa0\n\nHow we are at the forefront of finding the significance of lean mass hyper-responders and LDL\n\nDave shares the next thing he and his team will look at to substantiate his findings on lean mass hyper-responders\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\n\n\nFollow on Twitter\n\n\nInstagram\n\nLinkedIn\n\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\n\n\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\n\n\nConnect with Dave Feldman\n\n\nOn his website\n\n\nInstagram\n\n\nX\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\n\n\nFacebook\n\n\nPrevious Episode Mentioned\nEp. 128 \u2013 Cholesterol Obsession: Why It\u2019s the Intellectual Property of the Animal Kingdom with Dave Feldman
