Steph I'm a longtime supporter and only want the best for you but why are you deleting every comment that says, "allow your doctor to speak and answer your questions rather than talking over her"? It's a valid question and I'm concerned about your score of 625?
Because the health system is highly corrupt and in league with big pharma. Modern health system is a joke on wanting to keep people sick to make money.
Many doctors are idiots and don’t update their knowledge. That’s why often it’s good to be alert yourself and not believe all doctors say from what they memorized at school
My husband always had good cholesterol numbers and then discovered (while on the Standard American Diet) with a CAC test, that he had LAD blockage estimated at 40%. We always exercised and ate our fruits and vegetables.
My husband and I looked at one another and had to laugh when your doctor said, “remember that on the Internet things that you read, there’s somebody behind it that has an interest in something and typically it’s your money” - Like Big Pharma maybe?
Oh and “Research that’s been manipulated” - Like the Harvard researchers who took $$$$ bribes from the sugar industry. Same researchers who told us sugar and fat-free is good? The chemicals sprayed on veggies and fruits are not worth the risk to ingest.
My husband and I are both carnivore now and love the ease of shopping, cooking and clean-up.
My last cholesterol test went up to 311. It has been in the 220 to 240 range. New test results from Quest laboratories said that I need to be genetically tested for Hypercholesterolemia. At the same time. I received an update from Sequencing (dna testing company) that I had a new variant for Hypercholesterolemia. In the last 20 years I have had 5 coronary calcium scans with a 0 (zero) score. Previously my internist has said I don't need statins because of my coronary calcium score of zero. I had an advanced lipid test that shows the number and size of both hfl and ldl. It appears that I have what I call
@@nancy97701 “It appears that I have what I call…”. You didn’t finish the thought?
Yes, give us the rest! Did you pass out in mid sentence, or is it to get us to think. And make up our own ending. Lol. Or perhaps,oh no! You didn't have a heart attack did you? I certainly hope not. Either way,please ginish the ending lol😊✌🏽👍🏼
Im about to head into my 6th year of carnivore. Stay on it and thrive. Bloodwork is just a guessing game.
I am 5 months on Carnivore and am about ready to visit my Dr for the annual blood work. Your current experience has me hanging on the edge of my seat. I am expecting this to happen to me. I am not lean like you but it would be my luck. I am hopeful you get answers and I can learn from your experiences . thanks for posting. I subscribed. hoping for the best for you both. Carnivore has me feeling great also and I love your common sense approach- if you feel better, you may not have to worry about the LDL in the long run. I agree with you both. no signs of ANYTHING BAD is a good thing IMO. cheers!
You might reach out to Dr. Philip Ovadia. He's the cardiac surgeon who wrote "Stay Off My Operating Table" (very good book). I've seen him on Dr. Berry's channel a couple of times and on Judy Cho's channel (Nutrition with Judy).
I'm thinking dr. berry or chaffee would be willing to advise her too.
Edit: I guess I didn't watch this far enough in. She did exactly that on one of his live shows. Glad she did that.
Dr ovida is the best. Has a book called stay off my operating table. Everybody should listen to him. He’s a cardiologist And totally into the carnivore diet.
Hi Steve Steph and Puddy i hope you get this all sorted out soon. Be careful and make sure you do what your doctor tells you to do!! Blessings take care. Your friend Joyce. Hugs and prayers 🙏
Everyone is different, you need to honor that difference. The person with an autoimmune disorder needs to be treated differently than a person without one.What puts Steve in balance appears to be taking you out of balance,
We ate hypercarnivorously for millions of years; we are genetically nearly identical. Why can't we do well on a meat only diet? Where's the evidence? We are the only species in nature who eats a diet incompatible with their physiology. All the other animals instinctively know what to eat, but we are silly enough to think we don't have such a diet.
Really appreciate you guys sharing all this helpful info!
So glad you are sharing this with us. I am wondering about this very thing but even Dr Berry said it hasn’t been proven yet
Berry said it's all his Hypothesis.
I'm 81 and been carnivore for three years. I also seem to be lean mass hyper responder. I can't eat egg whites, anything smoked, anything aged or even leftovers. Any time I've tried to add in either berries, cabbage, green beans I end up with joint and muscle and body pain. Then it takes me about a month to get rid of it again sooo I've decided to just keep on carnivore and I think I need to increase the fat. Thoroughly enjoying your channel. You keep it so interesting and relevant. Thanks for all you do.
PS, I've got three of those dresses ordered and am excited to get them, so cute ❣️
Good luck with everything guys!!!🐾🥰🥰🥰🐾
Your cardiologist will should run the plaque test I think. I’m really glad she’s referring you. You guys were speaking about wanting to know that info. Can’t wait to hear more. 🥰🥩🍗🍖🥓
That is an alarming number, but you look absolutely vibrant with good health, Steph! Will be interesting to see what the cardiologist says.
I'm finding this really interesting. I've been considering the carnivore diet because of how vibrant & healthy you both have become.
I'm one of those people who has good bloodwork but being honest, I'm really not feeling that great. I want my energy back!
I've added more protein and that has helped some.
I'm following your posts closely. Thank you for being so transparent & knowledgeable.
It's good that your Dr. Is still being opened minded about this. 😊 ❤ E Y L
Looking forward to hearing what the cardiologist says, definitely seems like everything will be fine for the main reason because of how good you feel.
Hi Steph,
I love your and Steve's videos. Especially diving ones.
Your results are alarming. Please consider your diet. All that meat could not be good for your body. We need vegetables,and balance is crucial. Ppl on internet promote some strange practices.
I would not change anything and then see what the cardio doc says. I ate some carbs last night and I couldn't sleep well, I felt like crap this morning, my energy was down really bad today. I am not going to do that again. I wish you luck. Listen to your body. Hugs and blessings to you both always.
Maybe the meat you are buying isnt truly hormone free or really grass fed beef. Things are not what they advertised. So much going on in this world today that the food we eat are not always being advertised as the TRUTH.
I would be worried about long term damage from a diet your body obviously doesn't need. But I am not doctor, just a caring subscriber.
I am very interested to see where this goes. I will be watching.
I find it useless to speak to my doctor. They are so alarmed and chastise me to get on a statin every time they see me. They could care less what I’m eating. What research did she do? None, she did none. She knows what she was taught and is towing the line.
Listen, I have had three stents put in AND a triple bypass surgery. I am not a nut heh heh just my word. Before each surgery and each heart attack I had been to my cardiologist two or three weeks and been run through tests…all my blood work came back normal… my stress tests on treadmill with nuclear dye were normal…my exams were normal. I finally asked my doctors if the tests could not predict a heart attack what could? So take testing with a caveat. More research needs to be done. Doctors can be all over the place regarding cholesterol and other factors. Eggs good or bad etc. People need to stay informed and make educated decisions. You guys do that.
My husband’s bloodwork was always pretty good with total cholesterol just a tad bit high, hdl over 50, crp almost zero, passed the stress test with flying colors just 2 weeks prior to getting a heart attack with 3 99% blocked arteries. So I believe these tests really tell you nothing. There is a lady I saw on youtube who did an angiogram without needing to (overseas) to get a firsthand look at her arteries - i think shes in her 60s or late 50s and had no blockages. She was eating on the lean side like chicken breast, veggies, fruits etc and then started doing carnivore or wanting to do carnivore. So its all really unknown other than that we feel good on the carnivore diet and ppl’s illnesses disappear. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree, you have to be your OWN advocate!!!
Wow, thanks for sharing your history.
🎉 awesome Dr Berry advice
My cholesterol is real high also. I had been doing this diet along with you. I have lost weight which is good but my LDL is too high. My doctor knows that I can not take statins. My doctor told me to take cod liver oil,fish oil and flaxseed oil and see if it lowers my cholesterol. I have a nother appointment for labs on the Dec. 1st. I'll tell you if it helps lower it. 🙏❤️
Cook with lots of oil! I use a lot of grape seed oil. My cholesterol is high, but my HFL is "too high." My doctor and I just laughed at that!
Can't wait to hear your results, I've been carnivore for 4 weeks and find it informative as what other people's blood results are so I know what to try if I get the same results as them. Thank you
What do you mean your LDL is too high? It is determined by your genes responding to the environment they are in. They are doing exactly what they are meant to and the leves are exactly what they should be given that point of time.
@@anitahaviland3036Grape seed oil is toxic and will kill you in the long run. All seed oils for that matter due to the way they are processed and their chemical composition.
Getting a CAC done is your best option. But just remember, there is NO scientific evidence that high cholesterol causes ANY heart problems at all. I do zero carb most of the time, but I do cycle through some carbs now and then. Have no idea what my cholesterol level is. Just enjoy feeling better. I'm over 60 so I'm sure I have some arterial plaque, especially since I ate so much sugar for so many years. But I'm not worried. I'm healing after being sick for many years.
My doctor said the same thing as your doctor. I went to the cardiologist (actually, I went to 2) and they want to put me on a statin. Won’t happen!!!! My LDL was 312.
Mine is was also 312 too and I will not go back on a statin.
@@fawnburgess1441 If the both of you (@paulettejackson1767) are on the carnivore diet, Arterial and organ inflammation and calcium deposits are of great concern. Protein does not offer anti-inflammatory properties. Introducing a balance of fruit and vegetables into your diet is far more important than being in ketosis.
Good stay off of drugs. Not healthy.
@@fawnburgess1441 Statins are evil. They cause you to be worse. I read a study that said that most people who take them it doesn't drop their numbers at all.
Get that HDL way up! Drink oil by the teaspoon if you have to!
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤. Love you. You both take care of yourselves.
Have you reached out to Dr Berry to ask him his thoughts? Just curious. Love following along and curious about tbe outcome. Best wishes!😊
oops!!! Guess it helps to finish watching the video, LOL. GOT MY ANSWER! Nickname isn't "Zany" for a reason!
Praying for you both that everything is ok. Mashelle in Texas
Good luck Steph..hope all goes well with you.
This may be the perfect human diet for some...but you always must keep in mind, that there is nothing that'll be perfect for everyone. We are all individual, we are all different. There have been some medical things globally in the last few years, many people forgot that we all react differently.
You may feel good, but not actually be good. I am a reformed drug addict, I felt real good on drugs -guess what, they weren't good for me, not even a little.
I love y'all. Please be so careful. I almost lost the man of my dreams 6 months ago to a heart attack. It was major. Not a single warning before. -much love ~Mary & fam in NJ
Concerned. Please take care of yourselves. 😊❤
Be sure you tell the doc that you never felt better as well. Good Luck with everything!
We too are on the Carnivore diet and both feel magnificent. We are anxiously waiting to see what you are told and or next steps to be taken. You guys are helping so many people. Thanks for being so diligent in finding an answer we can all live with.🥩

I have genetically high cholesterol over 400 since my early 20's and was on stain for more than 40 years I'm 65. Suffered for all that time with neuropathy, muscle pain and brainfog. In February I went off the stains and for the first time in more than 40 years feel good. In all of those years not even a little blockage. I started carnavore in June and you can see how much it went up but only the ldl. Everything else good.
Something I do every year is ""Life Line screening" they do 5 top cardiac tests for plaque very reasonable. I think my last one April was 125.00 When they are read if the find a concern they will immediately contact your doctor. You will also get a report to give your doctor. I pay attention to the things Dr Berry spoke of at the end of your video
WE had cardiac calcium test which they say is the most reliable indicator of heart health. My cholesterol is always high but my calcium score is low. Ketovore is an option too.
Or stay carnivore
I had a heart attack, no symptoms at all, period. Mine was due to low electrolytes, low potassium. I was dead for 22 minutes. There is nothing wrong with my heart. No blockages, etc. So please be careful!!
Did you have muscle tensions/cramps before the heart attack ?.
I was just about to ask if Steph takes potassium supplements.
You were not dead for 22 minutes.
@@debblouin yes I was. The firefighters worked on me for 22 minutes on the floor of the hotel I work at.
@@kenadams5504 zero symptoms
I hope she at least was encouraged by your great results for triglycerides, HDL, A1C, and blood glucose and not just focusing on one number. Thank you for sharing.
Follow the money like the drug companies 😂
She said “all” people have a varied diet and that’s actually not true. There are whole communities in other countries who have diets that are high protein high fat without many to no vegetables. And the studies about them show they have high “bad” cholesterol and low “good” cholesterol. The studies also show that these communities don’t have any cancer or diabetes or some other things we have in people with actual varied diets. So I always take doctors opinions with a grain of salt, because they don’t know everything -only what they’ve been taught, read, and also have opinions on. You have doctors who are totally against carnivore, who only know what they’ve been taught which includes the food pyramid and nutritional information that was highly influenced by big business (the food, sugar, and pharmaceutical industries). And then you have doctors that don’t know much about it, but are open to it. The. You have doctors who not only embrace it, but practice it themselves. At the end of the day, the only thing you can rely on is how you feel and how your health is.
What communities are these? I know that some Eskimo people used to rely primarily on fish, whale, blubber and grazing animal meat for large portions of the year but in spring and summer they added berries and foraged greens, veggies etc. to their diets. Most communities of humans thar don't necessarily farm are still groups of hunter gatherers. I'd be interested in reading about communities that rely solely on meat, fish, poultry and fats as their sole diet because I find the subject to be very fascinating. There is that one African tribe that raise cattle and pierce their necks and use the blood they let mixed with milk as their main source of protein. That allows the cows to live and tge people to have cows milk and a meal of milk and blood to sustain the people. If a cow has to be killed or for certain important ceremonies they will kill a cow and eat the meat, they feed the cow and bleed it before slaughter and they consider the partially digested grains and grasses from the cows stomachs to be really special food. That tribe will eat some foraged foods though and some food products they've traded for. I found it so interesting how they kept the cows alive but bled them for the protein due to it not being easy to afford or keep many cows in the areas they live. I can't remember the name of the people at the moment, so annoying.
She said "most communities" not every. Even the Eskimos ate seaweed and lichen and any other green they could get.
These are communities that have been on those diets for many generations, sometimes even centuries. Europeans for example have developed the ability to digest milk while other ethnicities can't. Our bodies can genetically adjust to certain diets in the cause of many generations. That is very different from a healthy person going on an extreme diet that is not common within that ethnicity at all for the past, say, several millennia.
WOW! I am living through you now. I just posted my situation on your channel ,which is very similar to yours last week. My doctor would NOT listen to me like yours did. I am not concerned about my 488 LDL, I wanted to discuss other things that he did not want to hear about. Your Doctor confronted you about who you are following which was suspect ,so my plan is to TRY to find a "carnivore aware" doctor.
Can't wait to hear the results from the cardiologist. I agree you should stay carnivore until the results are all out ❤🇦🇺
Wow. Very interesting! Dr. Berry 😊
Hi. I hope and pray, Stephanie, that your cardiologist doesn’t find any thing wrong with your vascular system. I have had high BP for years. I never knew it I felt absolutely fine. In 2015 my BP was 200/ 96 when I finally got on meds. High BP is the silent killer, I was told. Now my meds are cut in half, so maybe one day I can quit them all together. You should take the pills your Mum is on for cholesterol. Anyway, may God protect you, my dear. 🙏🏻💖from me to you. 🇨🇦
praying all workds out for you 2
Steph and Steve, take care of yourself. I am praying for y'all. God bless.
❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
I would be interested if you do a follow up video on your CAC
If you don’t have any metabolic issues … there’s nothing wrong with vegetables like green beans, winter squashes, bitter melon, avocados (all happen to be technically fruits) not for fiber, but for stabilizing gut microbiome. I’m not well versed but I’m learning about how an altered gut microbiome can affect hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease.. and I’m reevaluating the way ive been thinking about diet. What’s more important to me is not to fit into a way of eating for reasons of fitting in just because other ppl are having success (seemingly) with it. But rather, use carnivore as an elimination diet to improve the gut/ digestion and start re incorporating variety of foods to support diverse micro biome. That’s where I’m am. Your cholesterol number is alarming! Perhaps to be safe, don’t take it lightly. ❤
Sigh
The cholesterol numbers are not alarming and are to be expected. The genes responsible are clearly more intelligent than those who think the levels should be changed because they deem it too high. Irrelevant.
It's strange how different bodies respond to this diet. My total cholesterol dropped to 150 and my LDL is normal on carnivore. I hope you can get this figured out, that number is scary!
PS I eat dairy in the form of cheese only, and limited amounts of it. Like some cheese on my burger with bacon type of thing.
Your Dr certainly hasn’t done any Carnivore Research, however I would be concerned about your no’s too. Thx for sharing and keep us updated. Beware of the Statins they most certainly will want to put you on. Everyone’s bodies are different and perhaps your diet just needs a bit of tweaking. Ketovore might be for you 🌸
I'm curious if you folks consulted with your physician before embarking on your carnivore diet? It's so extreme. I agree with your doctor that humans have been eating a combination of foods for their overall health. Good luck with the cardiologist. I believe extremes of any kind can potentially be dangerous or at least, concerning.
Carnivore diet is the closest thing we have to how humans ate throughout most of history, you know before all these modern diseases we have now.
You have to realize that none of the fruits and vegetables you are buying in a grocery store are anything like their wild counterparts. Go look at what we have done to fruits like bananas, and this goes for all produce. Not to mention how much pesticides (hello round up) is in all produce, THAT is risky. If any one is doing something extreme it's the people eating all these new foods that we've only introduced in the last hundred years. Most people are eating tons of processed garbage that is even worse, but even these "healthy fruits and vegetables" did not exist in their current form until very recently.
Carnivore for over three months. Went from 245 to 205 lbs. One thing I think about is the modern american diet is relatively new with the sugar, fructose syrup, vegetable oils, etc. I don't believe humans have evolved to consume all these processed. gmo type foods. Just an observation.
You have to balance carbs, sugar, with meat and eggs
Yes I am the same. Yes Dr Cywes talks about it and putting in a few carbs to bring it down.
my husband eats a normal diet and his cholesterol was over 700 and at 23 yrs old he had a heart attack they put him on meds and brought it down but it was still high and had another heart attack at 31. we lowered his cholesterol and he ha been great and he is 45 yrs old now. 650 is wayyyy to high your ldl should be around 100.
I just had to do a little conversion (I’m in Canada, we use different units). My doc called me in a panic stating “your arteries are clogging as we speak”….my total cholesterol was 302 and ldl 204. I refused statins and told her not to worry, told her about LMHR, and said we could check the numbers again soon.. I’m not totally carnivore but eat very low carb to battle pancreogenic diabetes and autoimmune issues. To calm the good doctor I started taking a plant sterol supplement. Just a few months later my total cholesterol was 227 and ldl was about 150. I did not get a call from her…..hope she’s happy.
What supplement was this?
Coming from a cardiac background that cardiologist will immediately suggest statins
Maybe after seeing the cardiologist if they really want to put you on a medication maybe you can hold off on the medication and just add in some non starchy vegetables and low glycemic fruit such as berries, avocado, and tomato along with a little dairy to still keep yourself in ketosis, but give yourself a little carbs to see if that will lower your cholesterol to get the doctors off your back.
The doctor is correct when she says "on the internet, things that you read, there's somebody behind it, that has an interest in something, and typically it's your money".
Yep, and that includes the pharmaceutical companies and the hospital systems...
The people who have an interest in your money is the medical system.
Balance is needed. Im praying for you both.
What why
define "balance"
Steph I'm a NEW follower! Also carnivor w/very High lipids! You should test for Genetic Hemochromatosis! It's a fairly common genetic disorder of excess iron deposition which in turn can raise lipids. 1 in 300 ppl with 2 Parents of Northern European decent carry a gene which causes Iron overload. An iron overload will in turn raise lipids. Being on a super iron enriched diet makes me think this is the cause. My sister just got her results today and we were shocked to hear she's in that 1-in 300 which means I most likey am as well and never had a clue! This could explain our extremely high numbers. It's a simple test you should do to rule this out. Prayers, keep us posted!
Of course, each person is different & has to do whatever is best for them; no one should judge that. Make the appropriate decisions is up to you (whether modification, retesting, medications, etc.)
21 yrs ago, my LDL was consistently "above detectable readings". For many, many years.. prob decades. Yep, that high. Am still here & with zero cardiac issues.
Hoping all your testing turns out good! Be well
Whatever is best for YOU & your family, will be the right thing to do.
Dr Cywes has many episodes on how to interpret your blood work. I don't know if you know who the 2 Crazy Ketos are but they had him do their blood work and analyzed it as well. He also talks about other doctors that analyze the blood report. His UA-cam channel can be found just by his name.
Could try ct scan (experimental) to ck out arteries; hospital heart dept nurses told me of this - for what it's worth.
How can they think just eating meat and nothing else is healthy? Stop trying to be so trendy and eat a balanced diet. Re-work husband’s diet for his particular needs but their diet need more balance.
See your cardiologist 600 is not something to ignore. You have an amazing Doctor❤
High levels of LDL-C for a few weeks or months is unlikely to exact much damage. But over a long period of time, the damage is likely going to be extensive and potentially irreversible.
I thought my 311 was high but your 600+ blows mine away. I did find out that I have a genetic condition called hypercholesterolemia. I've always had high cholesterol but a coronary calcium score of zero. Because both of my brothers died at 53 of heart attacks, I started doing the coronary calcium scans over twenty years ago. Five scans with a score of zero. Advanced lipid test to follow. There is reason to get yours evaluated by a cardiologist. Happy you are going to!!
Note that people in the arctic have been eating carnivore for thousands of years. There isn't too much data about how well they are doing on such a diet though. All we know is that their cultures survived.
Note that high cholesterol is associated with the ability to reach a high age. Centennials generally have been recorded to have higher cholesterol even before they reach high age. If you feel anxiety because of what the doctors are telling you about the perceived dangers of high cholesterol, then you can eat small amounts of carbs to take away that anxiety.
The CAC test would be good to help with your anxiety. At your age and with a lean mass, you should have a CAC of zero, or close to zero. The CAC would look at calcium in your arteries. If there is calcium, then there are plaques, and those plaques would contain cholesterol as well. The theory is that if you have high LDL cholesterol, then that might increase plaque formation. If the CAC score says that you have no plaques, then obviously the high cholesterol didn't increase plaque formation.
High cholesterol is an indicator that you have been eating a high animal fat diet. Eating a high fat diet is bad, if you also eat a lot of carbs. You can do well on a low-fat high carb diet. It's the combination of fat and carbs that quickly leads to metabolic diseases. So, if you were to eat plenty of carbs and you have high cholesterol, you have reason to be worried.
INSULTING!!! I finally figured out what bothered me about your Dr. and her patronizing approach to you.
She didn't even listen to u when u brought up the study, that u had already sent her btw. I swear I could hear her rolling her eyes up in her head. She immediately asked u why u were doing carni and asked nothing about the study bc she thinks it's all bs. I couldn"t beleive it when I heard her try to school u about people and why they have youtube channels, and blogs etc. What did she say...anyone behind it is out to take your money! Does she know u guys have a channel? OMG! She may as well have just called u and your husband scam artists bc u guys have a youtube channel. As I understand, u told her about your carni choice and as she is the person u chose to take care of your health, she couldn't b bothered to even look into it. She talked to u as if u were a child. Calling the carnivore diet the latest trend is ignorant. She's just another Dr. who chooses to remain uninformed and in doing so is not helping anyone and in many cases hindering them. She's doling out the same bad advice that Dr. Barry did in his early career and is now making amends for by truly helping people. We can all see what that looks like. Is that your doctor? I really hope u find a new doctor who will listen to u and give u the care that u deserve.
Taking statins and their ilk is just like giving yourself dementia.
In fact they've done studies on people who were on statins and diagnosed with dementia in which they removed the statins and the "dementia" stopped. they regained function and memory. When they restarted the statins the "dementia" returned.
That's crap! Statins have saved lives. Do your homework. You are not a medical professional to be able to say that. Stop giving bad advice that could hurt someone.
@@dangell8984 statins do not save lives. There is nothing that has ever indicated they save lives. I suggest you do your homework. Statin destroy quality of life.
Even the FDA which is known to protect the drug companies over the general population and down play drug reactions, requires that warning labels state that statins can cause memory loss as well as mental confusion, liver problems, and type 2 diabetes
With heart disease. Many have no symptoms until it hits. Personally. Was health active no problems until it hit me fast. Just saying be careful
Dr cywes says drink a glass of milk. I had a heart attack at 41. Super low cholesterol, low blood pressure. Not overweight. And still needed three stints. Don't let the main stream get cha.
Hi Stefanie! Do you think the pork rinds...Mac Chicharrones had a bigger hand in driving your cholesterol up.
Had the same issue and with Triglycerides, Dr said to eat less meat or smaller portions like the size of or smaller than your fist and to take fish oil. It dropped.
If you start smelling down below its the fish oil i took it several years thought it was my washing powder no its the fish oil
@@sheliadrennan653Ick!!
Glady I never had that issue.@@sheliadrennan653
It is also my personal opinion that ppl on keto/carnivore esp the ones on youtube talking about it, are eating way too much food, way too much fat, way too much protein. I believe that the human body does not need that much food. Maybe initially to get some healing, lose weight etc but later on we dont need to eat so much. I think the too much food part is the mistake ppl are making.
Hope you figure it out. She shounds like an awesome doctor. I just got my results today too and mine went from 184 to 209 in 3 months. HDL went from 44 to 49 and LDL went from 120 to 139. I am wondering if I should stop Carnivore because of the high fat and daily eggs. I was just working on lowering mine and it went up. Tryglycerides went up too. 💖🥰
Why bother
??
@DiamondPaintingHaven 3 months is a very small trial sample. If you need to adjust the fat content you can do that and still be on carnivore but I would suggest asking Dr. Anthony Chaffee and a few of the other doctors before worrying to much.
Thanks
I would have another blood test taken two out of three. Labs are not always 100% accurate.
Years ago i had an unscheduled cholesterol test and I had just eaten chocolate and had the usual sad foods that day and my cholesterol was over 450. I had another test the next morning and it was as normal as could be. I'm surprised your doctor has never seen anything over 350. Plz look for a new Dr
I wonder what your lipid profile would look like if you added some fiber via avocados, sweet potatoes, Brussel Sprouts?
One word…..BERBERINE! Both my husband and daughter in law had high cholesterol and high triglycerides and they started taking 500 mg twice a day. Both of their numbers are in the normal range within a few months. It’s worth trying.
How much do they take?
Yes, there are very good studies showing this effect! It can upset the tummy..I’m trying again for the third time.
@cindyparker9920 ? The exact amounts are right in their comment. Hope that helps.
Stay steadfast. Get rechecked. Might be an error 🙌 then, make a plan
Labs are not above mistakes,
Maybe retest to see if the same result happens ?? Just a thought .
Boa tarde StevenSteph! Que tudo de certo em sua vida! Que Deus te abençoe! Fica com Deus! Que tudo de certo no seu Dia a Dia!
my total is 500 and LDL 350 but all other markers normal. Not worried about it. as long as the inflammation and other markers are okay. Cholesterol has taken the fall for what sugar did
Wow if this conversation with your Dr. doesn't change your diet you're begging for trouble. You're putting your life in the hands of UA-camrs . Nuts
She is trying to find something that fits so she can justify keeping on this food plan.
These UA-camrs are real doctors with real practices and real data and results.
@@Sctronic209 You’re full of it . If your cholesterol was 650 repeat 650 you would be at drugstore waiting to open and picking up your STATINS
@@petarbubalo231 not. That’s the problem with this world there’s a drug for everything don’t you get it.
This is almost the same convo I had with my Doctor. He called me right away and he was so concerned. I won't lie, I was concerned. My cholesterol has always been slightly high and it exploded almost double in 6 months. I don't think I can be a LMHR as I am still overweight. My BMI is 28.4. My LDL-C was 337 and my total cholesterol I believe was 410. My vldl was really low at 4. My Doctor asked what I was doing. He didn't think Carnivore was responsible. He also never saw anything like this in 30 years 😂 He asked if I started drinking alcohol. I said definitely not. He also said call the cardiologist right away, but I just saw her last month and I have yet to contact her 🤷🏻♀️. I have to redo my lipids this coming Monday. You are the first person I saw with a higher amount then me.
In the morning I eat 2 scramble eggs one flour tortilla with salsa, at lunch I eat a salad with oil dressing, 1 small pinch of cheese, dinner is one boneless skinless chicken thigh, 1/2 can of asparagus every day of the week and as a snack in the afternoon I have half an orange and I drink large amounts of unsweetened black tea. My cholesterol stays 113, no high blood pressure, but my A1C stays over 7. We have a long family history of diabetes &n heart disease in our family. Both parents and siblings all have diabetes as well as myself. But I don’t eat fatty foods or sugary foods.
So I understand that you can have family members that can pass high cholesterol through bloodlines, could this be the same for you. Something else if your a lot of red meats that could be your downfall, change to fish and chicken, or even buffalo are very lean meat. Good luck.
Hi Steve and Steph, I have been watching you for over five years, your strangers but I care about you guys. When you started this I said I didnt understand how this could be healthy and someone came back out me explaining. Have you ever seen videos on Soverign citizens. They truly believe they are right and it makes sense to them, but its not true. A lot of people feel great and drop dead. When I was 44 I was in the best shape of my life, I felt so great, At 40 I lost 100 pounds , exercise, life was great and I was diagnoised with Breast cancer, My first response was how can that be I feel the best I have ever felt and the healthiest I ever was, so dont let that cloud your judgement. If your hand was infected would you take a prescribed antibiotic , so you should take the statten till its undercontrol. Trust the doctors who have studied years and have practiced for years rather then a diet that still has so many what ifs, And Steve my brother who is my best friend has AS like you and spinalstenois and lives in terrible pain, so understand, it breaks my heart to see him suffer. Good luck and in my prayers
According to Bart Kay, a cardiovascular pathophysioligist in New Zealand, your blood lipids do not cause heart disease, so it does not matter how high your LDL is. The causes of heart disease are 1) systemic inflammation, 2) damage to the epithelial cells lining your arteries (most likely due to high blood pressure), and 3) oxidation and glycation of particles in your blood, such as lipoproteins.
I know what he said but its wrong! With this that high it could be dangerous
@@CrazyGreeneyedCraftyladyHow? Cite your evidence or don't bother writing emotional, vapid comments.
Bart Kay is spot on and should be listened to. Thanks for explaining this to others.
I just received my lipid panels. Mine is 529 😢 ldl 438 I have done carnivore for 120 days but getting nervous. My doctor said it’s the highest she has seen too. What are we going to do? I’m ready to change some things to Vegetables or some thing. Pretty bummed out that my triglycerides went up as well. I don’t know what’s going on
I wouldn't bother worrying about this at all, even with your numbers. You are eating the proper human diet, and there is no species on the Earth dying because they are eating the right food. They die due to other causes.
It's so disturbing listening to doctors who talk like this. "Things on the internet"??? you mean like the published meta study in 2016 that showed a correlation between high LDL-C and living longer? You mean that study? Or did you mean the thing online that you got sent in your e-mail that you get a kickback when you sell statins? Ask this "How familiar are you with the study that challenges the LDL-C theory from 2016?"
👏🏻❤
How long until you see the Cardiologist? These things can creep up on you. I hope all turns out ok!
Oh hope be ok Steph.
It would be interesting if you got retested again at private lab, fasted 12 hours, no coffee etc…to see if similar results. You would then be able to eliminate that as a possible cause for high LDL…. Looking forward to see what cardiologist has to say (as I am sure you are too)!!
My New results: Total Chol 411, LDL 325, HDL 80, trig 64 on mostly strict carnivore/keto 6 months (to lower A1c), but my A1c went from 5.8 to 6.0. CAC score 175. I’m very lean, I thought I was in the best shape of my life (almost Tony Horton level). I got my chol this high in 6 months, so my guess is I can get it down (I had the best tasting sweet potato yesterday). I will add some carbs back in and recheck. Dr gave me advice concerning the cac score, (I have not showed the Dr my labs yet 😮) . Still processing…
I had to laugh, human experiment. Does she mean like vaccine experiment on the world.😂
😂
💯
I’m sure she administered some of those jabs!
Exactly!
That was my exact thought when she started talking about risk/benefit analysis! That was definitely not done for the jab! I’m so done with doctors, the medical profession and prescription drugs.
Dr. Atkins from the 70s was a carnivore diet. I lost weight, had energy, and was not hungry BUT I didn't have a period for four months and the minute I tasted sugar carvings back and gained so much weight. Good luck.
Atkins isn't Carnivore. It's mainly low carb veggies then meat, seafood and dairy in moderation. Lower carb fruits like berries, full fat cottage cheese, and nuts/seeds are introduced in later phases.
Steph I'm sorry about the chlesterol news. Maybe if you stay with carnivore but cut way down on your butter intake. Maybe allow Steve to do his diet the way he needs but you need to do what's best for you. Steve wouldn't want you to harm yourself for him.
Hi Tina….yes good idea..she’s eating to much butter /fats
