@Yoy Piur copper deficiency and retinol. Listen to podcast interviews of Morley Robbins. A good one is “Your the cure” podcast on December 5. Audio is not the best but this will be well worth your time to listen.
@Yoy Piur my iron and hemoglobin was low on every test, then I went on an almost zero carb diet and a very quickly came up into the normal range. There's a video on here about this from Dr Berg within the last few months that shows that glucose in the blood blocks iron from getting into the cells. So even though I was taking iron supplements twice a day, it was helping some but still not in the normal range. I was amazed how quickly it worked when I got rid of almost all carbs. The only carbs I eat now it's from the very little whole milk I will have with some half and half cream and eggs and I'm trying to cut that milk out as well to try and get down to a true zero carb
My grandmother had high cholesterol. When she was 82, the doctors wanted to give her a triple bypass. She laughed at them. When she was 97, my mother, a nurse, asked my grandmother’s cardiologist about her heart and cardiovascular health. He responded that he wished his was as good as hers. My grandmother lived to be 100 years old with high cholesterol.
I have been following these videos for a few months now. I dropped 20 pounds through your approach intermittent fasting . Never any fear mongering just more education. Thank you Dr Ekberg another excellent teaching
was on blood pressure med and cholesterol med for 10 years while consuming all the wrong things not having a clue to what I was doing to myself. So 3 years ago started the journey going off both medications slowly and with cardio and whole foods it's a mixture of emotions initially because of all the lies we've been feed and the suffering people go through . It's discipline you apply that comes easy with time you just have to give yourself permission for change and stick to it. Say no to sugar and understand carbs .
That was a really fascinating explanation and seems like most people of my generation (late 60s) have been given a largely incorrect view of a healthy lifestyle. So many people were told to eat diets of low fat but nothing mentioned negatively about carbohydrates ... and yet here we are with so much obesity which is killing people well before their time! A revelatory video Dr Ekberg!
So true! In all the videos at Woodstock, there were NO fat people! Then we were told that Fruit Loops cereal were part of a nutritious breakfast and BAM fat people everywhere! the government has been lying to us for MONEY!!! The sugar foundation and big lobbyists lining their pockets right up there with all of congress!
I’m late 60’s too and it was never, EVER “ open season” on all carbs in our household . We grew up knowing the distinct difference between junk food highly processed carbs , sugar and rubbish foods . My mom , much to her belated chagrin, fell for the low fat propaganda & bought into the grains and complex carbs push ( wholemeal, multi grain etc etc ) but we were never allowed refined carbs and unadulterated sugars at home . It seems we r always quick to blame gov’ts and big business marketing for our own gullibility & poor decision making but at the end of the day commonsense still plays, & always did play , an imp role in what went into the pantry . Fortunately the low fat craze started a decade after we were born so we were given a good head start on our bones, teeth and general foundational health. As much as we sometimes envied the kids who were allowed pastries, cookies, sweets ,cola etc I’m one of millions who still had the advantage of intelligent, commonsense parents.
They don't fail too. It's about money. Doctors are not in business to make you well. You notice they always say we've got a prescription for that. They make a lot of money off of prescribing drugs. Do you own due diligence by being proactive and listening to good info.
Your title definitely had me worried. I wish I could share this with every doctor in the world. I love my high cholesterol with large LDL particles. Yes, I found a good doctor, finally.
The problem is, the medical docs especially cardiologists, might be getting an incentive for prescribing non-sense that can really hurt you. My current cardiologist doesn't even know what vitamin K2 is.
Doctors like Dr Ekberg deserve awards as true life savers .. he provides the facts and gives you the platform to make a real life changing decision.. truly amazing
Just signed up for the course and my husband and I paid for two of your full blood works. Spoke to Cookie on the phone and she made my husband and I feel very comfortable with our questions about the course and bloodwork. I told her that Dr Ekberg saved us from ourselves and our bad way of living. We saw his videos on UA-cam sometime early 2021 and started Keto from his videos. My husband went from 245 to 180 and I went from 320 to 235, with 50 pds or more to go. We are so grateful and thankful to have found Dr Eckberg and feel like we found a home with a doctor that truly cares about the health and well being of people.
High cholesterol is a sign of good health, and most people who live beyond their 80s have high cholesterol. The ratio should be one on one, but we know we don’t live in a perfect world. When the ratio is dramatically out of balance is when behavior needs to be adjusted, if not previously. Basically, we want a balance as close to one on one as possible. 2% of your body weight is cholesterol, 25% of your brain weight is cholesterol. Your body uses cholesterol everywhere to repair everything. Your body produces cholesterol… It produces more when you are not in taking much and it produces less when you consume more cholesterol. No reason to ever interfere with your cholesterol.
As a allied health retired instructor this delivery of information gave me inspiration. The explanation of the details of this condition were clear and you addressed the misinformation so many people are frightened by. Now I know what I have forgotten relating to the main makers thank you for educating viewers.🎉
THANK YOU, Dr. Ekberg! Do you realize you probably have more followers (more people that Truly care and have been moved by this life-saving information that you teach) than the Entire population of many countries? Your followers now number somewhere around the total population of Botswana! What an incredible idea that you can reach the audience of an entire country's population through this medium! UA-cam has a lot of problems, but this is the best possible use of it! Please, please, never stop doing what you do!
I was thought there is no loyal doctor's in this world but now l can say that l have found my doctor l have learnt a lot about health after l flow your advice l make some change thanks for that
I work as a speech language pathologist. I have had many patients who have told me that they had a stroke even though they took their medications without fail. I have had to keep my comments to myself to stay in my lane and not get fired.
@@chavbudgie4299 All the more reason why patients need to do their own research and seek info to help their own health. Doctors are about chemicals/medication. They work for the pharmaceutical company.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, as usual, a very helpful video, thank you! I started to watch your videos around the third quarter of 2018 after my bloodwork showed I was prediabetic. I believe I got to be prediabetic after being on cholesterol medication for about 2.5 years after my dr. put me on because my cholesterol was 228. So in late 2018 after watching your videos I stopped taking the cholesterol medication, started a low carb diet and my A1C went back to normal within five months later. As of Oct. 2022, the last time I had bloodwork my A1C was normal, my cholesterol was 257, and my total calcium score was 1, which I asked my dr. to prescribe since he has been pushing me to go back to taking cholesterol medication. By the way, I'm 58 been active all my life. Again, thank you!
Amazing✨ Now you have added this visual as you are educating people! So much respect for all you are doing to REeducate generations that have been so poorly advised in the way of nutrition, health and cholesterol. I finally have my family Dr. on board with readjusting her thought process on nutrition and recognizing that there are newer lab tests to more correctly diagnose your “high cholesterol”! To those who are newly tuning in, make sure to watch his other videos on these specific topics. This will change your overall quality of life in such a big way. I eat mostly meat (of all kinds), and low oxylate veggies…rum and wine!😁. Never felt better! I am 58, 5’3 1/2”, 133 lbs! Added bonus of going from size 12 to a loose 8! Gotta be able to have as much fun as possible with those wonderful grandchildren🥰
Key takeaways: @17:14 - You can have high cholesterol with or without plaque. @18:25 - Cholesterol plaques are typically accompanied with: small LDL size, high Insulin, high Glucose, and high Triglycerides. @19:55 - To determine your risk, don't use a Standard Blood Tests measuring standard markers (total LDL & HDL Cholesterol). Request the medical lab to also test for Metabolic Health markers as well (Insulin Resistance, LDL Size, and Homocysteine).
This is so great and true what he says about osteoarthritis pain! Two years ago I was almost 300lbs and terribly metabolically unhealthy. I started eating LCHF keto and learned how to fast. I'm 59 and I've lost over 155lbs (!) I'm off my blood pressure meds and my osteoarthritis pain is hardly noticeable now. I'm in the best health I've ever been! I'm so thankful for these doctors who are willing to share their knowledge with us! I was asked to share my story on The Magic of Fasting UA-cam channel. So fun 😊🙏
@ Jessica Johnson:: What is LCHF KETO? Please give tips on your diet and foods you ate. I will be 59 in a week. My doctor told me my cholesterol was a little high but the good cholesterol outweighs the bad and it wasn't high enough for meds and I'm most definitely trying to avoid medication of any kind.
@@lindabuford1310 Hi Linda. Low carb high fat keto. I eat heart healthy nuts, eggs, meats, steamed veggies with butter, salad greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, I use heavy cream in my coffee, sour kraut, homemade kimchi, full fat cheeses, home made bone broth soups and A2 milk yogurt etc. Hope that helps! Good luck to you and be well 😊🙏
yes, Yes and YES! Love this style / type of video that sorts out fictions from long held "scientific fact" and clarifies truths to make them understandable to the reasonably educated, but non-professional lay person. So grateful to Dr. Ekberg who is a master author/editor/producer of these videos and keeps them coming.
I do not have pain or tingling. The only thing that I notice is that sometimes I develop some small bumps under my skin. My LDL cholesterol is always being high, but my HDL and triglycerides are always very normal. My dr. diagnosed me with hypercholesterolemia and tried hard to get me on statins. I refused and requested a CAC, she was very adamant for a while. Finally, she wrote the order, and my score was 0 and very normal heart physiology. Mindful that I am 67 and I was pre-diabetic and no other problem. Even my BG was in the low 90s, but my A1C was another story. Thanks for educating us, so that we can learn to advocate for ourselves.
@@7x779 A1C 6.1, LDL 180, HDL 90, triglycerides 57; I do not worry about total cholesterol. Besides, trigly are not cholesterol they become the vldl small particle, hence the need to keep it below 150. My latest A1C is 5.2. Keeping my A1C normal is my main concern. I do not lose sleep over my cholesterol; especially after my CAC result. Take care!
Been over 500 on total cholesterol for over a year now. Never been lighter, leaner or more energetic. The headaches are gone. Last blood test my Triglyceride:HDL ratio was 1.2 :to 1. I am pretty upset about Statins in general and how they are being used to reduce the quality and length of life in this country.
I wish I could send you to my hard-headed, "I jump at what the doctor said when he gives me more medications"- parents, Dr. Ekberg! Few people explain such complicated conditions so plainly. You are amazing!
@@joerenner8334 you assume that all doctors have updated their knowledge. Listen to your doc but always take it with a grain of salt. Over medication kills. Natural ways don't...
Another informative video. I had a thymoma removed from my thymus glad, it was a fatty tumor. The oncologist and surgeon and even research has given no real indication why such a tumor might form. Your video helped add to my questions but did shed light as well. Thank you
I didn't need to lose weight but I tried a keto diet and my weight went down including muscle mass and my cholesterol went right up high. I knew it wasn't a problem as my blood pressure and Triglyceride readings were fine but just to satisfy the doctor I added fibrous carbs back into the diet. My weight went up and my cholesterol came down to a normal level.
Only the oxidized LDL can be a problem, but only glycated LDL becomes oxidized to a significant degree. And your LDL only gets glycated from excessive blood sugar from a bad diet. The best thing you can do for that, of course, is to do a little bit of extended fasting!
Heartiest congratualtiona to the winners. But honestly Doc Ekberg, everyone who believes in what you have to say and follows it, is already a winner. They are truly Health Champions.
I'm excited to start your blood work course. You have been such an inspiration to both me and my wife. As one of the winners of the drawing, I look forward to meeting you personally. My granddaughters are visiting this week and I told them this morning that I won the drawing. I told them it's like winning a trip to Disney World! I know that two of the people I referred you to are watching your videos now. So, whoever came up with that idea, give them a raise :-).
Thank You Sal Lazuka. Congratulations Sal. I was very excited to see that you were one of the winners, since you are a member as well as a regular contributor on the channel. You were even the first one to order the course. Can't wait to meet you. And I had nothing to do with the drawing. The program that manages the giveaway does all that. Are you planning a trip to Georgia or are we doing it by Zoom? 😀
I admire you Dr. Ekberg for being able to explain in detail every topic. Thank you so much for sharing. It has helped me a lot in treating myself. I have shared your presentation to a lot of my family members & relatives & friends. You are unique!
You just explained the corona on the top of my irises with no other issues. Familial high cholesterol, no diabetes, or other symptoms. Apparently my good cholesterol is the at the same high as the 'bad' cholesterol. The times my sight gets blurry is long hours on line, fatigue, and dehydration. Thank You!!!!
Thank You angelfriend. I'm thrilled to hear that it was helpful, but horrified that this is the first time. That only confirms how rare the truth is. 😀
@@tracyroweauthor yes I do know that, but not in my case. I’m not deficient as I take a lot for my MTHFR mutation. My nerve damage is from something else… I have autoimmune disease. 🤷🏼♀️
I had a haemorragic stroke in 2019 from undiagnosed chronic hypertension, which my doctor classified as malignant hypertension due to an aldosterone glitch. Looking back, the sys/dia numbers were insane. The only symptom was constant headaches and two nose bleeds. Don't ignore warning signs, health champions. I'm on BP meds now.
@@carolynrogers373 No, but if my BP was 240+ on the night of the stroke, it's closely related. Later they said with my BP normal, risk of another stroke was in the normal range for my age.
I was having the chronic headaches and when I got my physical my cholesterol was high. I am upping my fiber and changing my diet. I workout daily so I should be able to get it under control. The headaches were there on a daily basis and I figured since my cholesterol was high it had to be because of it since everything else was fine during my physical. You confirmed it for me. Thanks so much.
There is no doubt in my mind had I not found Dr. Ekberg's channel and learned about the ketogenic diet and fasting I would not be here. I am 72 and had a fatty liver, insulin resistance and the list goes on and all they wanted to do is give me more and more drugs which were making me sick and compromising my liver even more. I am only on thyroid now and hoping sometime I may even get off it.
@@andriabrown6921 Thus is what I did. I drank warm water with about 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar. I went on the ketogenic diet with only 17 carbs a day. I added milk thistle especially for my liver and began walking. I worked myself from skipping breakfast to eating only between 3 and 6 then to a 48 hour fast. My symptoms were smelly arm pits, swollen abdomen. I would retain water especially in my abdomen and legs. Sleep was poor; pain increased; never felt full; fatigue; and more. May I suggest this way of eating even if you have not been diagnosed. Your health will improve.
Helt enastående Sten, som vanligt! Jag hoppas innerligt du släpper en bok, som sammanfattar all din kunskap om Kostens magi som hjälper oss men som under många år legat i skuggan för allt socker. Hej dig!🙏 / Västkusten
Love these videos! My family and I have learned so much. We also have a very knowledgeable Dr in holistic care. Every bit of information helps. Have shared so much of this information with family
Hi doctor. About 2 weeks ago I did blood tests. My cholesterol was 251. Hdl and ldl were very good so I figured I had nothing to worry about. My doctor was of a different opinion. I told him that he was wrong and there is nothing wrong with having such cholesterol. He was very upset and argued with me because he thought he knew better. He's an old man who should be retired by now :) He recommended me cholesterol lowering pills but I refused, laughing at the same :P Speaking of this sugar-free challenge. My weight dropped from 163kg to 129kg.
No one is too old to learn! Suggestion would be to tell your doctor where you learned your new life style and how it is helping you; give him Dr. Ekburg materials as a reference, that way he would be able to help you better. I took a similar approach with my physicians several years ago, after learning and from Dr. Ekberg materials and others in addition to my researches. And now I am healthier than few years back without any medication, by educating myself first and then my physicians who were trying to help me to live. It works, you should try it.
@@aparnaroy8814 I know. This is only the beginning of my journey to healthy life. I started changing my life at the beginning of September. I think i've made huge progress from September to December.
I am just so relieved that I discovered the benefits of LCHF eating "in time". I am now 67, and continue enjoying a pain-free, mobile life. From my bloods works I know I am insulin sensitive. Dr Ekberg and his videos have played a large role in providing me with the dietary and other information in order to achieve this status.
Thankyou Dr Sten Ekberg! My doctor said my cholesterol is getting high, because I am eating too much eggs so she wants to put me on meds for it. I was so scared and stopped eating eggs. I think I have metabolic syndrome though. I am doing intermitten fasting eating one or 2 meals per day. My weight is 159 pounds. I am not losing weight fast because I cannot excercise now for about 5 months due to a sciatic nerve flare up, after I ran a 5k marathon. I give up can't win. I also have digestive issues because of no gallbladder, I feel like my body is very gassy as well because my food is not digesting properly! Thanks again for your videos.
I had some stress as i did not lose any weight in the after going carnivore...After listening to the different carnivores and doctors i realized that healing my prediabetic must first happen before weightloss can happen.. So almost 3 months into carnivore, eating pure red meat..eggs..butter. bacon sometimes raw kefir i am losing bellyfat!! Which i have not been able to get rid off even in the years i was eating "keto" ( large amounts of veggies that now i know where to high carb)..or vegan..or wfpb no fats no salt and no sugar....I am almost 59 and finally the bellyfat that i had accumalated since menopause is melting almost before my eyes:-).. So focus on healing first ..which happens for each of us in a different pase for each .. but it will happen just trust and give your self for christmas the gift of time and patience ...it will be the most beautiful gift ..just watch an see
High cholesterol is irrelevant, inflammation is the problem. If you eat fats you’ll have cholesterol in your blood. The inflammation caused by toxic seed oil is what kills you.
Stats show high cholesterol equates to longevity 👍 It's wrongly been demonised for way too long causing poor health 😬 Sugar and carbs are the bad guys!
@@JackieKay11 The anti-cholesterol hysteria comes from one of the greatest quacks of the 20th century, Dr. Keys (and he was not a medical doctor, he got his PhD in Oceanography).
Just to get another take on this subject is so valuable. Being a 71 fitness and food junkie so much that I am reading about is MTor. I have done low carb for years, great protein, lots of plants and have added a small bit of starch to the mix..now to keep cells from turning over quick the gurus are saying no to protein. I would love to know your take on that! Thank you so much for getting this information out to all of us!
i have familial Hypercholesterolaemia so i have very high cholesterol I'm only 24. i am on statins and am trying to change my diet, exercise more, drink less, etc. but I'm terrified of having a heart attack or stroke. i havent got any symptoms of high cholesterol but it does scare me a lot.
My CAC went from 122 to 264 in the last two years. I had undiagnosed and uncontrolled diabetes for at least four years until it was discovered three years ago. I then went quite strict keto and OMAD. My Blood Pressure is normal, Triglycerides and HDL decent, I haven't smoked or drank in a few years, and my C-Peptide is currently 1.28. My A1C is currently 5.5. I take Vit D, magnesium, K-2, tocotrinals, cod liver oil, and berberine in low doses. I'm thin, in the best shape in my life, and now at 120 push-ups a day. Yet my CAC has more than doubled in two years and is up 142 points. What gives? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm an expat so I can't find a keto doctor to see in person, so any help with online keto doctors would be much appreciated as well.
That’s very odd for sure. I wonder why although I have heard some people say that the damage takes a while to slow down lose the momentum and cease after living previous lifestyle as you described
Last time I went to a dr for a general physical (in the second decade of this century) they were still doing the cholesterol test that doesn’t separate the HDL from the LDL. They say they have a ratio to estimate the distribution, but not all bodies are equal. That, to me makes as much sense as one blood pressure and using a ratio to determine the diastolic/systolic numbers
Thank you Dr Ekberg and Team!! I’m so happy to have such intelligent people in my everyday life! Lets like and share this information with everyone we know and love! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
I have 60-70% plaques, and neuropathy and high cholesterol, and for the life of me cannot figure out the correct diet and other lifestyle changes to stop the plaque build up. I find so much contradicting information. Help Dr. Ekberg. What do I eat?
Another excellent video!! Thank you! Everytime i watch any of your videos, always put a thumb up before i watch it, because i know it will be a great one!
This is a brilliant explanation. Something that has not been explained clearly before. Between the lines he is saying statins are not effective for metabolic diseases. It is more about fixing your insulin resistance. 😀
I signed up to your blood work course right at the very start. I need to revisit for a recap. My one frustration is that if it was a course, broken down into even more shorter sections with mini tests along the way, it would be easier to retain the information. I feel it's more of a university lecture vs a course. The content is incredibly informative, so with a few small changes, this could be amazing & potentially become one of the best health courses out there! PS: please give me access to the new version when you've finished.😉 PPS: happy to join a BETA test when it's in a course + test format 😁
Thank you doctor Ekberg. I love watching your videos and share them with my family to help improve their health. Can you please do video regarding pregnant women and diet. Timing of meals and types of food. Please thank you again.
Honesty thank you! I have a small start of a ring my good HDL was too high the triglyceride were good and the LDL was good. Total count 203 highest it ever been. I was insullin resistence... not anymore. My ring is not a full ring the beginning stage. It never completed thank God.
Dr Ekberg please address how to reduce Remnant-C cholesterol to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack). I've read studies that state high Remnant-C cholesterol creates a high risk for heart attacks. "Remnant cholesterol, also known as remnant lipoprotein, is a very atherogenic lipoprotein composed primarily of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL).[1] Stated another way, remnant cholesterol is all plasma cholesterol that is not LDL cholesterol or HDL cholesterol,[1] which are triglyceride-poor lipoproteins.[2] However, remnant cholesterol is primarily chylomicron and VLDL, and each remnant particle contains about 40 times more cholesterol than LDL.[3] According to one study, high remnant cholesterol is more predictive of myocardial infarction than any other lipid particle.[4] Remnant cholesterol is especially predictive of coronary artery disease in patients with normal total cholesterol.[5][6] High plasma remnant cholesterol is associated with increased plasma triglyceride levels.[7] Hypertriglyceridemia is characteristic of high plasma remnant cholesterol, but persons with high plasma triglycerides without high remnant cholesterol rarely have coronary artery disease.[8] Remnant cholesterol has about twice the association with ischemic heart disease as LDL cholesterol.[9] Although remnant cholesterol tends to be higher in people who are overweight (high body mass index), normal-weight persons with high remnant cholesterol tend to have a higher risk of myocardial infarction.[10] Remnant cholesterol is associated with chronic inflammation, whereas LDL cholesterol is not.[11][2]"
Dr Ekberg you are so clear and i enjoy all your videos which are so well explained. Wish you were in Canada😉Please continue sharing your expertness and thank you. Have a great festive season and Merry Christ mas🎄⛄
For my bad cholesterol I use drink tea ang garlic water with lemon. And use the Ems massager for my feet.. it helps me and drink almond hi calcium milk with turmiric powder it helps me a lot hope my blood test next month will get better. My tingling sensation a little bit now. So terrible I experienced before I cannot sleep I exercise more often.
My LDL is was 447 and my HDL is 325, My doctor told me to eat a lot of vegetables. Meat and fish not more than three times per week. I should not eat much sweets and not to much carbohydrates. My LDL is now 324 and HDL is 215. My problem is, when I eat less carbohydrates I get hungry quickly even though I eat mainly whole wheat. Without the carbohydrate in my meals I get mager very quick and underweight. You suggest in other videos to eat meat and vegetables. If I eat meat and vegetables I loose weight rapidly. So what about people like me who shouldn't lose no more weight because of the danger of getting anorexia?
I had a heart attack having taken Naproxin, for what started as back ache but had moved to ankle by the time i took the tablets. Main problem was stress, trying to work for months with back ache climbing in and out of a small cockpit. I felt like a pressure cooker waiting to blow. I believe the tablets was the match that lit the fire.
I can confirm about the crawling/tingling sensation on the feet, it only happens when I go to bed and it drives me insane, I feel like I have bugs crawling up my feet, after 2 mattresses and countless sheets I took a blood test and my cholesterol level is high due to poor diet, being forced to work in office has made me neglect good eating habits changing them for the fast and quick snack/meal and has caused my cholesterol level to spike
My cholesterol is 400+ LDL 380. I really don't care. I'm on keto. My body fat is 8%. Dave Feldman call people like me LMHR. My doctor try it to force me into statins. I said , after my death I'll take it. 😀
Total 350 LDL 60 triglyceride 50.....Tried 4 different statins in a period of 2 years. I destroyed my body composition. Look like a fat ballon. Trying now to recover and its working well after the first 3 months drug free.

Listen to podcast interviews of Morley Robbins. A good one is “Your the cure” podcast on December 5. Audio is not the best but this will be well worth your time to listen.
@Yoy Piur my iron and hemoglobin was low on every test, then I went on an almost zero carb diet and a very quickly came up into the normal range. There's a video on here about this from Dr Berg within the last few months that shows that glucose in the blood blocks iron from getting into the cells. So even though I was taking iron supplements twice a day, it was helping some but still not in the normal range. I was amazed how quickly it worked when I got rid of almost all carbs. The only carbs I eat now it's from the very little whole milk I will have with some half and half cream and eggs and I'm trying to cut that milk out as well to try and get down to a true zero carb

My grandmother had high cholesterol. When she was 82, the doctors wanted to give her a triple bypass. She laughed at them. When she was 97, my mother, a nurse, asked my grandmother’s cardiologist about her heart and cardiovascular health. He responded that he wished his was as good as hers. My grandmother lived to be 100 years old with high cholesterol.
They would have killed her. She's smart to refuse

That was a really fascinating explanation and seems like most people of my generation (late 60s) have been given a largely incorrect view of a healthy lifestyle. So many people were told to eat diets of low fat but nothing mentioned negatively about carbohydrates ... and yet here we are with so much obesity which is killing people well before their time! A revelatory video Dr Ekberg!
So true! In all the videos at Woodstock, there were NO fat people! Then we were told that Fruit Loops cereal were part of a nutritious breakfast and BAM fat people everywhere! the government has been lying to us for MONEY!!! The sugar foundation and big lobbyists lining their pockets right up there with all of congress!
I’m late 60’s too and it was never, EVER “ open season” on all carbs in our household . We grew up knowing the distinct difference between junk food highly processed carbs , sugar and rubbish foods . My mom , much to her belated chagrin, fell for the low fat propaganda & bought into the grains and complex carbs push ( wholemeal, multi grain etc etc ) but we were never allowed refined carbs and unadulterated sugars at home . It seems we r always quick to blame gov’ts and big business marketing for our own gullibility & poor decision making but at the end of the day commonsense still plays, & always did play , an imp role in what went into the pantry . Fortunately the low fat craze started a decade after we were born so we were given a good head start on our bones, teeth and general foundational health. As much as we sometimes envied the kids who were allowed pastries, cookies, sweets ,cola etc I’m one of millions who still had the advantage of intelligent, commonsense parents.

That's what's killing us
@@lindagolembieski7405 in the US yes, but I'm speaking about the UK former advice of the time.
Most family doctors truly fail to explain these simple facts and direct patients to health.
They don't fail too. It's about money. Doctors are not in business to make you well. You notice they always say we've got a prescription for that. They make a lot of money off of prescribing drugs. Do you own due diligence by being proactive and listening to good info.
Your title definitely had me worried. I wish I could share this with every doctor in the world. I love my high cholesterol with large LDL particles. Yes, I found a good doctor, finally.
I was worried too, wish I can find a good doctor as well
The problem is, the medical docs especially cardiologists, might be getting an incentive for prescribing non-sense that can really hurt you. My current cardiologist doesn't even know what vitamin K2 is.

Thanks Dr Ekberg. Between you and Dr Berg, I’ve been able to solve so many health issues no MD has ever been able to help with.
I am in the same club as you. Dr. Berg and Dr. Ekberg are truly a gift to mankind.
Same here.
Both doctors are fantastic.
Doctors like Dr Ekberg deserve awards as true life savers .. he provides the facts and gives you the platform to make a real life changing decision.. truly amazing
love them both❤
Every MD should be required to watch this video. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Just signed up for the course and my husband and I paid for two of your full blood works. Spoke to Cookie on the phone and she made my husband and I feel very comfortable with our questions about the course and bloodwork. I told her that Dr Ekberg saved us from ourselves and our bad way of living. We saw his videos on UA-cam sometime early 2021 and started Keto from his videos. My husband went from 245 to 180 and I went from 320 to 235, with 50 pds or more to go. We are so grateful and thankful to have found Dr Eckberg and feel like we found a home with a doctor that truly cares about the health and well being of people.
Thank You Janine W. I'm thrilled to hear all of that and look forward to having you on the course. 😀
@@drekbergwhere can I find your course?
I felt comfortable with your explanation for my life.
High cholesterol is a sign of good health, and most people who live beyond their 80s have high cholesterol. The ratio should be one on one, but we know we don’t live in a perfect world. When the ratio is dramatically out of balance is when behavior needs to be adjusted, if not previously. Basically, we want a balance as close to one on one as possible.
2% of your body weight is cholesterol, 25% of your brain weight is cholesterol. Your body uses cholesterol everywhere to repair everything.
Your body produces cholesterol… It produces more when you are not in taking much and it produces less when you consume more cholesterol. No reason to ever interfere with your cholesterol.
As a allied health retired instructor this delivery of information gave me inspiration. The explanation of the details of this condition were clear and you addressed the misinformation so many people are frightened by. Now I know what I have forgotten relating to the main makers thank you for educating viewers.🎉
THANK YOU, Dr. Ekberg! Do you realize you probably have more followers (more people that Truly care and have been moved by this life-saving information that you teach) than the Entire population of many countries? Your followers now number somewhere around the total population of Botswana! What an incredible idea that you can reach the audience of an entire country's population through this medium! UA-cam has a lot of problems, but this is the best possible use of it! Please, please, never stop doing what you do!
I was thought there is no loyal doctor's in this world but now l can say that l have found my doctor l have learnt a lot about health after l flow your advice l make some change thanks for that
I work as a speech language pathologist. I have had many patients who have told me that they had a stroke even though they took their medications without fail. I have had to keep my comments to myself to stay in my lane and not get fired.

@@chavbudgie4299 All the more reason why patients need to do their own research and seek info to help their own health. Doctors are about chemicals/medication. They work for the pharmaceutical company.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, as usual, a very helpful video, thank you! I started to watch your videos around the third quarter of 2018 after my bloodwork showed I was prediabetic. I believe I got to be prediabetic after being on cholesterol medication for about 2.5 years after my dr. put me on because my cholesterol was 228. So in late 2018 after watching your videos I stopped taking the cholesterol medication, started a low carb diet and my A1C went back to normal within five months later. As of Oct. 2022, the last time I had bloodwork my A1C was normal, my cholesterol was 257, and my total calcium score was 1, which I asked my dr. to prescribe since he has been pushing me to go back to taking cholesterol medication. By the way, I'm 58 been active all my life. Again, thank you!
Amazing✨ Now you have added this visual as you are educating people! So much respect for all you are doing to REeducate generations that have been so poorly advised in the way of nutrition, health and cholesterol. I finally have my family Dr. on board with readjusting her thought process on nutrition and recognizing that there are newer lab tests to more correctly diagnose your “high cholesterol”! To those who are newly tuning in, make sure to watch his other videos on these specific topics. This will change your overall quality of life in such a big way. I eat mostly meat (of all kinds), and low oxylate veggies…rum and wine!😁. Never felt better! I am 58, 5’3 1/2”, 133 lbs! Added bonus of going from size 12 to a loose 8! Gotta be able to have as much fun as possible with those wonderful grandchildren🥰
I have high good cholesterol. It’s not bad my doc said it protects me. I also don’t eat sugar or sweets. Those are bad for us.
Thank you Dr. Sten for being unafraid to go against big pharma in favor of the truth.
Key takeaways:
@17:14 - You can have high cholesterol with or without plaque.
@18:25 - Cholesterol plaques are typically accompanied with: small LDL size, high Insulin, high Glucose, and high Triglycerides.
@19:55 - To determine your risk, don't use a Standard Blood Tests measuring standard markers (total LDL & HDL Cholesterol). Request the medical lab to also test for Metabolic Health markers as well (Insulin Resistance, LDL Size, and Homocysteine).
This is so great and true what he says about osteoarthritis pain! Two years ago I was almost 300lbs and terribly metabolically unhealthy. I started eating LCHF keto and learned how to fast. I'm 59 and I've lost over 155lbs (!) I'm off my blood pressure meds and my osteoarthritis pain is hardly noticeable now. I'm in the best health I've ever been! I'm so thankful for these doctors who are willing to share their knowledge with us! I was asked to share my story on The Magic of Fasting UA-cam channel. So fun 😊🙏
@ Jessica Johnson::
What is LCHF KETO? Please give tips on your diet and foods you ate. I will be 59 in a week. My doctor told me my cholesterol was a little high but the good cholesterol outweighs the bad and it wasn't high enough for meds and I'm most definitely trying to avoid medication of any kind.
@@lindabuford1310 Hi Linda. Low carb high fat keto. I eat heart healthy nuts, eggs, meats, steamed veggies with butter, salad greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, I use heavy cream in my coffee, sour kraut, homemade kimchi, full fat cheeses, home made bone broth soups and A2 milk yogurt etc. Hope that helps! Good luck to you and be well 😊🙏
@ Jessica Johnson.... Thank you 👊🏿
Thank you Dr.Eckeberg. So happy we found you here. You explain everything so clearly. We are on the Keto program and feel fantastic! No more meds!!!!
yes, Yes and YES! Love this style / type of video that sorts out fictions from long held "scientific fact" and clarifies truths to make them understandable to the reasonably educated, but non-professional lay person. So grateful to Dr. Ekberg who is a master author/editor/producer of these videos and keeps them coming.
Every time I watch your videos I feel like a winner. Thanks
I do not have pain or tingling. The only thing that I notice is that sometimes I develop some small bumps under my skin. My LDL cholesterol is always being high, but my HDL and triglycerides are always very normal. My dr. diagnosed me with hypercholesterolemia and tried hard to get me on statins. I refused and requested a CAC, she was very adamant for a while. Finally, she wrote the order, and my score was 0 and very normal heart physiology. Mindful that I am 67 and I was pre-diabetic and no other problem. Even my BG was in the low 90s, but my A1C was another story. Thanks for educating us, so that we can learn to advocate for ourselves.
So what was your A1C and your total cholesterol? That would help a lot of us to compare
@@7x779 A1C 6.1, LDL 180, HDL 90, triglycerides 57; I do not worry about total cholesterol. Besides, trigly are not cholesterol they become the vldl small particle, hence the need to keep it below 150. My latest A1C is 5.2. Keeping my A1C normal is my main concern. I do not lose sleep over my cholesterol; especially after my CAC result. Take care!
Been over 500 on total cholesterol for over a year now. Never been lighter, leaner or more energetic. The headaches are gone. Last blood test my Triglyceride:HDL ratio was 1.2 :to 1. I am pretty upset about Statins in general and how they are being used to reduce the quality and length of life in this country.

Another informative video. I had a thymoma removed from my thymus glad, it was a fatty tumor. The oncologist and surgeon and even research has given no real indication why such a tumor might form. Your video helped add to my questions but did shed light as well. Thank you
I didn't need to lose weight but I tried a keto diet and my weight went down including muscle mass and my cholesterol went right up high. I knew it wasn't a problem as my blood pressure and Triglyceride readings were fine but just to satisfy the doctor I added fibrous carbs back into the diet. My weight went up and my cholesterol came down to a normal level.
Only the oxidized LDL can be a problem, but only glycated LDL becomes oxidized to a significant degree. And your LDL only gets glycated from excessive blood sugar from a bad diet. The best thing you can do for that, of course, is to do a little bit of extended fasting!
Heartiest congratualtiona to the winners. But honestly Doc Ekberg, everyone who believes in what you have to say and follows it, is already a winner. They are truly Health Champions.

Best Doc on the interwebs
Well said doctor thank you so much I'm one of those with high cholesterol and they said it's in my blood
I had a haemorragic stroke in 2019 from undiagnosed chronic hypertension, which my doctor classified as malignant hypertension due to an aldosterone glitch. Looking back, the sys/dia numbers were insane. The only symptom was constant headaches and two nose bleeds. Don't ignore warning signs, health champions. I'm on BP meds now.
And they told you the high bp caused the hemorragic stroke? Certainly not a symptom? Hmmm... Good luck with that.
@@carolynrogers373 Yes. It was probably 200/120 for months. The night of the stroke it was measured in emergency as 247/150.
My blood pressure is so low but have taken grape seed extract lots of fish oil, copper, magnesium, enzymes. Maybe we'll help you
@@carolynrogers373 No, but if my BP was 240+ on the night of the stroke, it's closely related. Later they said with my BP normal, risk of another stroke was in the normal range for my age.
Did the stroke leave you with any limb impairment? Same thing happened to me November 16, 22
I was having the chronic headaches and when I got my physical my cholesterol was high. I am upping my fiber and changing my diet. I workout daily so I should be able to get it under control. The headaches were there on a daily basis and I figured since my cholesterol was high it had to be because of it since everything else was fine during my physical. You confirmed it for me. Thanks so much.
There is no doubt in my mind had I not found Dr. Ekberg's channel and learned about the ketogenic diet and fasting I would not be here. I am 72 and had a fatty liver, insulin resistance and the list goes on and all they wanted to do is give me more and more drugs which were making me sick and compromising my liver even more. I am only on thyroid now and hoping sometime I may even get off it.
Can you share more about your situation with fatty liver disease … symptoms, diet, etc.?
@@andriabrown6921 Thus is what I did. I drank warm water with about 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar. I went on the ketogenic diet with only 17 carbs a day. I added milk thistle especially for my liver and began walking. I worked myself from skipping breakfast to eating only between 3 and 6 then to a 48 hour fast. My symptoms were smelly arm pits, swollen abdomen. I would retain water especially in my abdomen and legs. Sleep was poor; pain increased; never felt full; fatigue; and more. May I suggest this way of eating even if you have not been diagnosed. Your health will improve.

Do you think vitamin C supplementation helps with preventing plaque?
Hi doctor. About 2 weeks ago I did blood tests. My cholesterol was 251. Hdl and ldl were very good so I figured I had nothing to worry about. My doctor was of a different opinion. I told him that he was wrong and there is nothing wrong with having such cholesterol. He was very upset and argued with me because he thought he knew better. He's an old man who should be retired by now :) He recommended me cholesterol lowering pills but I refused, laughing at the same :P Speaking of this sugar-free challenge. My weight dropped from 163kg to 129kg.
Thank You Hakai-Shin [SlavoPL]. Awesome. congratulations on your weight loss. I would suggest also doing an NMR to get the full picture. 😀
No one is too old to learn! Suggestion would be to tell your doctor where you learned your new life style and how it is helping you; give him Dr. Ekburg materials as a reference, that way he would be able to help you better. I took a similar approach with my physicians several years ago, after learning and from Dr. Ekberg materials and others in addition to my researches. And now I am healthier than few years back without any medication, by educating myself first and then my physicians who were trying to help me to live. It works, you should try it.
Rather than defending yourself .Why not just change doctors. Did it occur to you you're going to see this doctor again.
Who's the crazy one ?
129 kg is also very high
@@aparnaroy8814 I know. This is only the beginning of my journey to healthy life. I started changing my life at the beginning of September. I think i've made huge progress from September to December.
I am just so relieved that I discovered the benefits of LCHF eating "in time". I am now 67, and continue enjoying a pain-free, mobile life.
From my bloods works I know I am insulin sensitive. Dr Ekberg and his videos have played a large role in providing me with the dietary and other information in order to achieve this status.
Same here. I am 72 and there is no doubt in my mind had I not found this I would no longer be here.
What are your typical foods you eat?
Thankyou Dr Sten Ekberg! My doctor said my cholesterol is getting high, because I am eating too much eggs so she wants to put me on meds for it. I was so scared and stopped eating eggs. I think I have metabolic syndrome though. I am doing intermitten fasting eating one or 2 meals per day. My weight is 159 pounds. I am not losing weight fast because I cannot excercise now for about 5 months due to a sciatic nerve flare up, after I ran a 5k marathon. I give up can't win. I also have digestive issues because of no gallbladder, I feel like my body is very gassy as well because my food is not digesting properly! Thanks again for your videos.

going carnivore...After listening to the different carnivores and doctors i realized that healing my prediabetic must first happen before weightloss can happen.. So almost 3 months into carnivore, eating pure red meat..eggs..butter. bacon sometimes raw kefir i am losing bellyfat!! Which i have not been able to get rid off even in the years i was eating "keto" ( large amounts of veggies that now i know where to high carb)..or vegan..or wfpb no fats no salt and no sugar....I am almost 59 and finally the bellyfat that i had accumalated since menopause is melting almost before my eyes:-)..
So focus on healing first ..which happens for each of us in a different pase for each .. but it will happen just trust and give your self for christmas the gift of time and patience ...it will be the most beautiful gift ..just watch an see

i have familial Hypercholesterolaemia so i have very high cholesterol I'm only 24. i am on statins and am trying to change my diet, exercise more, drink less, etc. but I'm terrified of having a heart attack or stroke. i havent got any symptoms of high cholesterol but it does scare me a lot.
My CAC went from 122 to 264 in the last two years. I had undiagnosed and uncontrolled diabetes for at least four years until it was discovered three years ago. I then went quite strict keto and OMAD. My Blood Pressure is normal, Triglycerides and HDL decent, I haven't smoked or drank in a few years, and my C-Peptide is currently 1.28. My A1C is currently 5.5. I take Vit D, magnesium, K-2, tocotrinals, cod liver oil, and berberine in low doses. I'm thin, in the best shape in my life, and now at 120 push-ups a day. Yet my CAC has more than doubled in two years and is up 142 points. What gives? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm an expat so I can't find a keto doctor to see in person, so any help with online keto doctors would be much appreciated as well.
But doesn’t the keto lead to high cholesterol?
That’s very odd for sure. I wonder why although I have heard some people say that the damage takes a while to slow down lose the momentum and cease after living previous lifestyle as you described
Last time I went to a dr for a general physical (in the second decade of this century) they were still doing the cholesterol test that doesn’t separate the HDL from the LDL. They say they have a ratio to estimate the distribution, but not all bodies are equal. That, to me makes as much sense as one blood pressure and using a ratio to determine the diastolic/systolic numbers
Thank you Dr Ekberg and Team!! I’m so happy to have such intelligent people in my everyday life! Lets like and share this information with everyone we know and love!

Thank you for your information. I will make myself more healthier.
Dr Ekberg please address how to reduce Remnant-C cholesterol to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack). I've read studies that state high Remnant-C cholesterol creates a high risk for heart attacks. "Remnant cholesterol, also known as remnant lipoprotein, is a very atherogenic lipoprotein composed primarily of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL).[1] Stated another way, remnant cholesterol is all plasma cholesterol that is not LDL cholesterol or HDL cholesterol,[1] which are triglyceride-poor lipoproteins.[2] However, remnant cholesterol is primarily chylomicron and VLDL, and each remnant particle contains about 40 times more cholesterol than LDL.[3]
According to one study, high remnant cholesterol is more predictive of myocardial infarction than any other lipid particle.[4] Remnant cholesterol is especially predictive of coronary artery disease in patients with normal total cholesterol.[5][6]
High plasma remnant cholesterol is associated with increased plasma triglyceride levels.[7] Hypertriglyceridemia is characteristic of high plasma remnant cholesterol, but persons with high plasma triglycerides without high remnant cholesterol rarely have coronary artery disease.[8]
Remnant cholesterol has about twice the association with ischemic heart disease as LDL cholesterol.[9] Although remnant cholesterol tends to be higher in people who are overweight (high body mass index), normal-weight persons with high remnant cholesterol tend to have a higher risk of myocardial infarction.[10]
Remnant cholesterol is associated with chronic inflammation, whereas LDL cholesterol is not.[11][2]"

My LDL is was 447 and my HDL is 325, My doctor told me to eat a lot of vegetables. Meat and fish not more than three times per week. I should not eat much sweets and not to much carbohydrates. My LDL is now 324 and HDL is 215. My problem is, when I eat less carbohydrates I get hungry quickly even though I eat mainly whole wheat. Without the carbohydrate in my meals I get mager very quick and underweight. You suggest in other videos to eat meat and vegetables. If I eat meat and vegetables I loose weight rapidly. So what about people like me who shouldn't lose no more weight because of the danger of getting anorexia?

I am sorry I was not a winner BUT CONGRATULATIONS to the 3 winners,
I had a heart attack having taken Naproxin, for what started as back ache but had moved to ankle by the time i took the tablets. Main problem was stress, trying to work for months with back ache climbing in and out of a small cockpit. I felt like a pressure cooker waiting to blow. I believe the tablets was the match that lit the fire.
My aviation Dr. said in the early 90's they gave them to elderly for aches and pains, but saw lots of HA, so it was stopped.
Outstanding Content & Presentation - thank you so much.

I can confirm about the crawling/tingling sensation on the feet, it only happens when I go to bed and it drives me insane, I feel like I have bugs crawling up my feet, after 2 mattresses and countless sheets I took a blood test and my cholesterol level is high due to poor diet, being forced to work in office has made me neglect good eating habits changing them for the fast and quick snack/meal and has caused my cholesterol level to spike
Try to take potassium supplement and check your bloodsugars or insulin levels.

Vitamin K2 and get adjusted
Did you watch the entire video? Cholesterol is not the problem
You’ve been lied to. Your carb filled diet is the problem. Not cholesterol. Fire your doctor. Start keto and intermittent fasting. You’ll get better.
Love your videos in English but for now I’m in Italy and listen to your videos every day Thankyou 😮you put my mind at ease
My cholesterol is 400+
LDL 380.
I really don't care. I'm on keto.
My body fat is 8%.
Dave Feldman call people like me LMHR.
My doctor try it to force me into statins. I said , after my death I'll take it. 😀
If total is 400 and LDL 380 that makes the HDL 20 which is very low, not good.
@@nickbardan3867 right numbers
Total 474

I am a LMHR too with high LDL, but my HDL 80, and Triglycerides 59.
Total 350 LDL 60 triglyceride 50.....Tried 4 different statins in a period of 2 years. I destroyed my body composition. Look like a fat ballon. Trying now to recover and its working well after the first 3 months drug free.
My gallbladder symptoms have improved dramatically since cutting seed oils out of my diet, thank you. You have been a true blessing.
Dr Ekberg , can you please talk about menopause, hot flashes and real reasons. Thank you ❤
