LDL would be low density lipoprotein that is carrying cholesterol through the blood stream. There is a study with millions of data points from various countries that has shown an LDL-Cholesterol level above 220 mg/dL will cause longevity. LDL-C levels lower than 220 are associated with a shorter life span. And yes, no one needs Statins.
I believe this is from reverse causation. Many diseases such as cancer can cause LDL to fall. Also, elderly with health problems tend to lose their appetite, then lose weight due to low caloric intake then causing a decrease in LDL. People also have drops in LDL following a heart attack. 10% after one day and almost 20% after one week. Also, some people with health problems such as atherosclerosis begin to take care of their health, their LDL drops, but then it's already too late. These people then die earlier skewing the data into a U-shape curve. I wouldn't gamble making the assumption that high LDL is okay. It sounds like your very excited that your LDL is high. If you have an heart attack, I hope you don't have regrets about your choices. This reminds me of people a few hours before death from covid, pleading for the vaccine, not realizing it doesn't work that way.
Good information. I am curious though. You all agreed that insulin is a big contributor to inflammation and other issues. The main interventions you emphasized focused on reducing or eliminating processed foods, low carbs, and stress management. Yet there is no mention of the negative impact of frequent snacks and meals, which trigger insulin. Time restricted eating plays a huge role in reducing insulin and subsequently inflammation. Would love to see you discuss that in future episodes.
Excellent - A clear, concise conversation with good uncomplicated take home advice from respected professionals. Passing on to friends and looking forward to more episodes.
Would you gentlemen agree that a "Mediterranean" diet (i.e. lots of FRUITS, POTATOES, CORN, BEANS, PASTA, BREADS, WHOLE GRAINS, etc.) would be a really BAD idea for a Type 2 diabetic with atherosclerosis?!!!!
“Lots of corn and potatoes”, where did you get your information from? That is not the mainstay of a classic Mediterranean diet. You missed seafood, moderate amounts of meat, and mostly vegetables, not mostly starches!
@@FoggyMom The Mediterranean diet has been debunked and the question was about Type-2 Diabetes. So yes, the Mediterranean diet would be horrible for diabetics.
Yes, anything with Carbs that breaks down into Glucose (sugar) is very bad for type-2 diabetics. Fruits are even worse since those have glucose and fructose (7-11 times worse than glucose). Diabetics could chose a low carb diet with select vegetables that do not cause Insulin spikes (glycemic index) and have the lowest amount of plant toxins. I would actually recommend the Carnivore diet because there is nothing in it that would spike blood sugar and cause an Insulin response. At least not on a level that is harmful for type-2 diabetics. Cheers. Also, all those negative myths about cholesterol and read meat have been debunked by real scientists.
I remitted my T2 diabetes by changing to a low carb diet back in Oct 2021. I found these videos/YT channels helpful (just search for the title): Glucose is Everywhere - by Sheryl Fox Dr Sarah Hallberg Ted Talk Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines Dr David Unwin: Avoid 20 Foods To Prevent DIABETES Dr Eric Westman Duke University Ketogenic Diet Serious Keto channel (Steve): earlier videos have some food / recipe ideas Beat Diabetes! (Dennis Pollock): there are some good food ideas on this channel
24:50 “The higher your ldl over 60 (years old) the less likely you are to die.” Right on, right on!

@@jakubchrobry3701 The truth is now evident that the vaxxx is/was the bio-weapon, not what it was presented.
@@jakubchrobry3701All great comments.
Another science denier making comments.

Noted ! We will dive deep into this
Truely enjoyed these gentlemen. We just need more like them in this world. Thank you Dr’s.
Pharma funds regulatory bodies, and these would be ostracised for daring to interfere with profits. You are right of course
My Mum had really bad psoriasis all her life until she became diabetic and stopped eating so much sugar suddenly it disappeared!
I think your Triglycerides No of 1.5 as a requirement is rather high. Under 1 is good.
Wish you had put links on these two docs, to find more info from them. Very good and interesting presentation
We’ll add this in if we can!
This was an excellent conversation and really dug into the importance of lifestyle. Thank you
A masterclass! Loved this!
Statins cause memory loss.
Excellent conversation

Any comment on the studies showing GLP-1 RAs reducing blood glucose, blood pressure, lipid levels, MIs, etc? Seems better than statins in addressing multiple metabolic syndrome markers.
Certainly if metabolic issues is the primary driver for that patient, no drug is side effect free and we’ll definitely dive deeper on metabolic health

Ok we’re on it
You need SEO. Great content
What about something with stents ... one statins for years..is this necessary..Great diet ,great weight, fit...
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Another request, would Mark try to look at Mohammed sometimes, at least when he answers his questions.
Nit picking comment which has no relevance to the content 👎
Lolol wow
