Great doctor in more ways than one ; I’ve listened to him from other sources. I so appreciate his clear explanations. Highly frustrated with the host, interrupts & talks too much & at times cutting off the guest, might as well have done the video by herself! TOo many hosts do that these days with there guests. I just ended up cutting off the video and seeking another that doesn’t display that.
Interesting video - The big word is "genetics" You have to look at your families genetics to see the weaknesses once you establish your families genetic weaknesses you are then able to do everything poss to avoid the pitfalls - At 40 I was diagnosed with Hyperlipidemia with a triglyceride level of 7 and a cholesterol level of 5.5 - The biggest concern was the triglyceride as that’s the hidden killer as it’s the sugary fat but what with that and the cholesterol level being raised I had to see a lipid specialist - Now I don’t smoke and don’t drink at all and don’t do fast food - Hard to believe but very true! - I was advised to go on a statin as genetically I was deemed a risk as my dad passed with a heart attack in 2006 and Mum as angina - However once u start on that statin route u are on them for life and obviously no medication is without side-affects and I was only 40 Yr’s age - So a life style change was needed - But I thought I was already doing everything right! - I had to see a dietician who give me the diet Sheet but the food on it looked bland - pasta / Rice no sorry not something that would appeal to me at all! - However, I must confess I had a luv for bead - especially fresh Tiger loaf bread I could easily eat a whole loaf in one go - Very bad! - So looking at the diet sheet oily fish was something that was recommended - especially mackerel! - So I started to eat that twice a Wk plus I had porridge oats every morn and I started to run every day - Couple Mth’s I had a full blood count at GP all levels reduced - No statin required! - I still get elevated levels now but have regular full lipid profiles done every 3 to 4 Mth’s to keep it checked - Never ever ignore high cholesterol - It is a hidden killer especially if theres any family history of heart probs - Look at your immediate genetics and beyond if poss is my advice!
Thank you for this video. I made a decision 6 months ago to gradually reduce my statins and remove them after being on them for 3 years and I am fit healthy as I walk, cycle and weight train as a senior, eat as much fresh food as possible and exercise regularly. My LDL is in higher but still within range, HDL is slighter above limit and triglycerides less than 1 without taking statins and so that’s why I made the decision to remove statin from my pharmaceutical regimen for health.
Excellent and informative - I had a full profile done with high total but the rest is all good. The doctor straight away mentioned statins. I am very healthy, fit and don't eat any processed foods etc. I will be questioning her logic!
Did you actually watch this video? I talk for the first 2 minutes doing the intro setting up the topic of discussion and then only ask relevant questions in response to what Dr Malhotra is talking about. Questions I think my viewers would be interested in. You're welcome.
Glynis does a short introduction then her talking is generally paraphrasing and asking the odd question. Her talking was a perfect balance and helped produce and informative conversation. 👍
What are you talking about? It's an interview, meaning there's an interviewer and an interviewee. If Glynis introduced Dr. Aseem Malhotra and then let him talk uninterrupted, it would become a lecture, not an interview. It's perfectly acceptable to pause a guest to ask questions, get clarification, or expand on something that's been said or not yet covered.
What does the person with the familial cholesterol do? I have 304 and it’s supposed to be 200 the Dr said but he also said my good cholesterol is excellent
I would not be qualified to answer that but I would say if your good cholesterol is excellent then that's a good sign. Perhaps have a read of Dr Malhotra's book about statins?
I have high cholesterol which the GP would like to prescribe Statins. Apparently, it is the sugar i add to my tea that has caused levels to be high as I don't eat meats, butter or cheese. I have a pretty good diet, i eat lots of salads, jacket potatoes, fruit etc and my cholesterol level is 7.9..I wonder if it is more to do with my getting older....
Yes the 'small molecule' type of LDL is the one that sticks to the wall of your arteries and invites the production of cholersterol to mend the tears, and this type of LDL comes from sugars & carbs. The 'large particle' LDL bounces along your bloodstream, more buoyant and less sticky, this comes from fat. Moral of the story, curb the glucose and get the good fats into you. And stay away from low fat versions of food, they have added sugar.
Also, the older we get, the higher our cholesterol needs to be to feed our aging brains. Higher cholesterol in senior years in the absence of bad lifestyle choices is not corralated with heart disease. But the use of statins in senior years is linked to alzeimers.
The reduce risk in people who have have a heart attack taking statins most likely dosen't come from the colesterol part of it, but togheter with statins they most likely take blood thinners. So the cloting factor reduces. Unless damage of the endotilial cell. How could colesterol be a problem at all. It's not cemically possible.
Of course I understand why You took the shots ! If I could have stopped you and all the people who took it ! It's only few weeks since I've seen You and the knowledge You share is wonderful ! All the messages I've sent about the ARN dangers in the last 2years were cut by my "medical" hackers ! 😭
I'm a little confused by the point of this channel. It's primarily to advertise products and your website. But YT doesn't allow that so there are a few generic tips along the way. Am I correct? I also don't feel Glynis, with respect, is qualified in anything that's discussed or sold. It's simply about leveraging the name of an actress from the 80s. I've found some content interesting, but the above doubts are always there.
Well thankfully most people have found both this channel and the Ageless website very useful and am pleased to say that many have written to me to say they've been inspired to make lifestyle changes as a consequence. No I'm not an expert and have never claimed to be, which is why I talk to people who are. However, I've also garnered a lot of experience and knowledge since embarking on an organic lifestyle in the 1980's long before it was a "thing". I don't manufacture any products so am not advertising anything. I do however have an Ageless shop where I put products I like and to make it easy for people to get hold of them. I can assure you that Ageless has always been a project of passion for me and is a tremendous amount of work in a schedule that is already overloaded. The thought of doing it to leverage my name as an actress is frankly laughable. I actually started it after joining Twitter and people constantly asking me for beauty tips and for tips on ageing well.
@@AgelessbyGlynisBarber Oh dear, hit a nerve with such defensiveness. Actually, I said using your name to leverage the site. Not the other way round. You may be passionate about your site, but its commerical. You derive multiple benefits not least complimentary treatments, consultations etc.. At least admit this is primarily a business.
@@AgelessbyGlynisBarber I wasn't trying to offend, but stating my perception. I also said some videos were interesting. Anyway, its a free world, of action and opinion for us both.
@@yoya4766 Yes it certainly is and you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. It does seem to have changed somewhat from a short while ago however? You made some nice comments about learning some interesting nuggets of information and commented on the wide variety of topics covered?
Think the dangerous rhetoric comes from the ignorant with their heads in the sand, that can't open their minds, not esteemed cardiologigist doctors, like Aseem Molhotra.
Yes, claiming that statins are ever necessary for anyone except the tiny percentage of ppl that have familial cholesterolemia is very dangerous rhetoric, but what can we expect from mainstream doctors and pharmaceutical companies?
@@karenlnsy You may need to read my comment again. I get it, sometimes I read too fast and jump to a conclusion. I am not referring to Aseem here, I´m talking about the mainstream doctors who never mention a single lifestyle change, but they´re only too happy to prescribe meds over and over again. Dr. Malholtra is one of the rebels/game changers and I´ve been following him for several years. Hope this clears up any confusion I may have caused.
A doctor we can trust. Thanks Aseem.

Same here...she's annoying...asks questions but don't let the doctor answer any of them....😮
Just downloaded A Statin Free Life on Audible. Can't wait to start the book! 👍😊

Dr. Malhotra's book is quite informative

Sounds like you made a smart decision and that you're in pretty good shape.
Every person on a statin will suffer from permanent muscle damage.
[I will try to link clinical paper].
Very informative Glynis, so interesting thank you
No Glynis, don’t stop him - let him speak!
Excellent, will look forward to the triglycerides chat . Thank you both
Good interview by Dr Malhotra. We need this info on tap
Oh doctor you are very patient.
Excellent and informative - I had a full profile done with high total but the rest is all good. The doctor straight away mentioned statins. I am very healthy, fit and don't eat any processed foods etc. I will be questioning her logic!
As Dr Anthony Chaffee says, fire her!😁
Paul Mason is the guy for this subject.
true information
This would have been much easier to watch if Glynis had let her guest speak more.
I love hearing Glynis's real SA accent ....albeit a little diluted. She never used it for TV.
But she’s interviewing someone that we want to listen to - we don’t want to hear her talking ( despite her nice accent! )
Lady you need to let him talk and not interrupt him so much 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@@steveherridge8965 Oh dear! I love my jacket potatoes. The other night I was very naughty, I ate 4 Mars bars, one after theother..they were lovely.

I don’t think triglycerides are part of Cholesterol??
no they are a type of fat found in your blood but are important when looking at results of blood tests.

Dangerous rhetoric
