Eggcellent presentation! I’m with you re the LMHR issues first noticed in 2019. Traditional medicine went strait for a statin and then I found Dave Feldman and you. I am constantly tweaking my lifestyle and am no longer surprised by the movement in my numbers. Having you to explain it all and work with what I believe caused the changes and allow me to “copilot “ my healthcare now is immensely beneficial.

The great news is that you help give us the tools and guidance, Yoda, to understand what we can and cannot get away with any longer. Thanks!
@@PrevMedHealth hello doctor thank you for everything you do for us and help you every day. my mother asked for the doctor she trusted because she has the same problem you had with plaques in the internal artery. And she asked him who listened to her when you say that with statins, supplements, aspirin. Arteriosclerosis plaques slowly shrink until you heal. He replied, it's not possible. because this fat has to go somewhere. maybe it blocks the heart or brain. this doctor discouraged my mother who is 54 years old. If you can read me doctor can make another video on this topic. Thank you very much 🙏🍀
I'm 78 and I have been eating 6 eggs (plus a small can of sardines) 3 times a week right after lifting weights/resistance training for so many years already...then 4 eggs/day on non-resistance training days or 4 times a week. I don't go for a lab test nor see a doctor, also for so many years. I just go for what I feel and so far, I feel great at my age. I know people who are much younger than me who avoid eggs and rely solely on lab test/doctors but some of them are now on a wheel chair. I live in a high rise condo, 6th floor to be exact, and I seldom use the elevator (only when carrying groceries)...instead, I use the stairs.

The good thing about eating eggs is that eggs give you a lot of CHOLINE. From choline comes acetylcholine which is important In nerve conduction. In other words, choline improves the brain and nervous system which makes you feel good. The high level of nerve conduction from flooding your body with choline improves muscle growth because muscle cells need proper amounts of acetylcholine to stimulate muscle cell health, growth, and strength. Plus, eggs have a lot of protein. You need choline to protect yourself from gallstones. And, the choline buffers you from neuro degenerative diseases like dementia.
Excellent video Dr. I am 61, checked my A1C last Nov after feeling extremely tired and I was 6.4, and decided to fight diabetes with diet and exercise. I learned about Keto, and I started on Keto, and stayed on it for about 9 months, then learned about Carnivore and have been on it ever since. I am 1.72m and I was 198lb. I am now 170lb. Intermittent fasting. I am very discipline. However, my fasting glucose is still around 120. This week I struggled to walk after feeling great for almost a year, had a little pain in my left shoulder, some chest weight, and lack of air. So today I did a follow up blood test today (11 months later) to see what my numbers are. After discovering you through your Brachial Index video, my index seem to be within normal: Left : 1.07 Right: 1.13 Hope my carnivore diet has not damaged me, I can easily go back to Keto, my I was scared and disappointed.
Stay carnivore better........keto sometimes give feel different kind of feel...carvings........what's the problem with carnivore? Nothing....I can walk where ever I want without any lazy..climb mountains..swim in river........why you need go back.......stay carnivore
Great overview Dr. Brewer. Well, I have upped my egg consumption from 2/day to 3/4/day. From a previous video you made, I have been working hard to cut out all sugar and most refined carbs. I noticed that when I had a refined carb snack after dinner, I got very sleepy, like I'd been drugged, but still craved more and more carbs. When I substituted one or two eggs [for the high carb snack], I no longer felt this way and felt satisfied and full! Actually, starting to feel better all around with a lower carb/no sugar diet; still my wife thinks I'm crazy. I have some questions about your results. First, is the protein in 10 eggs, above your recommended protein requirement, and could that be factor in your measured results? I'm more into weight/resistance training (at 68 years of age) than high intensity cardio. Walking and swimming, running up and down the stairs (twice a week) is as much as I care to do, so my protein requirement may be more or less than yours. Presently, I eat less than the equivalent protein of 10 eggs/day, which would be high for me. Thank you again for these great videos! You have inspired me to change my eating habits.
That should make it worse, so if it’s decent then I’d see that as a good sign. Never gonna make me eat pork, but still an interesting little experiment.
It is often mentioned that runny yolked eggs are much healthier. I have never microwaved eggs. It is so easy to drop eggs in a fry pan with butter. When the eggs are partially cooked, just add a little water and put a lid on for easy delicious basted eggs. Get an egg cooker and soft boil, again so easy.
Thank you, Dr. Brewer, for the great podcast! I eat a lot of eggs too, low carb and moderate exercise. My markers remain low, especially LDL and with increased HDL. Even if eating eggs only is damaging, I will still eat them only vs big pharma or big food.
@PrevMedHealth Excellent video, Dr. Brewer! I enjoyed watching your videos because you make the difficult subject easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
When I was so weak, found out Cancer from DES, had to work till I found a Dr that finally figured out, I was a Mail Carrier primary income. All I had energy to do was boil eggs 🥚 in morning for my daily food energy. It helped so much. Along with B12. Remember I was told I was just getting old. I walked like a wet old lady. It was awful I was 56-58. Endured much from management. But thank God I got through my 30 years. 🙏🙏
My happy place is about 2 doz eggs/week. We get them from a small family farm down the street for $5/doz. They are white, brown, green and blue, and every hue in between, with a few feathers mixed in for good measure. They are delightful! I also get beef tallow from their grass fed cows for about $6 for a large jar. Everything I fry I use that, besides some olive oil when more appropriate.
Egg whites are known to be a bit allergenic for some and so might be a bit inflammatory. Being further into ketosis should help reduce inflammation a bit and also might possibly help in protection from metabolic diseases like heart disease, T2D, and cancer. BTW, I resolved my cancer w making big changes around diet and lifestyle....basically I am fortunate, and I know it.
Hello Dr Brewer! Great presentation... Now I'm curious what your baseline labs look like, let's say, 30 days after returning to your typical diet. Be well!
PubMed is a medical database a reputable source to research med scientific literature online for the public for free access. But some articles in specialty journals are not accessible by the publisher may have a fee for an article.
Dr. Brewer, You are an eggsellent eggsample for us at the eggsactly proper moment in history. You are all you are cracked up to be. Glad you are out of your shell. 😂
The consistent stuffing eggs in your mouth reminds me of Lucy O’Ball and Ethyl on the assembly line thst sped up. In the mouth, pockets, etc. … glad that you brought up LDL large. That was an “eggsellent” point.
I limit my egg consumption to: days when I know I am going to be physically active and go 4-5 hours before next meal. It sustains me better than a high fiber/fresh fruit blend(hollow carbs). But I find about 4 per week is my limit. I am sulfa sensitive and that seems be what limits my consumption. If I have 3 I can feel it. I agree with taking more ownership and stay informed, which you are just one source. I did recommend you and your site to my cardiologist. I live near Cleveland so I use some of their experts too. But I find reduced sugar consumption reduction is the single smartest action a person at any age can do. Staying physically and mentally active would be next.
Wait, you didn't say if you also stopped taking nattokinase and aged garlic supplements... Wouldn't those affect your levels too? Or did you sacrifice them for the stunt? Love your videos for how carefully, patiently you explain things, teaching us as opposed to just "telling" us what to do. Your methodical and thorough approach wins me. And the fact that you broke ranks with most other people active in the medical profession.
That 2.2uIU/ml fasting insuline! I have 5.5 which is not decent; that number is a dream! Coupled with those 33 TG, I suspect practically means ZERO carbs!
@PrevMedHealth Dr. Brewer, I have a question about the high Omega-6 in eggs. An egg has 1,148mg of Omega-6 and 74mg of Omega-3 (Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio is 15). Does eating so many eggs result in super high Omega-6 in the body? And then I think about cooking may reduce the effects of Omega-6 and Omega-3 since they don't like high heat. My guess is that as long as eggs are fully cooked, Omega-6 will disappear after the cooking and should not cause extreme Inflammation to the body. Do you agree?
I eat 1 to 2 eggs with meat every morning! They are such great protein source! When I control carbs this reduces gives me a good Triglyceride/HDL ratio.
I think you should to redo the experiment with better controls on your food , trying to match carbs and SF nearly eggactly. People can have a pretty wide range of cholesterol absorption differences. Some are hyper responds, some weak, and some almost nothing. I don't think you need quite 10 days and 100 eggs; 3 days should be enough to see the changes (at least based on changes seen from the Feldman protocol). A much simpler experiment for those wanting to know, and more precise, is to do it only for 3-4 days of NO eggs , tracking everything. Then get a measurement of lipids. Then switch to 3 days with eggs (I did 8/day) but also make sure to approximately match. carbs, SF and such to the no egg days. then get another lipid panel. My LDL went from 135 NO eg to 128 with eggs. So I'm happy to keep eating.
I remember Dr Don Layman saying that a change in dietary cholesterol will change blood cholesterol levels but only temporarily. The production of cholesterol by the liver will respond to a higher cholesterol consumption, but it takes a week or two. It would be interesting to see a properly controlled trial that tests this.
Will the bacon and/or be another factor that could taint the true value of the test? I agree with mixing about 1/2 slice of bacon with a heated or boiled egg with a little butter and pepper. Also, are the eggs soft boiled or soft center or fully cooked?
I have FH and my cholesterol regardless of statin has always been fairly high, but 6 months ago I went low carb and I exercise regularly but when I got my tests back my total went thru the roof! HDL went down slightly and triglycerides went down slightly but my A1C went from 5.7 to 5.6 and thyroid went hyper🤷♀️
Eggcellent video! I don't think you mentioned if you tried to maintain your baseline caloric intake and if you put on some weight. - I think one take away, don't be fearful of eating a couple eggs a day. Anyone talking to their doctor should tell them if they are on a low carb or keto diet when evaluating lipids panel, don't assume just because the doctor doesn't ask it is not relevant to the analysis. Lastly, with folks like you eating 10 eggs a day, I now understand rising egg prices. 😋 Just yoking
I ate 2 fried eggs with tomato and some greens every other day. Eggs in moderation are good for you. Thank you for this video. I appreciate you. God bless you richly.
I think it would be very important and interesting to see what your lab results were one month, two months, 3 months and do forth up to 12 months later. Only one test a week later leaves more questions on the table than not.
The problem is doctors test people 3 or 6 months after supposedly starting a new diet. I was lucky when I was 16 I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high triglycerides in the 1980’s and was referred to dietician and in one month cutt8ng out eggs and obvious sweets like cake and candy, and less sugar by drinking less juice and a little less soda (I still drank some soda) my cholesterol dropped 50 points and my triglycerides went to normal. Throughout the last 50 years I can always reduce my cholesterol 50 points in a few weeks when I let it get out of control eating badly. Some of us over produce and over absorb cholesterol some people don’t. Doctors should test patients 2-3 weeks of patients drastically changing their diet, encause they can keep it up that long, and see if there is any extreme effect. It does not mean a person will keep up that extremism, but they will see their diet does really matter a lot or that what they eat does nothing. Waiting MONTHS to retest a pt is just too long, immediate feedback is more meaningful.
I'm doing an egg elimination at the moment. I had thought that my rumbly tummy in the past had been from too much sweetener consumption but over the last 2 days I have eaten 11 eggs and hardly any sweeteners. On the first evening my tummy was a bit rumbly (6 eggs) and then yesterday I had 1 for breakfast and then 3 for lunch and about 1 hour later I started feeling nausea. I had only had egg coffee (with 2 stevia tablets no erithrytol) for breakfast and then 3 eggs with 1/3 tin of ham for lunch. I felt off all afternoon but did have another egg at dinner time, and then started feeling the nausea again later in the evening. The eggs I buy are from egg farm so very fresh; barn laid, not free range (can't afford those). No eggs so far today (breakfast and lunch). Feeling a little bit queasy but not as bad as yesterday.
@@AMN320 Thanks AMN. I was starting to wonder if it might have been the fat in the eggs. I have been eating a reasonable amount of fat but I'm wondering if the fat in eggs might be a bit different to animal fats and butter/cream.
@@jobrown8146 this video I shared is a bit simplistic but it kind of may give an idea on how our digestive system also have to function well for our diet to be effective.

What are your thoughts on long term statin use? I started 10 mg of Lipitor for 8 years and then have been on 40 mg for an additional 8 years and am 54 now. Normal blood pressure but have issue with carbs and have been low carb for 20 years with some breaks in between.
THANK You Dr Ford, an excellent informative video 😊👍 My view of eggs.. One of natures MOST Perfect foods. I eat low carb mostly animal based with SMALL amounts of broccoli & macadamia nuts. I don't have eggs daily - But I am NOT Worried about Pasture-Raised Eggs up to FOUR Maximum/day. -70SomethingGuy
I ate three eggs a day and I had high cholesterol. Dr wanted to put me in statin! I dumped the eggs and my cholesterol came down, it took two months though not ten days
Will you please tell us what blood tests we viewers can perform at home? I test for glucose and it’s never above 100 except right after eating but I’m more interested in bloodwork values. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. I keep going with 2 eggs in the morning, plus a shake of avocado, mango with Chia seeds, linseeds, and home made yogurt. No lunch. For dinner 3 table spoons of rice and beans with a medium size stake or a pork sirloin. Still looking for more exercizes.
I have an appointment to go over my recent blood tests with my doc, and am expecting the "statin recommendation", which I will refuse. TriG .87 mmol (77 mg/dl) HDL 1.64 mmol (63 mg/dl) LDL 4.6 mmol (177 mg/dl). I have some weight to lose and am working on that; heading in the low carb direction. Great video, thanks
I had 20 laying hens producing near 20 a day. I was cooking a dozen for lunch and even a dozen fed back to hens and still had 18 dozen in the fridge! Got to the stage I was sick of eggs sold a few chickens off then lost a load to foxes sadly.
Going to do the same experiment, I truly believe there is something in egg that fix my sleep. When I switched from keto to carnivore I used to eat lots of egg in keto, started only meat and my sleep got disturbed. I need to try that and see if the egg was the trick because I started to introduce other foods and nothing has came back so will see.
I hadnt eaten eggs for 50 yrs but started eating about 6 eggs per week. After doing this for bout 8 months not knowing lipid profile was changing, at routine yearly visit the doctor flipped cuz Total Cholesterol went from my usual 250 to 325, LDL from 150 to 200 HDL from usual 80-90 to 120. Triglcerides bout same as always at 60 ish. I stopped eggs temporarily. NO eggs for three weeks. I Only retested total cholesterol as I paid lab outta pocket, no doctor order. Total cholesterol after three weeks of NO eggs dropped from 325 to 272. Im 68 yr old female underweight all my life at 5'3 and 91 pounds. So were eggs to blame for increased total chol? I think so! Because i still had toast for carb with eggs.

Si comes huevos con mantequilla y tocino, cómo diferenciar en los resultados los efectos de los huevos de los efectos de la mantequilla y el tocino????. Tal como yo lo veo, eso invalida el experimento.
Actually, this might not be true, as the eggs get cooked faster in a microwave than in conventional ways of cooking, therefore are subjected to heating less amount of time.
Some say since a microwave oven heats water you actually preserve nutrients because temperature should stay at or below boiling. Of course we know a microwave also cooks faster, as stated in a previous reply, so the combination of low time and temperature may be beneficial.
@@chrispeede3479 Microwaving food is one of the healthiest ways of cooking, along with boiling, poaching and steaming. The UNHEALTHY ways to cook are grilling, roasting, frying. Read about ADVANCED GLYCATION END PRODUCTS (AGES). Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has an excellent video on this topic, posted about 4 months ago.
I have to admit this video is not what I was wanting to hear. In my recent tests my fasting blood glucose was in the middle of the pre-diabetes range, and my LDL on the high side. I work a very active job and also play sports, my body is very calorie hungry to maintain a healthy weight. After cutting out all added sugar from my diet I started losing weight like crazy, not what I want as I'm already too skinny! I calculate that I was getting 1000calories per day from sugar on top of a general high calorie food diet, so making up the lost calories is difficult. I was hoping to replace my sugary snacks throughout the day with eggs, as Im already eating 5 eggs a day minimum, 10 eggs a day or more would have been easy to do. Now after seeing the LDL go so high in this experiment Im hesitant to eat more eggs than I'm currently eating 😞
I eat 2-3 eggs a day, that is my main meal around 1 pm. I am also 67 and have had several skin cancer surgeries, two melanoma. We didn't have sunscreen, instead we used baby oil! 😂

@PrevMedHealth Dr. Brewer, I have a question about the high Omega-6 in eggs. An egg has 1,148mg of Omega-6 and 74mg of Omega-3 (Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio is 15). Does eating so many eggs result in super high Omega-6 in the body? And then I think about cooking may reduce the effects of Omega-6 and Omega-3 since they don't like high heat. My guess is that as long as eggs are fully cooked, Omega-6 will disappear after the cooking and should not cause extreme Inflammation to the body. Do you agree?
I eat 1 to 2 eggs with meat every morning! They are such great protein source! When I control carbs this reduces gives me a good Triglyceride/HDL ratio.
I think you should to redo the experiment with better controls on your food , trying to match carbs and SF nearly eggactly. People can have a pretty wide range of cholesterol absorption differences. Some are hyper responds, some weak, and some almost nothing. I don't think you need quite 10 days and 100 eggs; 3 days should be enough to see the changes (at least based on changes seen from the Feldman protocol). A much simpler experiment for those wanting to know, and more precise, is to do it only for 3-4 days of NO eggs , tracking everything. Then get a measurement of lipids. Then switch to 3 days with eggs (I did 8/day) but also make sure to approximately match. carbs, SF and such to the no egg days. then get another lipid panel. My LDL went from 135 NO eg to 128 with eggs. So I'm happy to keep eating.
The consistent stuffing eggs in your mouth reminds me of Lucy O’Ball and Ethyl on the assembly line thst sped up.
In the mouth, pockets, etc. …
I remember Dr Don Layman saying that a change in dietary cholesterol will change blood cholesterol levels but only temporarily. The production of cholesterol by the liver will respond to a higher cholesterol consumption, but it takes a week or two. It would be interesting to see a properly controlled trial that tests this.
If blood tests are only every 3-6 months does it really reflect our daily changes.
Will the bacon and/or be another factor that could taint the true value of the test? I agree with mixing about 1/2 slice of bacon with a heated or boiled egg with a little butter and pepper. Also, are the eggs soft boiled or soft center or fully cooked?
I have FH and my cholesterol regardless of statin has always been fairly high, but 6 months ago I went low carb and I exercise regularly but when I got my tests back my total went thru the roof! HDL went down slightly and triglycerides went down slightly but my A1C went from 5.7 to 5.6 and thyroid went hyper🤷♀️
I would love to see the same blood test ran on eating high protein vegan for 10 days. thanks 🤗
Eggcellent video! I don't think you mentioned if you tried to maintain your baseline caloric intake and if you put on some weight. - I think one take away, don't be fearful of eating a couple eggs a day. Anyone talking to their doctor should tell them if they are on a low carb or keto diet when evaluating lipids panel, don't assume just because the doctor doesn't ask it is not relevant to the analysis.
Lastly, with folks like you eating 10 eggs a day, I now understand rising egg prices. 😋 Just yoking
I ate 2 fried eggs with tomato and some greens every other day. Eggs in moderation are good for you.
Thank you for this video.
I appreciate you.
God bless you richly.
I hope you're wrong. I eat on the daily 8 pasture raised every day breaking daily 20 hour fast.
I think it would be very important and interesting to see what your lab results were one month, two months, 3 months and do forth up to 12 months later.
Only one test a week later leaves more questions on the table than not.
The problem is doctors test people 3 or 6 months after supposedly starting a new diet. I was lucky when I was 16 I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high triglycerides in the 1980’s and was referred to dietician and in one month cutt8ng out eggs and obvious sweets like cake and candy, and less sugar by drinking less juice and a little less soda (I still drank some soda) my cholesterol dropped 50 points and my triglycerides went to normal. Throughout the last 50 years I can always reduce my cholesterol 50 points in a few weeks when I let it get out of control eating badly. Some of us over produce and over absorb cholesterol some people don’t. Doctors should test patients 2-3 weeks of patients drastically changing their diet, encause they can keep it up that long, and see if there is any extreme effect. It does not mean a person will keep up that extremism, but they will see their diet does really matter a lot or that what they eat does nothing. Waiting MONTHS to retest a pt is just too long, immediate feedback is more meaningful.
I have been doing Keto for 5 and a half years now. My CRP is 0.04.
What is that?
I'm doing an egg elimination at the moment. I had thought that my rumbly tummy in the past had been from too much sweetener consumption but over the last 2 days I have eaten 11 eggs and hardly any sweeteners. On the first evening my tummy was a bit rumbly (6 eggs) and then yesterday I had 1 for breakfast and then 3 for lunch and about 1 hour later I started feeling nausea. I had only had egg coffee (with 2 stevia tablets no erithrytol) for breakfast and then 3 eggs with 1/3 tin of ham for lunch. I felt off all afternoon but did have another egg at dinner time, and then started feeling the nausea again later in the evening.
The eggs I buy are from egg farm so very fresh; barn laid, not free range (can't afford those).
No eggs so far today (breakfast and lunch). Feeling a little bit queasy but not as bad as yesterday.
Is your liver and bile okay? Fatty foods need bile and sometimes if that is not flowing well or is not enough you could feel nausea.
@@AMN320 Thanks AMN. I was starting to wonder if it might have been the fat in the eggs. I have been eating a reasonable amount of fat but I'm wondering if the fat in eggs might be a bit different to animal fats and butter/cream.
@@jobrown8146 this video I shared is a bit simplistic but it kind of may give an idea on how our digestive system also have to function well for our diet to be effective.
@@AMN320 Hi AMN. Which video? You might need to give the channel name and title of the video so I can search it. Sometimes you cannot put links in video comments. Thanks.
@@jobrown8146 oh okay. See kick it naturally. Its has a lot of information on the digestive system explained in a simple manner.
Had a 5 egg omlette for dinner!! Great vid Dr. Brewer. Quick question. I have LDL pattern A. Can your LDL pattern change from A to B. Thanks
What are your thoughts on long term statin use? I started 10 mg of Lipitor for 8 years and then have been on 40 mg for an additional 8 years and am 54 now. Normal blood pressure but have issue with carbs and have been low carb for 20 years with some breaks in between.
THANK You Dr Ford, an excellent informative video 😊👍 My view of eggs.. One of natures MOST Perfect foods. I eat low carb mostly animal based with SMALL amounts of broccoli & macadamia nuts. I don't have eggs daily - But I am NOT Worried about Pasture-Raised Eggs up to FOUR Maximum/day. -70SomethingGuy
You have said all the egg yolks
I mean all the egg jokes
So we don't have to.
We missed that one!
Does this suggest that there is a relationship between LDL and ketones vs LDL and glucose. ?
I ate three eggs a day and I had high cholesterol. Dr wanted to put me in statin! I dumped the eggs and my cholesterol came down, it took two months though not ten days
Will you please tell us what blood tests we viewers can perform at home? I test for glucose and it’s never above 100 except right after eating but I’m more interested in bloodwork values. Thanks
Jay Cutler ate 140 egg whites a day during training for Mr Olympia.
Thanks for sharing. I keep going with 2 eggs in the morning, plus a shake of avocado, mango with Chia seeds, linseeds, and home made yogurt. No lunch. For dinner 3 table spoons of rice and beans with a medium size stake or a pork sirloin. Still looking for more exercizes.
No chia or rice forever

Interesante Información . Gracias.
I added carbs back and increased A1C from 5.1 to 5.5. My LDL decreased, but worsening something with odds ratio of ~10 to make something with
Exactly same parameters for me. LDL went upto 106 and TC went up but HDL also went up.
I have an appointment to go over my recent blood tests with my doc, and am expecting the "statin recommendation", which I will refuse.
TriG .87 mmol (77 mg/dl)
HDL 1.64 mmol (63 mg/dl)
LDL 4.6 mmol (177 mg/dl). I have some weight to lose and am working on that; heading in the low carb direction.
Great video, thanks
That great info Dr Brewer. How about the Randal cycle? How about professor Bart Kay’s interpretation of the Randal cycle?
Could you explain more about the meaning of MA/CR? Why was it up to begin? Why did if fall? What is too high?
GOD bless you ❤😊
I had 20 laying hens producing near 20 a day. I was cooking a dozen for lunch and even a dozen fed back to hens and still had 18 dozen in the fridge! Got to the stage I was sick of eggs sold a few chickens off then lost a load to foxes sadly.
Going to do the same experiment, I truly believe there is something in egg that fix my sleep. When I switched from keto to carnivore I used to eat lots of egg in keto, started only meat and my sleep got disturbed. I need to try that and see if the egg was the trick because I started to introduce other foods and nothing has came back so will see.
if I had high Lp(a) 126 and super high ApoB would I even need a calcium score (CAC)? since ApoB is causal -prob need to focus on metabolic health?
I ate 45 eggs (20 without yolks) per day for 3 years. Cholesterol remained stable and healthy.
Dr Brewer, doesn’t eating too many eggs cause constipation?
I can't. I think I would get chest pain. Dr Ekberg (yes that's his name) on UA-cam also ate 100 eggs with no significant change in his labs, I think.
I hadnt eaten eggs for 50 yrs but started eating about 6 eggs per week.
After doing this for bout 8 months not knowing lipid profile was changing, at routine yearly visit the doctor flipped cuz Total Cholesterol went from my usual 250 to 325, LDL from 150 to 200
HDL from usual 80-90 to 120.
Triglcerides bout same as always at 60 ish.
I stopped eggs temporarily. NO eggs for three weeks. I Only retested total cholesterol as I paid lab outta pocket, no doctor order.
Total cholesterol after three weeks of NO eggs dropped from 325 to 272.
Im 68 yr old female underweight all my life at 5'3 and 91 pounds.
So were eggs to blame for increased total chol? I think so! Because i still had toast for carb with eggs.
Clearly yes. All people process these things differently.
@@Starfish2145 so i hate to give them up but always wonder if im at risk by eating them....such a nutrient dense food.
Good morning!
This is the guy in the math questions.
Would a person with chronic periodontitis have elevated CRP?
Chart…
Keep track every time you consume any amount.
Chart each day and each time you consume any amount.
I'm pretty sure it was that salad you had 🙊😅
hello doctor thank you for everything you do for us and help you every day. my mother asked for the doctor she trusted because she has the same problem you had with plaques in the internal artery. And she asked him who listened to her when you say that with statins, supplements, aspirin. Arteriosclerosis plaques slowly shrink until you heal. He replied, it's not possible. because this fat has to go somewhere. maybe it blocks the heart or brain. this doctor discouraged my mother who is 54 years old. If you can read me doctor can make another video on this topic. Thank you very much 🙏🍀
What is the feeling of lack of air? I get that sometimes as well as someone mentioned in the comments.
Egg salad is so much better for us than a word salad.

@michaelbarker742 "The significance of the passage of Eggs" in our colon
@@michaelbarker742eggselent yes there is great significance to laying down an eggselent plan in that passage every time right, 👐👐😂🤣 every morning, every afternoon every night when we think of the eggselent change in the life of our organs!

Hey Doc, I can't believe you hatched this birdbrain plan just to insert a "Cool Hand Luke" reference. 😅
N=1 studies! I like these!! Andre
Isn’t nuking the eggs bad for all the nutrients from the radio waves in your food?
Im a lean mass hyper responder on carnivore . Have an ileostomy that doesn't allow me to eat carbs at all, due to the fiber Content . My a1c is 6 and cholesterol is 545. Cac is zero at age 59 , but all other markers are good. Any ideas?
Plenty. Do you want to change anything? If so, why? I discuss why and all the time with my LMHR patients.
@PrevMedHealth thank you for replying g so quickly Dr. Brewer
El experimento sería distinto si sólo se hubiera comido huevos... Gracias por compartir
very interesting to know love this test and eggs!!🥚🥚🥚🥚😎👌
24 large boiled eggs in one meal is rhe most I've had.
Gracias
Si comes huevos con mantequilla y tocino, cómo diferenciar en los resultados los efectos de los huevos de los efectos de la mantequilla y el tocino????. Tal como yo lo veo, eso invalida el experimento.
You killed the good in the microwave!
My thoughts as well. Eat mine over easy.
@@chrispeede3479 Rubbish 🤣
Actually, this might not be true, as the eggs get cooked faster in a microwave than in conventional ways of cooking, therefore are subjected to heating less amount of time.
Some say since a microwave oven heats water you actually preserve nutrients because temperature should stay at or below boiling. Of course we know a microwave also cooks faster, as stated in a previous reply, so the combination of low time and temperature may be beneficial.
@@chrispeede3479 Microwaving food is one of the healthiest ways of cooking, along with boiling, poaching and steaming. The UNHEALTHY ways to cook are grilling, roasting, frying. Read about ADVANCED GLYCATION END PRODUCTS (AGES). Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has an excellent video on this topic, posted about 4 months ago.
Can you explain HDL LARGE, have not heard that, is that the same as HDL level? Thanks
I have to admit this video is not what I was wanting to hear.
In my recent tests my fasting blood glucose was in the middle of the pre-diabetes range, and my LDL on the high side.
I work a very active job and also play sports, my body is very calorie hungry to maintain a healthy weight.
After cutting out all added sugar from my diet I started losing weight like crazy, not what I want as I'm already too skinny! I calculate that I was getting 1000calories per day from sugar on top of a general high calorie food diet, so making up the lost calories is difficult.
I was hoping to replace my sugary snacks throughout the day with eggs, as Im already eating 5 eggs a day minimum, 10 eggs a day or more would have been easy to do.
Now after seeing the LDL go so high in this experiment Im hesitant to eat more eggs than I'm currently eating 😞
Why don’t you replace with healthy carbs like beans and nuts?
aren't eggs in large doses poisonous?
Wouldn’t The fat in butter and bacon will throw off the outcome ?
I eat 2-3 eggs a day, that is my main meal around 1 pm. I am also 67 and have had several skin cancer surgeries, two melanoma. We didn't have sunscreen, instead we used baby oil! 😂
Were you on stains during this N=1 ?
Great job
My Q is how to estimate the strength of muscle if not by size ? 😊
Hand grip testing and other similars are good options
So its safe to say you were in ketosis?
Might want to do some research on microwaves distort the nutritional value of foods.
What happens if your triglycerides are also high along with hogh LDL?
That's a bigger risk, high triglycerides are the consequence of poor glucose metabolism for most people, but there are those with genetic problems
@@PrevMedHealth I think it could be a combination of both. I am prediabetic. My family on my father's side all have high triglycerides and LDL etc.
Are you still taking a low dose Crestor ?
I hear normal glucose used to be 200 now they lowered it to 99 to 100 they would make it enough money off of 200
I don't understand the comment. Are you saying that they make money off the lower cut point?
Not really a fair test but I eat at least six eggs a day and everything is tip top 35 years old going on 36
Just video your intake of eggs..to erase doubts
