Amazing how we have been taught exactly the opposite. My Oncologist who put me on Keto/Intermittent fasting in Feb 2021 to drop 15 lbs (I lost 22 lbs of fat) was delighted to see my weight drop, my fat gone, and my cholesterol UP from 190 to 251. He told me: You’re doing it right! Don’t change a thing! The difference in him versus my American Schooled Primary Care MD? He was European trained and does not cater to big Pharma. So fortunate to have scored him as my Oncologist 🙏🏼.
It's all about the money and the business model. U.S. healthcare is profit based. There is more profit in a sick patient buying expensive drugs than a cured one. Europe is a cost based healthcare system. Since the government pays for healthcare it is in their best interest to keep costs low. A cured healthy patient costs less money.
@@eb6195 So the "government" is supposed the grab you and FORCE you to get outta the house, get daily exercise, and quit eating that 150 lbs of sugar Americans eat per year. And on top of that prohibit you from eating white wheat flour products, and white rice products, which are essentially just sugar. Those two things have basically no food value. (Not to mention the overeating of potato products). Yet that is mostly what people are eating today YOU are in control of what you eat. YOU are TOTALLY in control of your weight. A doctor cannot control your habits. You DONT need a doctor to remedy these things. 70% of Americans are overweight. Half of these are actually obese. AGAIN, YOU should take care of that, before you ever approach a doctor. And HE should take care of HIS OWN weight. He cannot force you to get exercise, and he cannot force you to feed yourself properly Do you realize that almost ALL "health problems" in the US are caused by and/or aggravated by weight problems?? WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK A DOCTOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT PROBLEMS YOU HAVE WHICH ARE CAUSED PURELY BY YOUR OWN CHOICES? So lets get away from the hilarious fallacy that doctors and governments are causing your health problems. Doctors arent even about health, they are about sickness. And they do a pretty decent job about that. But what exactly is a doctor supposed to do with you when you appear before him with all these things you caused by your behavior, and which you can remedy by a change in your behavior? So I am saying, GIVE US A FREAKING BREAK
My LDL came back real high and my Doctor told me to get ready for a massive heart attack i told him i am on a Ketogenic diet i have lost 110lbs never felt better ,he was laughing and told me to stop all meat and dairy and only eat veg and nuts I said no thank you so i got the CT calcium scan and my score was 0 no heart attack here i need a different doctor that understands how the Ketogenic diet works and it's hard to find one here in Arizona
True story, 1) I started Keto my total Cholesterol went above 300. 2) Doctor ordered 40mg statin. 3) on my own I took a calcium scan test and passed in flying colors. 4) Doctor reduced dosage to 20mg. 5) I pushed for LDL type test and found most LDL in my blood was low density. 5) Doctor reduced dosage to 5mg. 6) I bought the pills and left them in my drawer.
holy f how is this not the standard diagonostic procedure for doctors? If you want to know if something is working or not, do the damn test. One can argue for and against the biochemistry of lipoproteins, but you can't argue against a calcium score as physical evidence of efficacy. I'm starting to think that statin research by big pharma purposely ignored the most obvious method for testing efficacy just so they can market a product for 20 years until someone realizes LDL is irrelevant for plaq formation, cardiac events, and mortality.
So large LDL is harmless now. Who told you that? And do you think arteriosclerosis happens within a snap of your finger? You do know that it not only happens in the coronaries and still can cause stroke, MI, PE via unstable plaques. Who is the fool here?
I never bother with testing my blood. I don't have dietary paranoia. I grew up in a medical family. I know that M.D. doesn't mean "Medical Deity." My Dad was an M.D. He put his obese patients on a very low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet way back in the 1960's. .I never pay attention to cholesterol.
The brilliance of science, reasoning, logic, and unpretentious intent to make mankind well-guided with correct knowledge of health-that is, Dr. Nadir Ali. You are a gift to humanity.
Pharmaceutical companies profit by this belief, yet Americans eat it up..and we get fatter, have type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, and die from covid...
@@farmerjohn6526 So people will get fat from carnivore? I’m 137 pounds, blood work is normal, vitamins/ nutrients through the roof, and cholesterol level are above normal but we’re way past the ages of “cholesterol gives you heart disease and gives you heart attack.” Those were lies spread my the American heart association and by the USDA. They are failing us today. They are the reason everyone is fat. You can’t blame the people being fat.
Phew! Thank goodness for this talk. Now I know why my GP says my LDL is too high and suggested stains which I declined. I fast 18:6 most days and am low carb. This really put my mind at ease!🙏🙏🙏
I just got my bloodwork results and have high LDL. Haven't talked to doctor yet but I am nervous! Are you still feeling well? Are you still off stations? What is the doctor's perspective on this a year later? Thank you.
same here. For almost 20 yrs l have been skipping breakfast, eating 2 meals a day at 10-11 and 5-6, fasting/one meal a day twice a week, brisk walking & cycling almost everyday, but my cholesterol level is so high my doctor wanted to put me on statin. l declined bcos l was scared it might affect my organs. Was worried at first but not anymore..
@@suzannecarrier287 relax...u R the boss of U. Stations do not nor have ever prevented a stroke or heart attack. The manipulate cholesterol & make $$$ for RX & Dr.s who prescribe. They almost killed me & messed up my hormones. Eat the Human Diet ie: Keto/Carnavore & LIVE. Sugar/carbs causes spikes in glucose hence moods weight gain. Be well🙏
Same experience, LDL was up triglycerides were down and got prescribed a statin. Trying to research if I should take it, change my diet, or ignore and continue.
@@skinnydee1886 try ONE MEAL A DAY intermittent fasting (OMAD) I've been doing that for a few years now. I'm not hyngru at all ! you eat in 2-4hours window and fast 20-22 hours (16hours is minimum)... lots of videos about it on youtube, but just listen to those of real doctors like dr fung ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=Jason+Fung%2C+MD+omad
Doonwati Singh I’d perhaps add more protein. I believe protein adjustments can also be very useful to us who just tend to keep losing weight. Adding fruit to up carb intake to 15-20% might help too. But what’s the trade-off? What are your needs? Every person is different though because we all have slightly different lifestyles and health or body conditions. Only you can figure out what’s best for you I believe. I’m with you though, and I believe I need to up my fruits & veggies a little! It’s unfortunate that everything good is getting so darn expensive now!
I've lost 15 kg in three months through fasting!! I'm 5'8 and used to weigh 95 kg but after watching Dr.Berg's videos about intermittent fasting I decided to follow it strictly that helped me a lot in getting back to close to a healthy weight so I'm very thankful to Dr.Berg for saving my life and he says same thing as said in this video
Funny, same here. 95 kg and have lost 20kg in four month but my Cholesterol level went through the roof. I was shocked but when I saw Dr Bergs Videos about that I am pretty much cool now.
@@anwaaribrahim4079 look at your triglyceride and HDL too. You want you triglyceride / HDL lower that 2.0 and ideal is 1.0. I think LDL will stabilize, but may not go down.
@@anwaaribrahim4079 If you listened to the video you would understand that there is no need to be concerned about your LDL & your body excretes excess into your bowel and then mops up bad stuff( bacteria & toxins) in the gut. So you could say that on a keto diet high LDL is beneficial.
Here is a free rule that will save your life. Don’t listen to or buy any products that anyone is pushing that lines the pockets of big pharmaceutical companies.
there is a joke in my country: when you feel bad, you go to the doctor, after he check you, you pay him, because a doctor have to live. you take the recipe and go to the pharmacist, pay for the pills because the pharmacist have to live. after that, you come home, take your coat off, take the bag of pills and throw them in the sink, because you have to live too.
Yet you probably shoved people out of your way when you were first in line to get a Chinese virus vaccine. You know, from "evil" Big Pharma that literally saved the world.
I'm down 24.6lbs since I started keto (9 weeks ago). I've never felt more awake and alert. I stopped taking Ritalin for my ADHD. It's a life changing experience.
Look into the work of Neurologist -also qualified in nutrition - Natasha C.McBride; she developed the GAPS diet for many conditions; this after her son was cured through diet (he had ADHD).
My bipolar has been in remission (fat adaption exasperated it while on psych meds), my eating disorder is in remission as well. Anxiety was not helped with a keto diet but after believing and being told medication was the only thing to help my bipolar disorder and I HAD psychosis intermittently as well as 3 psychiatrists diagnose bipolar it is unbelieveable to me where I am now. My bipolar mood changes were always influenced by extreme stress and that isnt happening now. I would say my anxiety is worse than when I was on medication and it was already to the point that I am disabled so I am unsure how to move forward. The meds that helped some with anxiety made keto impossible due to the bipolar. Living with the anxiety has been unresolved through copious amounts of therapy and only seems to disappear up to 48 hours with an ativan which i dont want to take. My current plan is to utilize yoga/breathing exercise as it does help but it doesnt stop me from visiting the hospital constantly. Fyi before keto I was on tons of psych meds (cipralex, wellbutrin, topamax, clonazepam, seroquel), was diagnosed with t2 diabetes an a1c of 9 are skip the dishes/fast food every meal or the day, my hdl was .86, ldl 3.01, trigs 1.44. Only my hdl was out of range (low), 9 months later eating keto without many processed foods my hdl is 1.21 ldl 4.67 and trigs 1.03. I was eating far more sat fat and very unhealthy previously at 3000 to 3500 calories a day yet my ldl went up 50% when I lost 75lbs. How could it possibly be saturated fat doing this? My dietician is equally perplexed and this has led her to start investigating.
@@emilyanne3973my step daughter started microdosing pailocybin mushrooms for anxiety/depression and it has been a game changer. She moved to Oregon bc it’s legal there.
I didn’t have a family practitioner for 15 years because the last one I had wanted to put me on statin drugs because of my dad’s cardiac history. When I refused, he threatened to drop me as a patient and I told him not to bother as I would not be back. My total cholesterol at the time was 180 and my ratios were all in the lower to middle range of what is considered normal. My dad fought high cholesterol and cardiac issues is whole life trying to stay on their recommended diet.. oatmeal, no eggs, no red meat. In his later years he said to hell with it and started eating the foods he liked again.
Good for you! I had a small stroke two weeks ago. I am 73 and have been keto for four years. My dr. Wanted to put me on Statins I declined too. I feel that a keto life style has helped make the stroke smaller.
This is one of the finest presentations and discourses on the benefits of LDL and a ketogenic diet high in animal based foods. Fantastic that he gives credit to this grass roots movement to citizen scientists and patients. He warns those in the medical community to get on board and change the policies or they will all get the buggy whip! Wow!
Actually my new doctor suprised me. He was agreeing with me on my doubts about the meat, eggs, fats '''official'' guidelines, so he confirmed that there is no real evidence in regards to those being bad. The simple reason, is that he studied also statistics. That's what other doctors are missing. So when you check a statement, and the research backing it, if (for example) you see it's an epidemiological study, you know it's not a valid argument. But if you haven't studied statistics, then you take the statement at face value.
I just got my blood work read by my doctor. I've lost 50lbs on keto, but my cholesterol levels were high. I got worried. Now, after seeing the science behind this, I feel much better. My doctor said he wasn't worried. Took me off my blood pressure medication. Thank you!
keep your eyes on the Total cholesterol/HDL ratio. As long as it is under 5.1, I wouldn't lose sleep over the high LDL number. I started my keto last year my ratio has gone down from 5.0 to 4.0. Healthy and happy as a clam.
Sounds like mine I’m off BP tabs too ldl was slightly high now when I stopped meats and very limited my Hal good ldl too I eat a lot of fish I fast 21 hrs a day keeping a eating window of only three hours
I've been on the ketogenic diet for more than 7 years. I have very low triglycerides, low insulin, high LDL for seven years Doctors always say if I don't lower my LDL level, I'will be in danger. But so far, nothing has happened.. I got a lot of relief from watching this video..
I agree Keto and intermittent fasting is beneficial; however plague in arteries takes years to cause blockage. Everyone with high LDL should get a CT Calcium Heart Scan.
I had my results today, i have high LDL, and somehow first time high triglycerides too. I train, i eat healthy fats, but still dont know how to improve my lipid profile 😢 THe doctor wants met to take statins, and i dont want to.
Thank you for thinking outside the box. I have diabetes and high blood pressure and asked my family doctor about a low carb, keto diet, and she said "no it's not healthy for you" . I have done my own research and see that it is. I just started low carb last week, and feel so much better, and will continue to make this way of eating a way of life. I know I have to make the changes to be healthy.
Dr Nadir Ali, Thank you !!! You just removed my anxiety over my increasing levels of LDL in the last two years... I wish more family practitioners and internist would know this info.. I will continue my 12-15hr fast daily and low carb mediterranean diet.. Thank you again
i started fasting and Low carb diet since a month now, starting of the month i did my lipid profile test and month end again i did and ALL the things mentioned in this presentation is coming true . my belief in fasting and low carb has just grown STRONGER. thank you Dr.nadir Ali
Am 53 y.o. and I started this lifestyle over the last year. The labs at the end of that year dictate what Dr. Ali is saying here exactly. My LDL jumped from 82 to 218, My HDL went from 39 to 62, My Triglycerides dropped from 142 to 64. The triglycerides/hdl ratio is 1.03~ Moreover, my Total Testostrone jumped from 379 to 894. Also, my liver enzyme AST function was 49 ( nearing high side of normal, I have a history of inflammed fatty liver disease, NASH fibrosis of moderate stage, via biopsie) now that function is near normal- low range at 18. Also I have lost 30 pounds, and now 6' tall and 32 pants.
Excellent presentation. This explains why my LDL level increased. I am a 50 y.o. male and have been doing keto since late October 2019. The lab at the end of last year showed my LDL jumped from 129 to 182, total cholesterol from 193 to 261, HDL increased from 55 to 65, and Triglycerides dropped from 64 to 46. No changes in glucose level (104). My doctor wanted me to visit him to discuss a treatment option. I felt a little bit concerned with my numbers but I will stay in this diet for a little longer exploring the best working plans. Now I will add more physical activities to my lifestyle.
Been keto OMAD since ending a 7 day fast beginning on Fat Tuesday this year...taking a 1 or 2 meal break on saturdays or sundays...so I hadn’t eaten a bite of food for three days earlier this week-still felt great!!! No weakness, no gnawing hunger, no constant thoughts of food...I know it’s connected to this keto diet I’m on, it has to be; I worked each of those days in a busy hospital walking constantly yet I felt great the entire time....what else can explain that?!? I’m lovin this!!!
im doin the same...eating a few days a week.... i think im going to eat a ribeye next week... i sleep so deeply and never feel depressed... i est like a lion now.... i don't hunt on a full belly
Thank you so much for this. I'm age 52 and just had my first physical in the 2 years since going keto. My lipid profile mirrors exactly what Dr. Ali shared: LDL went up, HDL went up, and triglycerides dropped by 50%. I'm off of blood pressure and GERD meds for the first time in almost 20 years and feeling great. Meanwhile, my doctor wants me to have a bunch of cardiac tests and thinks I'm going to die because my LDL is 167. If he's open minded, I'll see if I can get him to watch this video. If not, I guess it's time for me to find a new doctor.
@Serious Keto Thanks for sharing this link, I am 45 and dealing with almost the exact same situation you are, hopefully I can get my wife to watch this so she will stop getting freaked out by my doctor. My triglycerides went from over 700 to 150 in just the first couple months on keto.
I got my CAC from a Keto friendly cardiologist and it was zero. My LDL is high but my HDL Triglyceride ratio is now negative 2 and half years into Keto. Also dropped 65 lbs and never hungry. I'm 58 yrs old and asthma got better too. Thanks for all the chaffle videos. Your daughter is precious!
How did you get off your Gerd meds, and don't you struggle with reflux now/ The info in this video is contradictory to everything most mainstream med establishments preach, but in my opinion they don't know nearly as much as they pretend or believe they do. The human body and system are far too complex for humans to understand completely
@@Reincarnation111 I also suffer with GERD if I do not stick to keto. The last time I fell off the keto cart, I fell HARD. I began having severe chest pain that radiated up into my jaw and down my arms. Still waiting to see my cardiologist, but I’m pretty confident that it isn’t a heart issue as I had a similar experience before starting keto. I have learned that grains, starches, egg whites, and sugar are triggers. It may take some time to see improvement when switching to keto, but in my experience, it will happen. I have found that I also need to restrict consumption of wheat flour substitutes, but it may be that the egg I use in keto friendly recipes is more of a problem than the coconut or almond flour. However I’ve noticed that these “flours” slow digestion, allowing stomach acids more opportunity to irritate the esophageal sphincter. Less of a problem if eaten on an empty stomach and in moderation.
Thank you Dr Nadir. I was on Ketogenic Diet for the last 6 months, this month when I had my Lipid profile, exactly same happened & traditional Dr confused me by horrifying me that my LDL is too high & it is dangerous for me. Now after your lecture I am much satisfied and confident as my body is sending me all positive signals.
I’m 28 and I work out all the time. Do not drink and do not smoke. I will eat JUNK food here & there like anyone else. But he said it was 213 LDL. Scared shitless now
If evolution is the reason why are we seeking the truth? Just make the most money by saying the some test was done on 60000 patients! If they haven't discovered God how can they understand fully the earthly knowledge.
This was an amazing video! I have no problems having cholesterol over 250 and now know my chances of cancer and heart disease are lower than average. I do eat like you describe in your video. I'm passing this video on!
Michelle Sala my cholestol when up on my last ck up and I thought I had to worry and begin to reduce it it just means the lchf and intermittent fasting works😀
Even your LDL was in the normal range? Not that high LDL would be a worry on LCHF but just interesting if yours wasn't high by the standard diet metrics.
I’m a 57-year-old female who hasn’t been to a doctor in 19 years until now. I do 16-hour IF and eat healthy (grass-fed meat, free-range eggs, good fats, & veges). I had my first bloodwork done and got a frantic call from my doctor & he wanted to put me on statin (he said "you can literally get a heart attack!"). I told him I’ll “fix” it myself in 3 months. These were my results: total cholesterol 335; triglycerides 51; HDL 104; VLDL 10; LDL 221; A1c 5.4; glucose 83; urinalysis for glucose was negative. I've been concerned about my high LDL and started researching online... this is comforting. Thank you!
Same thing happened to me. Been eating this way for less than a year. IF since maybe September, Just got my numbers today and am freaking out. Lost a lot of weight and feel great but total cholesterol is 334. How are you going to fix it? No statins for me either.
I'm 58, lost 30 pounds on a keto diet and effortlessly kept it off for 2 years now. Just had mine tested and they are similar - HDL 120, LDL 240, low triglycerides, low blood pressure, good waist to height ratio, etc. My naturopathic doctor told me to add 1/4 cup flax meal per day, add 1/2 cup beans 2X/week (lupini beans are lowest carb) I have not yet added 1/2 cup oat groats daily, I'm hesistant on that. Follow a "keto mediterranean" diet (search keto-med). Lower consumption of butter, red meat and MCT oil. I'll be re-tested in 5 months. If nothing changes, I'm saying F- it! I've never felt better, more physical and mental energy, and back to pre-menopausal figure.
@@gardenmom6180 Ditto, I bought Flax seed today and have been raising my carbs recently. Actually have been looking into Mediterranean diet. I've lost 55 lbs. since January so pretty happy with keto/i.f. Was going to eat oats this morning but decided to keep on 16 - 8 hr. fast. Have been eating more fruits, vegetables, so definitely going to search for keto/med. Just like everyone else here my Doctor put me on a statin , also b.p. is high which they say in genetic. Very frustrating when you lose over 50 lbs. and Dock wants to med.(pun intended) you up. thanks
Excellent confirmation of all I’ve been reading and watching. You are a great presenter and I truly thank you for making everything so clear. I was concerned my keto diet would raise my cholesterol, now I am really at ease and will continue keto and fastng. I am already off my Novolog insulin and using only 1/3 of the previous Lantus doses. Thanks to all who are making us aware of the cholesterol scam.
I've been intermittent fasting for 5 months now (mostly 16/8) and got today my first blood test results and is the reason I'm here. I had exactly the results this presentation told. Perfect results on all but LDL. But now I know why and I'm not going to worry about it. My blood results now in 2020 are better than what I had in 2003.
Outstanding, when i was 72 years old i would stop to catch my wind and couldn't do much, felt awful all the time. So i changed how a ate and this video fits me. Now at 74 i an 60 lbs less and walk or ride my electric unicycle all over the place. Way different life now.
I’m 70, overweight, struggle with walking my dog, back pain, gut troubles and so on. Thank you for your comments. You have given me hope. I’m really going for it now.
I am 45 y/o and about six months ago I began having some shortness of breath, mostly when going to bed. Could not sleep well without taking several deep breaths. But since going keto almost a month now, my breathing issues are almost gone. So happy to hear of your life and living active! Congratulations...
Vary good opening. I am a Veterans hospital patient and just last friday they were giving instruction in personal health in this area. I'm low carb and feel so much better then two years ago.
Thank you so much for this. my doctor is still sticking to old ideals about ldl. mines is high since starting keto (jan 2019). I have was 370lbs and now im 210lbs and still working towards my goal weight. this is the only thing that has helped me ive tried 1200-1800 calorie diets, vegan, eve raw diets and exercise and I finally found keto and Im forever grateful for it. My insulin resistance is better, pcos symptoms better, i ever have a cycle and ovulate EVERY month, which is amazing as i married in 2017 and couldn't even ovulate. mt seborrheic dermatitis is gone!!!!!! i dealt with the flakes and itching since puberty. my chin hairs reduced etc etc etc i can go on. I have completely changed everything that i was taught about diet and nutrition and how it affects my health. Thank you again for uploading this lecture!
I just came across this video & will download it to study further. This is MY answer to the mystery of what my blood tests show at 81 years of age. Although the medical practitioner I consulted remarked that I am fitter than 40 year olds he usually sees, he thinks my LDL is a bit high even though my TGS are low. My diet for a long time has been pretty much what is shown here. Thank you for making this information clear for all to share. Coming from a professional with medical experience give this more credence.
Was keto, slid into Carnivore to resolve autoimmune disorder. all pain & brain fog gone; secondary iritis, psoriasis, toe fungus etc still resists. Drinking wine glass of Thyme decoction.
I like how he points out the importance of cholesterol/ketones for the brain. Studies have actually shown that LOW cholesterol is associated with cognitive decline.
No evidence for that. The worlds longest lived people do not have high cholesterol. Look up some of the prospective studies on French, Japan and Italian 90+ and centenarians.
Took the words out of my mouth TB. Cohort studies are not proof of anything. They only point to the need for randomized, control studies, which eliminate confounding factors, and prove or disprove that an association is also a causative factor. That said, even the studies that you point to, are probably, also, just observational. Just because a population's cholesterol is low (on average), doesn't mean that they are living longer because of that.
@@TB1M1 Exactly. These insane meat keto people will say or believe anything to justify their shit diet and behavior. I am still in awe of the shit that report to be true.
Thank you for sharing this. My husband and I have been on Keto diet for almost a year and we motivated my mother, brother and a handful of friends to start Keto about 6 months ago. My 76 y.o. mother is getting ready for her annual check up/ lab work. I do think her physician will be too happy about her being on Keto even though she has lost weight and feels great. I'm sure he will be upset that she stopped her statin drug (only med she was on....even though her blood work was high normal). I'm going to share this video with her and others. I'm sure we will be looking for another physician for her.
Thank you Dr. Ali for your clear, succinct explanation for LDL cholesterol going up on (Keto) low carb diet. I just got my latest blood work back last week and though I knew that my total cholesterol & LDL would go up, my doctor would be concerned since he has not suggested I go back on a statin(Atorvastatin). I see him the end of May, I felt like I would have to justify the higher readings. My total cholesterol is up from 171 mg/dL (1/27/18) to 256 mg/dL (5/7/19) LDL chol calculated 187 mg/dL. HDL 47 mg/dl (1/27/18) to 48 mg/dl (5/7/19), and the best for last - Triglycerides 173 mg/dl (1/27/18) to 106 mg/dl (5/7/19) being on Keto diet from January 10 - present with Intermittent fasting 16-24 hrs a day (Dr. Eric Berg DC). So I thank you for the excellent research & documentation. I will ask my doctor to watch your presentation before he jumps to conclusions. P.S. - My BMI went from 26.6 in January to 19.0 today and my weight from 173 pounds to 149 pounds! Yeah!!!
Did your TC/HDL ratio improve or decline? I would say that your cholesterol numbers are not good. My TC is 154 and HDL is 45. Check out the Cleveland Clinic Studies and draw your own conclusions but just realize they are based on data of thousands of people with suspected heart disease. ua-cam.com/video/vp1TjW28Kto/v-deo.html
Wow! Love this guy and I'm subscribed. Quit my statin drugs a year ago and haven't looked back. My doc was upset. He had doubled my statins and then doubled them again. For breakfast I now eat 4 slices of bacon, 3 free range eggs sunny side up, small baked russet with good fat and sour cream, some home-fermented sauerkraut and small tomato. Play tennis 3 days a week and walk 3 miles 3 other days. At 73 I weigh about the same as I did at 23, down some poundage from a year ago. Thanks to UA-cam and the Perfect Health Diet-- much the same as described in this video. My cholesterol numbers are just where you put them on your chalk-board. Thank you! Also thanks to authors of: The Big Fat Surprise; Grain Brain: No Grain, No Pain; Perfect Health Diet.
My doctor was a good friend as well...I asked him why he was prescribing a drug that is killing me? His answer was that he was referring me to a cardiologist because I just wouldn't listen to reason. I said I read the research and it speaks for itself. I fired him, went on Keto, intermittent fasting. Completely drug free, lost 20 pounds in 4 months and my BMI went from 26.6 to 19.0. I'm insisting my new doctor watch Dr. Ali's presentation with an open mind. So far he hasn't put me back on a statin and I won't start up again even if he insists. Dead doctors don't lie! So...I had a follow up on 5.31.19, the new geriatric doctor said he was pleased with the weight loss. I asked him to watch Dr. Ali's video on why cholesterol goes up on a Ketogenic diet. Basically he poopooed it saying "this was just one doctor's opinion," doctors rely on standardized, recognized, accepted research. He asked me what I wanted to do as I go forward. I told him I wanted to continue for another 4 months on the Ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, but fine tuning it by adding more exercise (weight lifting, HIIT & cardio), getting better sleep, reducing saturated fats. I'm sure that the bad cholesterol will diminish to an acceptable level. He also suspects that my high cholesterol is hereditary. Keep on trucking...🚚
Stupid ignorant doctor also want to prescribe drug for my high cholostrerol. I realized that arguing with doctors are useless as they are close minded arogrant. I am not revealing my keto Carnivore diet with my new doctor. I am thinking, I will just throw the prescription for statin to the dustbin. I am living in Germany and I am not clear what will be the best approch to deal with evil doctors.
My dr. wanted to put me on Statins. I declined & reminded him that half the people who have heart attacks have LOW cholesterol and they the Death rate among them was higher.
The bit about viruses.. incredible!! Explains why my whole family has been on a Keto diet For just about two weeks, and when all three of my children came down with a fever a few days ago, that was the only symptom they got! All three bounced back quickly, and had no further symptoms! The more I learn about this way of life (I refuse to call it a “diet” anymore!) the more I am convicted that every single person on earth should be on some variation of it! It’s a life-saving way of eating!! All I can do for now is change our family’s habits and go one day at a time!
It's amazing how sick I was for the first 30+ years of my life while on the standard American diet... Since going low carb, and more recently keto/carnivore, I just don't get sick. COVID was a non-event with a couple days of soreness and temporary loss of smell. I never even got an elevated temp from it... thank you LDL!
I've been on a Keto diet now for three months and have significantly reduced my carb intake. I've not eaten potatoes, wheat or pasta or any processed food since July (It's now early November). My main motivation was to lose some weight (lost over 23lbs) and better protect myself againt COVID-19. I have to say I have just turned 60 and have never felt better. I am sleeping better, I feel alert and simply don't have any hunger cravings. I am now doing intermittant fasting as I simply don't feel the need for more than one quality meal early evening meal. Having just had my blood test results my doctor informed me that my kidney & liver function looked normal with HDL & Triglycerides being in the normal range. I was alarmed to learn that my LDL was high, but thankfully for the above video I can take comfort that I wont need to rush out and start taking medication.
A national study has shown that nearly 75 percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had cholesterol levels that would indicate they were not at high risk for a cardiovascular event, based on current national cholesterol guidelines. The patients had low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels that met current guidelines, and close to half had LDL levels classified in guidelines as optimal (less than 100 mg/dL). This tells me that LDL is not the culprit, I believe it is inflammation. It has been well known that gum disease can effect your heart when the bacterial gets into your blood vessels and causes inflammation.
I went zero carb OMAD for a year. So basically carnivore with high fat and moderate protein. Honestly, it was my first time even getting a blood lipid panel as I adult and I was shocked. Got my lipid panel 12-26-2020 my lipid panel showed: Cholesterol - 159 mg/dL Triglycerides - 91 mg/dL HDL Cholesterol - 66 mg/dL Non-HDL Cholesterol, Calculated - 93 mg/dL Cholesterol/HDL Ratio - 2.4 I cut out all bad oils sunflower, corn, soybean, vegetable, canola, which are all inflammatory oils btw, and stopped eating sugars. Started drinking coffee black. Not braggin, but no exercise and I also lost 40 lbs. every
Animal products are high in saturated fats and an invitation to diabetes and all sort of heart and kidney diseases. Good thing you have done is getting rid of oils which are equally injurious.
Yes animal fat is high in saturated fat. The same fat your body carries. Animal will not cause diabetes because it does not create insulin. And heart disease has more to do with insulin resistance, high blood sugar than consuming saturated fat.
Oh doc, please watch you back. Consider a bodyguard. I'm starting to worry about folks that buck the system. No joke. You already know the huge amounts of money in poor, institutional foods, and bad health.
I’m 42, regular body weight/BMI with no health problems. I just got blood testing which I hadn’t done in 3 years, with the last year doing IF and mostly keto diet and substantial reduction of carbs intake. Results are absolutely consistent with Dr Ali's prsentation. My total cholesterol is 201, it was 164 in 2019. My LDL is 113, it was 93. Both values flagged as high (Regular values: Cholesterol
Easy. 1) He describes purposes of LDL but none of that proves what levels are healthiest. The human body makes all the cholesterol we need and even recycles it, so the body can increase it's own LDL levels if needed without eating ANY cholesterol. 2) Then he cherry picks two studies. Leiden study only applies to very old people and they actually couldn't rule out reverse causality, so it proves nothing. 3) Lothian study was interesting and supports his thesis, but there are uncontrolled variables there, the low cholesterol group wasn't very low (TC under 150 or 140 is more where true "low" would start). But more importantly, there's LOTS of research showing the opposite of what he's saying. Lowest diabetes rates are populations that eat the most carbs--but they eat whole food carbs, not processed junk. Worldwide, the people who are fattest are those who eat the most fat, and those who are the slimmest eat the most carbs. ONLY diets to have stopped and reversed serious heart disease in multiple multi-year studies are VERY high in carbs (75-80%) and very low in fat (~10%). All the healthiest and longest lived populations got the vast majority of their calories from carbs. There are ZERO super-healthy and long-lived populations who got most their calories from animal foods or fat. Even the Hadza, a remaining hunting-gathering tribe, gets 70% of its calories from carbs--and 15% of the total calories are from honey. Other studies clearly show more and more arterial plaque with increasing LDL levels. It's fine to argue keto sets different dynamics in motion, thus changing the game, but until there are studies of 10 years and across lifespans, these docs are just asking people to go on faith. There's no long-term evidence backing the overall healthfulness of this.
I am delightfully astonished. Just got my blood test results. Liver function back to normal. A1c dropped 4 points over 2 months. LDL was high so I worried until I listened to this lecture. I’m in ketosis and doing IF. Weight is down 10 kilos. I’m still astonished and so are my doctors in Tokyo.
This is the video that started me down the food industry rabbit hole, which led to dozens of others of every type. Bottom line: everything’s a psyop. 34yo, just passed 2 years on a mostly ketogenic animal-based diet and I feel better than I did in my 20s. Thanks for the journey ❤
I have started to love this doctor. following his presentations. I am no doctor but have a fairly good understanding of what he is talking about. I am on LCHF diet and doinf fantastic
It’s interesting .... the confidence the low carb doctors have in their practices. No maybes, no nothing. They have looked at the research with truly open minds and have patients displaying remarkable turnarounds, even with themselves in many cases.
Dr Nadir Ali. What a true and honest champion. We need to share this info/link to many medical institutions and healthcare professionals as possible. It's about time they are educated about cholesterol more than ever and learn not to prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs randomly as a result of seeing one marker like a raised LDL level, which if not oxidised, is not a concern. It's a simple subfraction test they can order and act accordingly.
A brilliant and informative talk. My mother, 82 and slim, had high LDL so doc insisted that she start statins (won’t listen to me as I’m not a doctor). Now my brother, on a keto diet, has been told the same thing by another doctor
I had a CAC heart scan when I started Leto- carnivore. It was 5. I was 63 years old. Not bad. Three years later, I had another one. It was .31. Nearly perfect. My LDL has been 220-240 the whole time, yet I cleaned out my heart after.
You're CAC was excellent but I wouldn't expect much to change relative to calcification in three years. What you should be doing is getting a CT angiogram to see what your total plaque burden is. That will show you both calcified plaque and uncalcified plaque. In other words your entire plaque burden.
Wow..thanks for that doc office just called me my LDL went from 85 to 154 ..but now I realize what's really going on.suppossed to see doc in a month.i suppose it'll be higher..but im no longer in freaking STATIN HELL! thanks for the info.
This reassures me that I'm on the right track! I fast 18+ hours every day and eat only grass fed beef for two days and a carb load on the day 3 - then repeat. Been doing this for years now, went from 270 pounds morbidly obese to now 160, lean, muscular and usually less than 10% body fat. My triglycerides were 47 last dr visit, LDL was 130 and HDL 122. Yes 122 lol. Anyway the info here is amazing and thank you for teaching people what's actually healthy.
An international research team led by Dr. Daniel J. Rader at the University of Pennsylvania aimed to gain further insights into the relationship between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular disease. They examined 328 people with very high HDL-C (average of 107 mg/dl) and 398 with low HDL-C (average of 30 mg/dl). The scientists sequenced nearly a thousand genes near genetic regions previously associated with plasma lipid levels. Their work was funded in part by NIH’s National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). Results appeared on March 11, 2016 in Science. In 5 people with high HDL-C, the researchers found a genetic variant within the gene SCARB1, which codes for the major HDL receptor on liver cells, scavenger receptor class BI (SR-BI). One of the individuals had 2 mutant copies of the variant. In mice, genetic manipulations of this gene had effects opposite from those expected if HDL-C were protective. Overexpression of the gene lowered HDL-C levels but reduced atherosclerosis. Deletion raised HDL-C levels but increased atherosclerosis. Genetic analyses of well over 300,000 people confirmed that the variant, called SCARB1 P376L, was associated with elevated HDL-C levels. The researchers found that people with the variant had unusually high levels of large HDL-C particles in their blood. To see whether SCARB1 P376L was associated with heart disease, the team acquired data from nearly 50,000 people with coronary heart disease and about 88,000 controls. They found that those with the variant had a significantly higher risk of heart disease. Your high HDL doesnt matter, it may be even worse for you. You still have high LDL and thus still at risk.
i am 75, fat and in serious need of weight reduction. I have started a Kito/carnivor diet and it is working. Being prudent, I ran my blood last week and reviewed the results with my Doc. The one issue that came up was LDL. While I realized that this diet increases LDL, I knew it would not be harmful, but no one had explained LDL correctly. This presentation is a light in the dark world of "medical practice". I am amaized that so few doctors do not understand this. Supper well done!!!!
Wow, so thankful for this doctor and many others who have the courage to defy corrupt standard of care and tell the truth. I've lost 130 lbs, reversed several metabolic conditions, feel wonderful, & have saved my life bc of the truth of these courageous doctors speak
Since I went LCHF I haven't had any need to visit the doctor, only for my annual contract medical, but your right he then tells me I should start to take drugs even all my other indicators are excellent.
Thank you so much for your work . I've been fasting eating an animal based diet since 18/19 years now. It's so hard to find out a cardiologist or an MD that think differently, putting health first other than politics, pharmaceutical interests, insurance companies and such. Thank you
Super! Thank you very much for your talk. I’m a neurologist and we are forced to prescribe a Statin on everyone. It’s so refreshing to hear you say your speech. I agree, we are blinded from the top down and I feel like I’m the only one on the bottom that kind of makes sense.
Thank you! I’m sending this to my doctor who insists that my high cholesterol needs medication! I’m almost 75 and I’ve been on the keto diet for almost 2 years.
I followed doctors advice and started usin statins. After a few months I ralized my short term memory was fading rapidly. Dumped the statins and with that the fading stopped but my memory never came back to its original level!
I had issues with short term memories. Now on Keto for 2 years, I learned Spanish in a year, getting into an intermediary level. Funny thing, I learn in my dreams too.
So basically the whole vilification of LDL comes because of what LDL does when someone is essentially in a constant state of pre/full-diabetes? It's like blaming someone for just being near the crime scene!
You know, they are connected, ldl and diabetes. My husband was vegetarian for 20 years and healthy vegan for 5, he just got diagnosed pre-diabetic and with high ldl. The doctor said he's in risk of stroke. I'll put him on a low carb diet and we'll see in 3 months the results.
@@lorilee1931 ldl and diabetes are not connected. Ldl oxidized and diabetes are connected. It,s oxidized LdL that damages arteries and that oxidation can be reduced by a low carb diet. You're already on the right track there. The real test in the laboratory should be LDL oxidized or oxidized Ldl. Test your husband for that instead. There are people with high ldl and zero coronary calcium score because their oxidized ldl is very low.
Fantastic presentation and I've seen dozens of those . Splendid clarity and hits all points. All ppl I'm know will get to watch you.They do not believe in what I tell them. So they have a proof in your professional statements. Thank you so much !!!
Thank you so much Dr Nadir I have been fighting with Doctors since I turned 60 not to go on STATIN...it just seems a fashion that once you are that age you have to have STATIN I tell them No no no
You don't need to fight with doctors. You have full control on your body. You can trust the doctors or if you are undoubtedly sure you know enough to contest your doctor, you can say no thanks I prefer to avoid these drugs. It is your life, your choice. But whatever you choose, make sure you make the most educated decision. Because there is a lot of corrupted information on such topics, untill the scientific studies gets to a consensus.
Lilian Flynn Magnedium acts as a Natural statin, without attack all cholesterol. - I got this from Dr. Carolyn Dean MD, ND- 15 yrs expert on Mg, many books written. Best wishes ~
I was diagnosed Pre-Diabetic in March. I stopped carbs and sugar. I was at 6.1 in March and 5.5 A1C in July but my LDL took off. It went from 136 to 227 in four months. Also I lost 17 pounds during that time. I think I won't worry about it and see what its level is in a year. Dr started talking Statins right away.
Wow! very well presented. I was shocked at the end about "not recommending" to eat plant based diets, but I see the train of thought and the logic. It would have been nice if there was some more explanation on "Fiber prohibits protein absorption".
I do intermittent fasting and eat a lower carb diet. I had my blood work done in July and my LDL was high but my triglycerides were low and my glucose was low and my HDL was high, so I was not too worried and neither was my doctor so I am glad I saw this video and it helped to explain so much! Thank you doctor for your research and your talk!
Hey Rachelle, I did 4 months Steichen healthy keto and after that when I did my bloods my LDL was at 143, HDL 65, triglycerides 70. I’m really worried about my LDL. Is this the same experience you have had
This is exactly what I have (what he is describing). My LDL is high and my triglycerides is low + my HDL is high because I fast and I am on a low carb diet.. I am so happy that I have now a more complete explanation of my lipid profile. How I know, I do regular bloodwork ..
Most doctors are the last to see this obvious truth, I recently had this argument with my doctor who still think the food pyramid is the only healthy diet option even as her waiting room is full of its victims
This explains why my LDL jumps when I work out prior to a lipid profile test. I found out later that the best way to get "better" (I.e. lower LDL readings) is NOT to work out. But I didn't understand the connection until now.
Yes! He has a free monthly seminar in our area and he has a UA-cam channel of his own. Check out Eat Mostly Fats and Nadir Mir Ali. Thank you for watching
its the large particles that go up, that's what you want but the small particle goes way down which is what you want because its the small particles that cause all the problems
Just got the results from my blood workup today, it's exactly what is stated in this presentation. Overall my cholesterol is down and my LDL is up. This is after 48hr fast. Feel much better now.
Wow what a wonderful explanation. I just searched for high cholesterol, as my blood test showed it was increasing. Couldn’t understand it because I live totally healthy, exercise regularly etc. inter alia I went for low carb diet recently and I’m into second month of fasting with 20:4 window. Thank you immensely, now I understand why I’m getting higer cholesterol and luckily lower triglycerides and low blood sugar as well.
Amazing how we have been taught exactly the opposite. My Oncologist who put me on Keto/Intermittent fasting in Feb 2021 to drop 15 lbs (I lost 22 lbs of fat) was delighted to see my weight drop, my fat gone, and my cholesterol UP from 190 to 251. He told me: You’re doing it right! Don’t change a thing! The difference in him versus my American Schooled Primary Care MD? He was European trained and does not cater to big Pharma. So fortunate to have scored him as my Oncologist 🙏🏼.
The best test to take on keto is the NMR test. 119.00 but worth it.
@@marjn1030 What is NMR?
I miss European doctors for that mentality....
It's all about the money and the business model. U.S. healthcare is profit based. There is more profit in a sick patient buying expensive drugs than a cured one. Europe is a cost based healthcare system. Since the government pays for healthcare it is in their best interest to keep costs low. A cured healthy patient costs less money.
@@eb6195 So the "government" is supposed the grab you and FORCE you to get outta the house, get daily exercise, and quit eating that 150 lbs of sugar Americans eat per year. And on top of that prohibit you from eating white wheat flour products, and white rice products, which are essentially just sugar. Those two things have basically no food value. (Not to mention the overeating of potato products). Yet that is mostly what people are eating today
YOU are in control of what you eat. YOU are TOTALLY in control of your weight. A doctor cannot control your habits. You DONT need a doctor to remedy these things.
70% of Americans are overweight. Half of these are actually obese. AGAIN, YOU should take care of that, before you ever approach a doctor. And HE should take care of HIS OWN weight. He cannot force you to get exercise, and he cannot force you to feed yourself properly
Do you realize that almost ALL "health problems" in the US are caused by and/or aggravated by weight problems??
WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK A DOCTOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT PROBLEMS YOU HAVE WHICH ARE CAUSED PURELY BY YOUR OWN CHOICES?
So lets get away from the hilarious fallacy that doctors and governments are causing your health problems. Doctors arent even about health, they are about sickness. And they do a pretty decent job about that. But what exactly is a doctor supposed to do with you when you appear before him with all these things you caused by your behavior, and which you can remedy by a change in your behavior?
So I am saying, GIVE US A FREAKING BREAK
My LDL came back real high and my Doctor told me to get ready for a massive heart attack
i told him i am on a Ketogenic diet i have lost 110lbs never felt better ,he was laughing and told me to stop all meat and dairy and only eat veg and nuts I said no thank you
so i got the CT calcium scan and my score was 0 no heart attack here
i need a different doctor that understands how the Ketogenic diet works and it's hard to find one here in Arizona
I thought pecan and almond nuts are ok with keto ?
The point he's making is that the so called doctor wants him to get off all meat and dairy, and eat all veg and nuts...NOPE!
This information is scary, how can we trust professional doctors?
How can you get the ct calcium scan? Does your doctor needs to order it?
I think we ALL need different doctors!!!
True story, 1) I started Keto my total Cholesterol went above 300. 2) Doctor ordered 40mg statin. 3) on my own I took a calcium scan test and passed in flying colors. 4) Doctor reduced dosage to 20mg. 5) I pushed for LDL type test and found most LDL in my blood was low density. 5) Doctor reduced dosage to 5mg. 6) I bought the pills and left them in my drawer.
Burn them, less they end up in ground water
holy f how is this not the standard diagonostic procedure for doctors? If you want to know if something is working or not, do the damn test. One can argue for and against the biochemistry of lipoproteins, but you can't argue against a calcium score as physical evidence of efficacy. I'm starting to think that statin research by big pharma purposely ignored the most obvious method for testing efficacy just so they can market a product for 20 years until someone realizes LDL is irrelevant for plaq formation, cardiac events, and mortality.
Why losing time and money with "doctors", tests and various pills? 🤔
So large LDL is harmless now. Who told you that? And do you think arteriosclerosis happens within a snap of your finger? You do know that it not only happens in the coronaries and still can cause stroke, MI, PE via unstable plaques. Who is the fool here?
It seems doctora are desperate to put you on statins
Thank you for having the courage to speak out against the conventional train of thought on LDL and cholesterol.
I never bother with testing my blood. I don't have dietary paranoia. I grew up in a medical family. I know that M.D. doesn't mean "Medical Deity." My Dad was an M.D. He put his obese patients on a very low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet way back in the 1960's. .I never pay attention to cholesterol.

Doonwati Singh I’d perhaps add more protein. I believe protein adjustments can also be very useful to us who just tend to keep losing weight. Adding fruit to up carb intake to 15-20% might help too. But what’s the trade-off? What are your needs? Every person is different though because we all have slightly different lifestyles and health or body conditions. Only you can figure out what’s best for you I believe. I’m with you though, and I believe I need to up my fruits & veggies a little! It’s unfortunate that everything good is getting so darn expensive now!

If you listened to the video you would understand that there is no need to be concerned about your LDL & your body excretes excess into your bowel and then mops up bad stuff( bacteria & toxins) in the gut.
So you could say that on a keto diet high LDL is beneficial.
Here is a free rule that will save your life. Don’t listen to or buy any products that anyone is pushing that lines the pockets of big pharmaceutical companies.

there is a joke in my country:
when you feel bad, you go to the doctor, after he check you, you pay him, because a doctor have to live. you take the recipe and go to the pharmacist, pay for the pills because the pharmacist have to live. after that, you come home, take your coat off, take the bag of pills and throw them in the sink, because you have to live too.

I'm down 24.6lbs since I started keto (9 weeks ago). I've never felt more awake and alert. I stopped taking Ritalin for my ADHD. It's a life changing experience.

My bipolar has been in remission (fat adaption exasperated it while on psych meds), my eating disorder is in remission as well. Anxiety was not helped with a keto diet but after believing and being told medication was the only thing to help my bipolar disorder and I HAD psychosis intermittently as well as 3 psychiatrists diagnose bipolar it is unbelieveable to me where I am now. My bipolar mood changes were always influenced by extreme stress and that isnt happening now. I would say my anxiety is worse than when I was on medication and it was already to the point that I am disabled so I am unsure how to move forward. The meds that helped some with anxiety made keto impossible due to the bipolar. Living with the anxiety has been unresolved through copious amounts of therapy and only seems to disappear up to 48 hours with an ativan which i dont want to take. My current plan is to utilize yoga/breathing exercise as it does help but it doesnt stop me from visiting the hospital constantly.
Fyi before keto I was on tons of psych meds (cipralex, wellbutrin, topamax, clonazepam, seroquel), was diagnosed with t2 diabetes an a1c of 9 are skip the dishes/fast food every meal or the day, my hdl was .86, ldl 3.01, trigs 1.44. Only my hdl was out of range (low), 9 months later eating keto without many processed foods my hdl is 1.21 ldl 4.67 and trigs 1.03. I was eating far more sat fat and very unhealthy previously at 3000 to 3500 calories a day yet my ldl went up 50% when I lost 75lbs. How could it possibly be saturated fat doing this? My dietician is equally perplexed and this has led her to start investigating.

I didn’t have a family practitioner for 15 years because the last one I had wanted to put me on statin drugs because of my dad’s cardiac history. When I refused, he threatened to drop me as a patient and I told him not to bother as I would not be back. My total cholesterol at the time was 180 and my ratios were all in the lower to middle range of what is considered normal. My dad fought high cholesterol and cardiac issues is whole life trying to stay on their recommended diet.. oatmeal, no eggs, no red meat. In his later years he said to hell with it and started eating the foods he liked again.

He was agreeing with me on my doubts about the meat, eggs, fats '''official'' guidelines, so he confirmed that there is no real evidence in regards to those being bad. The simple reason, is that he studied also statistics. That's what other doctors are missing. So when you check a statement, and the research backing it, if (for example) you see it's an epidemiological study, you know it's not a valid argument. But if you haven't studied statistics, then you take the statement at face value.
I just got my blood work read by my doctor. I've lost 50lbs on keto, but my cholesterol levels were high. I got worried. Now, after seeing the science behind this, I feel much better. My doctor said he wasn't worried. Took me off my blood pressure medication. Thank you!
keep your eyes on the Total cholesterol/HDL ratio. As long as it is under 5.1, I wouldn't lose sleep over the high LDL number. I started my keto last year my ratio has gone down from 5.0 to 4.0. Healthy and happy as a clam.
What is high “cholesterol “ for you Mine = Cal LDL 213. Cholesterol 302 ?
Sounds like mine I’m off BP tabs too ldl was slightly high now when I stopped meats and very limited my Hal good ldl too I eat a lot of fish I fast 21 hrs a day keeping a eating window of only three hours

Eye-opening, myth-busting, clear, and concise. Thankyou Dr Ali for this great public service 👏🏻
I've been on the ketogenic diet for more than 7 years. I have very low triglycerides, low insulin, high LDL for seven years Doctors always say if I don't lower my LDL level, I'will be in danger. But so far, nothing has happened..
I got a lot of relief from watching this video..
It takes time. BTW, low insulin in not healthy.
I agree Keto and intermittent fasting is beneficial; however plague in arteries takes years to cause blockage. Everyone with high LDL should get a CT Calcium Heart Scan.
I had my results today, i have high LDL, and somehow first time high triglycerides too. I train, i eat healthy fats, but still dont know how to improve my lipid profile 😢 THe doctor wants met to take statins, and i dont want to.
@@YAQEEN9I think you have to do the ratio sum with HDL and TRIGLYCERIDES so dont be too despondent. Google the figures. Best wishes.
@@joeaz6466 there is a special category of LDL that causes the clog. The problem is that test takes all ldl types into consideration which is wrong
Thank you for thinking outside the box. I have diabetes and high blood pressure and asked my family doctor about a low carb, keto diet, and she said "no it's not healthy for you" . I have done my own research and see that it is. I just started low carb last week, and feel so much better, and will continue to make this way of eating a way of life. I know I have to make the changes to be healthy.
Hi, could you give us an update ?
Please it'd be helpful if you give us an update ...
Any update?
what about keto acidosis ?
any update
Awesome video! We need more research like this to stop mainstream demonizing keto due to concerns over high cholesterol.
I went Keto and lost 35 lbs. and feel and fantastic.
Dr Nadir Ali, Thank you !!!
You just removed my anxiety over my increasing levels of LDL in the last two years...
I wish more family practitioners and internist would know this info..
I will continue my 12-15hr fast daily and low carb mediterranean diet..
Thank you again
Hi dear, what was your level of LDL?
Best free education, best presentation, and most of all best useful information. Thank you Dr Nadir.
Yes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i started fasting and Low carb diet since a month now, starting of the month i did my lipid profile test and month end again i did and ALL the things mentioned in this presentation is coming true . my belief in fasting and low carb has just grown STRONGER. thank you Dr.nadir Ali
Am 53 y.o. and I started this lifestyle over the last year. The labs at the end of that year dictate what Dr. Ali is saying here exactly. My LDL jumped from 82 to 218, My HDL went from 39 to 62, My Triglycerides dropped from 142 to 64. The triglycerides/hdl ratio is 1.03~ Moreover, my Total Testostrone jumped from 379 to 894. Also, my liver enzyme AST function was 49 ( nearing high side of normal, I have a history of inflammed fatty liver disease, NASH fibrosis of moderate stage, via biopsie) now that function is near normal- low range at 18. Also I have lost 30 pounds, and now 6' tall and 32 pants.
Excellent presentation. This explains why my LDL level increased. I am a 50 y.o. male and have been doing keto since late October 2019. The lab at the end of last year showed my LDL jumped from 129 to 182, total cholesterol from 193 to 261, HDL increased from 55 to 65, and Triglycerides dropped from 64 to 46. No changes in glucose level (104). My doctor wanted me to visit him to discuss a treatment option. I felt a little bit concerned with my numbers but I will stay in this diet for a little longer exploring the best working plans. Now I will add more physical activities to my lifestyle.

No weakness, no gnawing hunger, no constant thoughts of food...I know it’s connected to this keto diet I’m on, it has to be; I worked each of those days in a busy hospital walking constantly yet I felt great the entire time....what else can explain that?!?

Thank you so much for this. I'm age 52 and just had my first physical in the 2 years since going keto. My lipid profile mirrors exactly what Dr. Ali shared: LDL went up, HDL went up, and triglycerides dropped by 50%. I'm off of blood pressure and GERD meds for the first time in almost 20 years and feeling great. Meanwhile, my doctor wants me to have a bunch of cardiac tests and thinks I'm going to die because my LDL is 167.
If he's open minded, I'll see if I can get him to watch this video. If not, I guess it's time for me to find a new doctor.
@Serious Keto Thanks for sharing this link, I am 45 and dealing with almost the exact same situation you are, hopefully I can get my wife to watch this so she will stop getting freaked out by my doctor. My triglycerides went from over 700 to 150 in just the first couple months on keto.
I got my CAC from a Keto friendly cardiologist and it was zero. My LDL is high but my HDL Triglyceride ratio is now negative 2 and half years into Keto. Also dropped 65 lbs and never hungry. I'm 58 yrs old and asthma got better too. Thanks for all the chaffle videos. Your daughter is precious!
How did you get off your Gerd meds, and don't you struggle with reflux now/ The info in this video is contradictory to everything most mainstream med establishments preach, but in my opinion they don't know nearly as much as they pretend or believe they do. The human body and system are far too complex for humans to understand completely
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@Reincarnation111 I also suffer with GERD if I do not stick to keto. The last time I fell off the keto cart, I fell HARD. I began having severe chest pain that radiated up into my jaw and down my arms. Still waiting to see my cardiologist, but I’m pretty confident that it isn’t a heart issue as I had a similar experience before starting keto.
I have learned that grains, starches, egg whites, and sugar are triggers. It may take some time to see improvement when switching to keto, but in my experience, it will happen. I have found that I also need to restrict consumption of wheat flour substitutes, but it may be that the egg I use in keto friendly recipes is more of a problem than the coconut or almond flour. However I’ve noticed that these “flours” slow digestion, allowing stomach acids more opportunity to irritate the esophageal sphincter. Less of a problem if eaten on an empty stomach and in moderation.
Thank you Dr Nadir. I was on Ketogenic Diet for the last 6 months, this month when I had my Lipid profile, exactly same happened & traditional Dr confused me by horrifying me that my LDL is too high & it is dangerous for me. Now after your lecture I am much satisfied and confident as my body is sending me all positive signals.
After 2 years now do you get better?
How are you doing now?
I’m 28 and I work out all the time. Do not drink and do not smoke. I will eat JUNK food here & there like anyone else. But he said it was 213 LDL. Scared shitless now
If evolution is the reason why are we seeking the truth? Just make the most money by saying the some test was done on 60000 patients! If they haven't discovered God how can they understand fully the earthly knowledge.
This was an amazing video! I have no problems having cholesterol over 250 and now know my chances of cancer and heart disease are lower than average. I do eat like you describe in your video. I'm passing this video on!
Michelle Sala my cholestol when up on my last ck up and I thought I had to worry and begin to reduce it it just means the lchf and intermittent fasting works😀
How you do it
I have been LCHF for over 2 years and feel great, at my annual medical all my indicators are excellent; more doctors need to start taking notice.
Even your LDL was in the normal range? Not that high LDL would be a worry on LCHF but just interesting if yours wasn't high by the standard diet metrics.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ali- He has changed my life!
I’m a 57-year-old female who hasn’t been to a doctor in 19 years until now. I do 16-hour IF and eat healthy (grass-fed meat, free-range eggs, good fats, & veges). I had my first bloodwork done and got a frantic call from my doctor & he wanted to put me on statin (he said "you can literally get a heart attack!"). I told him I’ll “fix” it myself in 3 months. These were my results: total cholesterol 335; triglycerides 51; HDL 104; VLDL 10; LDL 221; A1c 5.4; glucose 83; urinalysis for glucose was negative. I've been concerned about my high LDL and started researching online... this is comforting. Thank you!
I am 73 and have very similar numbers... Still not dead!
Same thing happened to me. Been eating this way for less than a year. IF since maybe September, Just got my numbers today and am freaking out. Lost a lot of weight and feel great but total cholesterol is 334. How are you going to fix it? No statins for me either.
Don't eat vegetables, they are bad for you with all the anti-nutrients like oxalate, phytic acid, lectins.
I'm 58, lost 30 pounds on a keto diet and effortlessly kept it off for 2 years now. Just had mine tested and they are similar - HDL 120, LDL 240, low triglycerides, low blood pressure, good waist to height ratio, etc. My naturopathic doctor told me to add 1/4 cup flax meal per day, add 1/2 cup beans 2X/week (lupini beans are lowest carb) I have not yet added 1/2 cup oat groats daily, I'm hesistant on that. Follow a "keto mediterranean" diet (search keto-med). Lower consumption of butter, red meat and MCT oil. I'll be re-tested in 5 months. If nothing changes, I'm saying F- it! I've never felt better, more physical and mental energy, and back to pre-menopausal figure.
@@gardenmom6180 Ditto, I bought Flax seed today and have been raising my carbs recently. Actually have been looking into Mediterranean diet. I've lost 55 lbs. since January so pretty happy with keto/i.f. Was going to eat oats this morning but decided to keep on 16 - 8 hr. fast. Have been eating more fruits, vegetables, so definitely going to search for keto/med. Just like everyone else here my Doctor put me on a statin , also b.p. is high which they say in genetic. Very frustrating when you lose over 50 lbs. and Dock wants to med.(pun intended) you up. thanks
Excellent confirmation of all I’ve been reading and watching. You are a great presenter and I truly thank you for making everything so clear. I was concerned my keto diet would raise my cholesterol, now I am really at ease and will continue keto and fastng. I am already off my Novolog insulin and using only 1/3 of the previous Lantus doses. Thanks to all who are making us aware of the cholesterol scam.
I've been intermittent fasting for 5 months now (mostly 16/8) and got today my first blood test results and is the reason I'm here. I had exactly the results this presentation told. Perfect results on all but LDL. But now I know why and I'm not going to worry about it. My blood results now in 2020 are better than what I had in 2003.
Outstanding, when i was 72 years old i would stop to catch my wind and couldn't do much, felt awful all the time. So i changed how a ate and this video fits me. Now at 74 i an 60 lbs less and walk or ride my electric unicycle all over the place. Way different life now.

I just came across this video & will download it to study further. This is MY answer to the mystery of what my blood tests show at 81 years of age. Although the medical practitioner I consulted remarked that I am fitter than 40 year olds he usually sees, he thinks my LDL is a bit high even though my TGS are low. My diet for a long time has been pretty much what is shown here. Thank you for making this information clear for all to share. Coming from a professional with medical experience give this more credence.

I like how he points out the importance of cholesterol/ketones for the brain. Studies have actually shown that LOW cholesterol is associated with cognitive decline.
No evidence for that. The worlds longest lived people do not have high cholesterol. Look up some of the prospective studies on French, Japan and Italian 90+ and centenarians.
Took the words out of my mouth TB. Cohort studies are not proof of anything. They only point to the need for randomized, control studies, which eliminate confounding factors, and prove or disprove that an association is also a causative factor. That said, even the studies that you point to, are probably, also, just observational. Just because a population's cholesterol is low (on average), doesn't mean that they are living longer because of that.
@@TB1M1 Exactly. These insane meat keto people will say or believe anything to justify their shit diet and behavior. I am still in awe of the shit that report to be true.

My 76 y.o. mother is getting ready for her annual check up/ lab work. I do think her physician will be too happy about her being on Keto even though she has lost weight and feels great. I'm sure he will be upset that she stopped her statin drug (only med she was on....even though her blood work was high normal). I'm going to share this video with her and others. I'm sure we will be looking for another physician for her.

Thank you Dr. Ali for your clear, succinct explanation for LDL cholesterol going up on (Keto) low carb diet. I just got my latest blood work back last week and though I knew that my total cholesterol & LDL would go up, my doctor would be concerned since he has not suggested I go back on a statin(Atorvastatin). I see him the end of May, I felt like I would have to justify the higher readings. My total cholesterol is up from 171 mg/dL (1/27/18) to 256 mg/dL (5/7/19) LDL chol calculated 187 mg/dL. HDL 47 mg/dl (1/27/18) to 48 mg/dl (5/7/19), and the best for last - Triglycerides 173 mg/dl (1/27/18) to 106 mg/dl (5/7/19) being on Keto diet from January 10 - present with Intermittent fasting 16-24 hrs a day (Dr. Eric Berg DC). So I thank you for the excellent research & documentation. I will ask my doctor to watch your presentation before he jumps to conclusions. P.S. - My BMI went from 26.6 in January to 19.0 today and my weight from 173 pounds to 149 pounds! Yeah!!!
Did your TC/HDL ratio improve or decline? I would say that your cholesterol numbers are not good. My TC is 154 and HDL is 45. Check out the Cleveland Clinic Studies and draw your own conclusions but just realize they are based on data of thousands of people with suspected heart disease. ua-cam.com/video/vp1TjW28Kto/v-deo.html

Wow! Love this guy and I'm subscribed. Quit my statin drugs a year ago and haven't looked back. My doc was upset. He had doubled my statins and then doubled them again. For breakfast I now eat 4 slices of bacon, 3 free range eggs sunny side up, small baked russet with good fat and sour cream, some home-fermented sauerkraut and small tomato.

Also thanks to authors of: The Big Fat Surprise; Grain Brain: No Grain, No Pain; Perfect Health Diet.
My doctor was a good friend as well...I asked him why he was prescribing a drug that is killing me? His answer was that he was referring me to a cardiologist because I just wouldn't listen to reason. I said I read the research and it speaks for itself. I fired him, went on Keto, intermittent fasting. Completely drug free, lost 20 pounds in 4 months and my BMI went from 26.6 to 19.0. I'm insisting my new doctor watch Dr. Ali's presentation with an open mind. So far he hasn't put me back on a statin and I won't start up again even if he insists. Dead doctors don't lie! So...I had a follow up on 5.31.19, the new geriatric doctor said he was pleased with the weight loss. I asked him to watch Dr. Ali's video on why cholesterol goes up on a Ketogenic diet. Basically he poopooed it saying "this was just one doctor's opinion," doctors rely on standardized, recognized, accepted research. He asked me what I wanted to do as I go forward. I told him I wanted to continue for another 4 months on the Ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, but fine tuning it by adding more exercise (weight lifting, HIIT & cardio), getting better sleep, reducing saturated fats. I'm sure that the bad cholesterol will diminish to an acceptable level. He also suspects that my high cholesterol is hereditary. Keep on trucking...🚚
Stupid ignorant doctor also want to prescribe drug for my high cholostrerol. I realized that arguing with doctors are useless as they are close minded arogrant. I am not revealing my keto Carnivore diet with my new doctor. I am thinking, I will just throw the prescription for statin to the dustbin. I am living in Germany and I am not clear what will be the best approch to deal with evil doctors.

The bit about viruses.. incredible!! Explains why my whole family has been on a Keto diet For just about two weeks, and when all three of my children came down with a fever a few days ago, that was the only symptom they got! All three bounced back quickly, and had no further symptoms! The more I learn about this way of life (I refuse to call it a “diet” anymore!) the more I am convicted that every single person on earth should be on some variation of it! It’s a life-saving way of eating!! All I can do for now is change our family’s habits and go one day at a time!
It's amazing how sick I was for the first 30+ years of my life while on the standard American diet... Since going low carb, and more recently keto/carnivore, I just don't get sick. COVID was a non-event with a couple days of soreness and temporary loss of smell. I never even got an elevated temp from it... thank you LDL!
I am going on keto from tomorrow! You have convinced me ! My weight is 114 Kg and i am on blood pressure and cholesterol medication and i am only 32
Did you stick with it?
I've been on a Keto diet now for three months and have significantly reduced my carb intake. I've not eaten potatoes, wheat or pasta or any processed food since July (It's now early November). My main motivation was to lose some weight (lost over 23lbs) and better protect myself againt COVID-19. I have to say I have just turned 60 and have never felt better. I am sleeping better, I feel alert and simply don't have any hunger cravings. I am now doing intermittant fasting as I simply don't feel the need for more than one quality meal early evening meal. Having just had my blood test results my doctor informed me that my kidney & liver function looked normal with HDL & Triglycerides being in the normal range. I was alarmed to learn that my LDL was high, but thankfully for the above video I can take comfort that I wont need to rush out and start taking medication.
A national study has shown that nearly 75 percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had cholesterol levels that would indicate they were not at high risk for a cardiovascular event, based on current national cholesterol guidelines. The patients had low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels that met current guidelines, and close to half had LDL levels classified in guidelines as optimal (less than 100 mg/dL). This tells me that LDL is not the culprit, I believe it is inflammation. It has been well known that gum disease can effect your heart when the bacterial gets into your blood vessels and causes inflammation.
Yes I know this study, and I agree, this says it all.
Chronic inflammation has always been the culprit
I went zero carb OMAD for a year. So basically carnivore with high fat and moderate protein. Honestly, it was my first time even getting a blood lipid panel as I adult and I was shocked. Got my lipid panel 12-26-2020 my lipid panel showed:
Cholesterol - 159 mg/dL
Triglycerides - 91 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol - 66 mg/dL
Non-HDL Cholesterol, Calculated - 93 mg/dL
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio - 2.4
I cut out all bad oils sunflower, corn, soybean, vegetable, canola, which are all inflammatory oils btw, and stopped eating sugars. Started drinking coffee black. Not braggin, but no exercise and I also lost 40 lbs. every
That’s awesome!! :)
Which oil do you use?
What oils do you use?
Animal products are high in saturated fats and an invitation to diabetes and all sort of heart and kidney diseases. Good thing you have done is getting rid of oils which are equally injurious.
Yes animal fat is high in saturated fat. The same fat your body carries. Animal will not cause diabetes because it does not create insulin. And heart disease has more to do with insulin resistance, high blood sugar than consuming saturated fat.
Oh doc, please watch you back. Consider a bodyguard. I'm starting to worry about folks that buck the system. No joke. You already know the huge amounts of money in poor, institutional foods, and bad health.
Absolutely agree!!
I and many others believe many naturopaths and good MDs have already been assassinated! We the people need to take a stand!
I agree as things are starting to swing toward low carb and the big boys are not going to accept it.
Aint it the truth!

It probably doesn’t agree with their political and religious philosophy of food. Or it could be a symptom of ESV.
Easy. 1) He describes purposes of LDL but none of that proves what levels are healthiest. The human body makes all the cholesterol we need and even recycles it, so the body can increase it's own LDL levels if needed without eating ANY cholesterol. 2) Then he cherry picks two studies. Leiden study only applies to very old people and they actually couldn't rule out reverse causality, so it proves nothing. 3) Lothian study was interesting and supports his thesis, but there are uncontrolled variables there, the low cholesterol group wasn't very low (TC under 150 or 140 is more where true "low" would start). But more importantly, there's LOTS of research showing the opposite of what he's saying. Lowest diabetes rates are populations that eat the most carbs--but they eat whole food carbs, not processed junk. Worldwide, the people who are fattest are those who eat the most fat, and those who are the slimmest eat the most carbs. ONLY diets to have stopped and reversed serious heart disease in multiple multi-year studies are VERY high in carbs (75-80%) and very low in fat (~10%). All the healthiest and longest lived populations got the vast majority of their calories from carbs. There are ZERO super-healthy and long-lived populations who got most their calories from animal foods or fat. Even the Hadza, a remaining hunting-gathering tribe, gets 70% of its calories from carbs--and 15% of the total calories are from honey.
Other studies clearly show more and more arterial plaque with increasing LDL levels. It's fine to argue keto sets different dynamics in motion, thus changing the game, but until there are studies of 10 years and across lifespans, these docs are just asking people to go on faith. There's no long-term evidence backing the overall healthfulness of this.
I am delightfully astonished. Just got my blood test results. Liver function back to normal. A1c dropped 4 points over 2 months. LDL was high so I worried until I listened to this lecture. I’m in ketosis and doing IF. Weight is down 10 kilos. I’m still astonished and so are my doctors in Tokyo.
This is the video that started me down the food industry rabbit hole, which led to dozens of others of every type. Bottom line: everything’s a psyop.
34yo, just passed 2 years on a mostly ketogenic animal-based diet and I feel better than I did in my 20s. Thanks for the journey ❤

It’s interesting .... the confidence the low carb doctors have in their practices. No maybes, no nothing. They have looked at the research with truly open minds and have patients displaying remarkable turnarounds, even with themselves in many cases.
Very true, and it's not brand new science, it's going back to what we use to eat in the 50's, 60's and early 70's.
A very fat doctor once told me Keto is not working for her.
Lam rof Plenty Of fat people claim that, but when you look at what they’re really eating, it’s not a surprise.

@@MyLongevityExperiment Yeah, and do you know what cardiovascular diseadse rates were like then?
Dr Nadir Ali. What a true and honest champion. We need to share this info/link to many medical institutions and healthcare professionals as possible. It's about time they are educated about cholesterol more than ever and learn not to prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs randomly as a result of seeing one marker like a raised LDL level, which if not oxidised, is not a concern. It's a simple subfraction test they can order and act accordingly.
A brilliant and informative talk. My mother, 82 and slim, had high LDL so doc insisted that she start statins (won’t listen to me as I’m not a doctor). Now my brother, on a keto diet, has been told the same thing by another doctor
Love this video
I had a CAC heart scan when I started Leto- carnivore. It was 5. I was 63 years old. Not bad. Three years later, I had another one. It was .31. Nearly perfect. My LDL has been 220-240 the whole time, yet I cleaned out my heart after.
That’s wonderful. Would you share what you eat in a day and what kind of supplements you take. Thank you
You're CAC was excellent but I wouldn't expect much to change relative to calcification in three years. What you should be doing is getting a CT angiogram to see what your total plaque burden is. That will show you both calcified plaque and uncalcified plaque. In other words your entire plaque burden.
Wow..thanks for that doc office just called me my LDL went from 85 to 154 ..but now I realize what's really going on.suppossed to see doc in a month.i suppose it'll be higher..but im no longer in freaking STATIN HELL! thanks for the info.
Thats awesome, great that your CAC stayed low
This reassures me that I'm on the right track! I fast 18+ hours every day and eat only grass fed beef for two days and a carb load on the day 3 - then repeat. Been doing this for years now, went from 270 pounds morbidly obese to now 160, lean, muscular and usually less than 10% body fat. My triglycerides were 47 last dr visit, LDL was 130 and HDL 122. Yes 122 lol. Anyway the info here is amazing and thank you for teaching people what's actually healthy.
An international research team led by Dr. Daniel J. Rader at the University of Pennsylvania aimed to gain further insights into the relationship between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular disease. They examined 328 people with very high HDL-C (average of 107 mg/dl) and 398 with low HDL-C (average of 30 mg/dl). The scientists sequenced nearly a thousand genes near genetic regions previously associated with plasma lipid levels. Their work was funded in part by NIH’s National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). Results appeared on March 11, 2016 in Science.
In 5 people with high HDL-C, the researchers found a genetic variant within the gene SCARB1, which codes for the major HDL receptor on liver cells, scavenger receptor class BI (SR-BI). One of the individuals had 2 mutant copies of the variant. In mice, genetic manipulations of this gene had effects opposite from those expected if HDL-C were protective. Overexpression of the gene lowered HDL-C levels but reduced atherosclerosis. Deletion raised HDL-C levels but increased atherosclerosis.
Genetic analyses of well over 300,000 people confirmed that the variant, called SCARB1 P376L, was associated with elevated HDL-C levels. The researchers found that people with the variant had unusually high levels of large HDL-C particles in their blood.
To see whether SCARB1 P376L was associated with heart disease, the team acquired data from nearly 50,000 people with coronary heart disease and about 88,000 controls. They found that those with the variant had a significantly higher risk of heart disease.
Your high HDL doesnt matter, it may be even worse for you. You still have high LDL and thus still at risk.
i am 75, fat and in serious need of weight reduction. I have started a Kito/carnivor diet and it is working. Being prudent, I ran my blood last week and reviewed the results with my Doc. The one issue that came up was LDL. While I realized that this diet increases LDL, I knew it would not be harmful, but no one had explained LDL correctly. This presentation is a light in the dark world of "medical practice". I am amaized that so few doctors do not understand this. Supper well done!!!!
Wow, so thankful for this doctor and many others who have the courage to defy corrupt standard of care and tell the truth. I've lost 130 lbs, reversed several metabolic conditions, feel wonderful, & have saved my life bc of the truth of these courageous doctors speak
Thank you Dr Nadir. Fabulous information which is truly appreciated.
now if only I can get my doctor to watch this ;)
I am not your doctor, but as a doctor I totally agree.
he would say it's not true...as mine :D
Since I went LCHF I haven't had any need to visit the doctor, only for my annual contract medical, but your right he then tells me I should start to take drugs even all my other indicators are excellent.
I'm going to insist that mine take the 18 minutes from my visit to watch it...
@@zambrocca and your parents believe them and start arguing with u
Thank you so much for your work . I've been fasting eating an animal based diet since 18/19 years now. It's so hard to find out a cardiologist or an MD that think differently, putting health first other than politics, pharmaceutical interests, insurance companies and such. Thank you
Dr. Ali is amazing with a sense of humor and very casual!! First time listening to him, but will not be my last!
Super! Thank you very much for your talk. I’m a neurologist and we are forced to prescribe a Statin on everyone. It’s so refreshing to hear you say your speech. I agree, we are blinded from the top down and I feel like I’m the only one on the bottom that kind of makes sense.
Excellent presentation! Short and strait to the point!
Thank you! I’m sending this to my doctor who insists that my high cholesterol needs medication! I’m almost 75 and I’ve been on the keto diet for almost 2 years.
My grandmother was talked into a statin at 80 and it was all downhill from there physically and mentally. Stay strong and informed.
Beautifully said.
"Scientists no longer monopolize knowledge"
Because the ones who earn the most are extremely corrupt...what hope is there in formal science when they are all crooks?
@@youtuberin1236 The ones that earn the most are the ones scamming you with keto diets and supplement pills.
You don't need a college degree to be a scientist. Insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge is enough.
Dr Nadir Ali , I cant thank you enough for setting the records straight 👍👍
I followed doctors advice and started usin statins. After a few months I ralized my short term memory was fading rapidly. Dumped the statins and with that the fading stopped but my memory never came back to its original level!
I had issues with short term memories. Now on Keto for 2 years, I learned Spanish in a year, getting into an intermediary level. Funny thing, I learn in my dreams too.
Tellustanian statins are unnatural !! Fortunately magnesium is a natural statin- without attacking all of the cholesterol!
Similar happened to SPACE DOC... He has a website with much information about this.
Any improvement?
So basically the whole vilification of LDL comes because of what LDL does when someone is essentially in a constant state of pre/full-diabetes? It's like blaming someone for just being near the crime scene!
lol.....
You know, they are connected, ldl and diabetes. My husband was vegetarian for 20 years and healthy vegan for 5, he just got diagnosed pre-diabetic and with high ldl. The doctor said he's in risk of stroke. I'll put him on a low carb diet and we'll see in 3 months the results.
right! Or blaming the fire brigade for a fire because they're always there when a house burns
@@lorilee1931 ldl and diabetes are not connected.
Ldl oxidized and diabetes are connected.
It,s oxidized LdL that damages arteries and that oxidation can be reduced by a low carb diet. You're already on the right track there.
The real test in the laboratory should be LDL oxidized or oxidized Ldl.
Test your husband for that instead.
There are people with high ldl and zero coronary calcium score because their oxidized ldl is very low.
Nice analogy!
Fantastic presentation and I've seen dozens of those .
Splendid clarity and hits all points.
All ppl I'm know will get to watch you.They do not believe in what I tell them.
So they have a proof in your professional statements.
Thank you so much !!!
Thank you so much Dr Nadir
I have been fighting with Doctors since I turned 60 not to go on STATIN...it just seems a fashion that once you are that age you have to have STATIN I tell them No no no
You don't need to fight with doctors. You have full control on your body. You can trust the doctors or if you are undoubtedly sure you know enough to contest your doctor, you can say no thanks I prefer to avoid these drugs. It is your life, your choice. But whatever you choose, make sure you make the most educated decision. Because there is a lot of corrupted information on such topics, untill the scientific studies gets to a consensus.
Lilian Flynn Magnedium acts as a Natural statin, without attack all cholesterol.
- I got this from Dr. Carolyn Dean MD, ND- 15 yrs expert on Mg, many books written. Best wishes ~
@@aguven Tell that to the babies and children who get vaccinated
This is the best explanation of cholesterol I have heard. Thank you, Dr. Ali!
Agreed!
I was diagnosed Pre-Diabetic in March. I stopped carbs and sugar. I was at 6.1 in March and 5.5 A1C in July but my LDL took off. It went from 136 to 227 in four months. Also I lost 17 pounds during that time. I think I won't worry about it and see what its level is in a year. Dr started talking Statins right away.
Wow, this is fascinating science- thank you so much for the presentation
Wow! very well presented. I was shocked at the end about "not recommending" to eat plant based diets, but I see the train of thought and the logic. It would have been nice if there was some more explanation on "Fiber prohibits protein absorption".
I do intermittent fasting and eat a lower carb diet. I had my blood work done in July and my LDL was high but my triglycerides were low and my glucose was low and my HDL was high, so I was not too worried and neither was my doctor so I am glad I saw this video and it helped to explain so much! Thank you doctor for your research and your talk!
Exact same situation..
Hey Rachelle, I did 4 months Steichen healthy keto and after that when I did my bloods my LDL was at 143, HDL 65, triglycerides 70. I’m really worried about my LDL. Is this the same experience you have had
@@menash88 TG and HDL is all you should worry about on that diet, and yours are great!
This is exactly what I have (what he is describing). My LDL is high and my triglycerides is low + my HDL is high because I fast and I am on a low carb diet.. I am so happy that I have now a more complete explanation of my lipid profile. How I know, I do regular bloodwork ..
Most doctors are the last to see this obvious truth, I recently had this argument with my doctor who still think the food pyramid is the only healthy diet option even as her waiting room is full of its victims
My goodness! That was WONDERFUL!!! More, more, more, Dr. Nadir Ali! I need to find you on twitter!
This explains why my LDL jumps when I work out prior to a lipid profile test. I found out later that the best way to get "better" (I.e. lower LDL readings) is NOT to work out. But I didn't understand the connection until now.
thats interesting, do you have any info on that online or just from your results? I wanna look into for myself
In my case, LDL was perfect after a hard swim 2h before the test. But next month it was sky high after a 15h fast and no exercise......???
Good talk. I would not take a statin myself.
My LDL was quite high and I freaked out. I fast most of the day and only eat one balanced meal and stay active. This makes me feel better.
That first slide is so true. Some doctors haven't figured it out though.
What a great presenter ! I wonder if Dr Ali teaches ? I suspect he (is/would be) an effective educator.
Yes! He has a free monthly seminar in our area and he has a UA-cam channel of his own. Check out Eat Mostly Fats and Nadir Mir Ali. Thank you for watching
Eat Mostly Fats Nutrition Thank You!
its the large particles that go up, that's what you want but the small particle goes way down which is what you want because its the small particles that cause all the problems
Amazing presentation about LDL.
Just got the results from my blood workup today, it's exactly what is stated in this presentation. Overall my cholesterol is down and my LDL is up. This is after 48hr fast. Feel much better now.
Wow what a wonderful explanation. I just searched for high cholesterol, as my blood test showed it was increasing. Couldn’t understand it because I live totally healthy, exercise regularly etc. inter alia I went for low carb diet recently and I’m into second month of fasting with 20:4 window.
Thank you immensely, now I understand why I’m getting higer cholesterol and luckily lower triglycerides and low blood sugar as well.
