Here's a staggering statistic: According to the CDC around 655,000 Americans die of heart disease EVERY YEAR - and it’s been that way for the last 80 years.
But my guest says the scariest part is this:
Most of the common "fixes" out there, like maintaining low cholesterol levels and taking preventative medicine may NOT be helping... In fact, he believes these recommendations are often doing more harm than good. And if you've read my work, you know - my guest and I are on the same page.
I'm joined by Jonny Bowden, aka the "nutrition myth buster," and he’s a board-certified nutritionist and expert on diet and weight loss. He recently re-launched his bestselling book, The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won’t Prevent Heart Disease - And The Statin-Free Plan That Will. On this episode, Jonny and I reveal the TRUTH about cholesterol, expose the REAL villain when it comes to heart disease, and share what you can do TODAY to optimize your health and support a healthy heart.
On this episode you’ll learn:
Why standard cholesterol tests can have almost ZERO indication on your health - and the much more accurate test you should ask your doctor about (this could save a life!) (2:00)
The cholesterol LIE most people have believed for years - and what you NEED to know about cholesterol and your health (4:30)
The surprising truth about statin drugs - and the heart health plan I try first with most patients (ask your doctor if it might work for you) (9:00)
The #1 driver of heart disease (and almost ALL other serious illness) - and how avoiding it may help you live a longer, healthier life (17:00)
Why the term “pre-diabetes” is total nonsense - and what this diagnosis really reveals about your health (22:00)
What insulin resistance really means, how it happens in the body, and the first step to supporting HEALTHY insulin levels(28:00)
Why finding health goes beyond a better diet and more exercise - and how THIS could matter just as much (30:00)
Why I LOVE this lesser-known cooking oil, how I use it, and the best place to find it(43:00)

I was on cholesterol medication and it gave me chest pains in my heart everyday I started drinking apple cider vinegar with turmeric every morning about an ounce and a half and drinking 2 oz of extra virgin olive oil a half of the line a half of a teaspoon of Himalayan salt my cholesterol levels are normal I am no longer a diabetic and all of my joint pain is gone no more chest pain and I stopped taking medications for cholesterol
I am almost 58, a little overweight, have family related risk factors for heart disease and high cholesterol, but do not have those same risk factors in my day to day life. I eat healthy, don’t smoke, rarely have any alcohol, etc. My cholesterol has varied between 200-248 for years. My doctor has encouraged statins for years and I refused. He finally sent me for a scan 2 years ago. My arteries were absolutely clean, a score of 0%! He brought up the higher cholesterol number at my last appointment and told me he would like me to have another scan at the next appointment. I may do it just to prove him wrong 😉.
Thats interesting I am a 57 year old male and had a 'suspected' heart attack about 6 months ago, turns out i have two partially and one critically blocked arteries,I dont have elevated cholesterol levels in fact my LDL is below the target figure, I have never smoked a single cigarette, never done drugs, don't drink to excess, i'm athletic and trained regularly, I'm 6ft tall and weigh 85 kg, so why the blocked arteries ? There is SOME heart disease in my family tree but my parapets and siblings dot have any, i have been on blood pressure tablets for approx 10 years, the only thing i can attribute it to is i love red meat and have eaten plenty.. any suggestions what i can do to reverse or alleviate this ?? Thanks
They all ignore insuline.... Sigh ..
Same here yet several heart attacks and stents...
Im a little younger than you .I have around 300 chol. for most of my adult life. My family pusher has been trying to life-sentence me to lipitor for decades. Last year I had an array of scans, all clear. Its all about cardio and diet. Statins ki ll
Big pharma companies through bribes to doctors or through health authorities (private or public) had for many years being pushing the use of statins as a money cow. It is estimated that statins has bagged the companies almost a trillion dollars on sales. The war on saturated fats was also backed by the sugar industry with all the devastating consequences to our health that we see today. The COVID vaccines who are unsafe and totally unnecessary to the majority of the population have been pushing by the same bad actors through their control of the FDA and the CDC.
What a great podcast! I saw Johnny on another podcast and it was really great too! Cholesterol is a really big conundrum for us. It took me a long time to understand what is insulin resistance. After going on my Plant Paradox journey and reading many books and taking my labs, I now understand what is insulin resistance and what causes it. But, I am obsessed about health and wellness since June of 2018 when I was prediabetic with an A1C of 6.4. It's hard to explain to my family and friends what it is. I have family members who are obese and who also have recently had a kidney and spleen removed due to sudden kidney cancer. It was an emergency surgery! It boils down to eating Plants and not eating processed foods and refined carbohydrates and sugars. I am 3 years and 3 months on my Plant Paradox journey and truthfully, it's more than The Plant Paradox journey. I appreciate all of your podcasts! I consider myself educated now and that I am a student for the rest of my life! Unfortunately, our conventional medical industry doesn't teach this. Our very doctors don't understand diet. They understand prescriptions. And, I have to prove to them that I don't need prescriptions. This is real work like I am swimming against the current. But, I have to keep swimming because I want to "Die Young At A Ripe Old Age"!
High fat, low or very low carb......miracles happen...!!! Great video.
Dear Dr. Gundry,
My doctor has been trying to get me on stations for years. I keep refusing.
Thank you for this inspiring podcast. I appreciate the encouragement to pick up where I am and try... yet again... to improve my health.
God bless you for "looking out for me and others like me ". 😊
This was definitely an eye opener. I love when Dr's get straight to the point and tell the truth. My life changes right now. Thank you Dr. Gundry, your shows are so information packed. Thank you Dr. Gundry's guest.
Very interesting . If I had known about high fat diet and statins 18 years ago my husband might still be here ,I kept him on a low fat diet ,he was also on a statin !!! 👍🇬🇧
Low fat, high carb diet would have had his system awash with insulin only making his heart disease worse.
Ya statins are slow poisons they literally increases risk of getting diabetes and also it stops cholesterol which inturn will affect our hormones (steroids like cortisol, testosterone, estrogen) i.e. they reduce them because cholesterol is needed for their production and you will be surprised that statin is the main cause of impotency and erectile dysfunction and other sex related disease so please be away from statins as well as eat healthy food and don't give a shit to cholesterol it is strictly managed by our liver(I hope you don't have fatty liver).
I guess I'm screwed, I hate being around other people.
Nicely produced. Great that you answer viewer questions.
What if the pail was filled with organic carbohydrates. I believe levels of insulin would be lower in my humble opinion. Everyone was slim in the 60' and 70' before processed food took over. Enjoyed listening to the two of you..
People were walking / moving more in the past. I think we need to walk more.
Thanks Dr Gundry please keep up the great work that you're doing 👍👍
Outdated tools,strategies and plans are today's world problem in almost every field, not only in medical practices😎
look up alopathic paradigm...
LOVE all you bring Dr Gundry. 🙏 Would you ever consider doing a podcast on Lipoprotein little a (a). I have that issue and found it ONLY thru my Naturopath. Been working with holistically. But would LOVE to hear more from you. Thank you again! 🙏🌟💕
Thank you so much! I was just looking for info because I just had my blood work done. It was 238. I will now ask her on my next appointment if I can have copy of paper so I can better understand. I feel alot better listening to this today. I do fast with the 6 hour window daily, I also eat healthy fats, I do need to do more exercise 😅, but I am active, not completely inactive. Take care thank you!
I love all these horror stories. Dr. Gundry's diet works 100%.
I'm not even half way thru and this information is fantastic.
Great conversation! 👍
I agree with all being said though I am not a doctor. I was recently discovered through a checkup with my doctor that my A1c was 7, blood pressure high, cholesterol very high. So I have been reading up on all of these. I agreed to take meds for bp but so far I am on my 5th try and all of them make me feel awlful. I am determined to change this with diet.
This guest is beaming man.. Beaming with passion & sincerity.. TQ
Have so enjoyed this program thank you so much!
Great job guys! Thank you💕🤗
Dr. Gundry is fine as wine, I love his style..those glasses are everything...
Amazing episode, love your sense of humor, dr G 🙏🏻💖🌹
Thank you for empowering us through education.
Thank you for this excellent conversation.
Dr. Jonny Bowden is brilliant!!
Love the guests enthusiasm
I agree. He kept me engaged and was so knowledgeable!
1 point - Patients fire doctors not the other way around. Patients pay for their services directly or via insurance so they are the one's doing the firing.
How did they go through all this about NMR lipid profiles and insulin resistance and never mention LPIR score!?!?
What a great interview! I loved this man's energy and what he had to say. I did know that insulin resistance is the key to so many diseases. I remember a doctor once saying that if you wanted to learn all about the medications in the world become a diabetic.
Hi, Dr. Gundry. I want to know if moringa is a super food. Is it lectin free or not?
Super interesting. Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed this valuable podcast. I even took notes 🤓 Thank you!
What book do you have out that can help me with what to eat with heart problems and what not to do? Thank you
Another Great presentation👍👍
YOU DROP THE MIC ON THIS ONE.... AGAIN!!♥️🙌👏🥳🌟🤜🤛👊🤴🥰🤩
I couldn't understand the name of the oil that Dr. Gundry recommended at 43;00 hrs. Could some one pls help?
Love the way Jonny wraps the stories around his descriptions. Wonderful. In the blue zones I don’t think they have air pollution either. Their water is probably good too
Thank you so much for this fascinating conversation!
Excellent presentation Dr...
Excellent!! 👏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic information! Thanks so much
What about small density lipoprotein vs the fluffy stuff?
Wonderful info thank ypu
Dear Dr. Gundry, this podcast hit the bulls eye with me!! Will following the Plant Paradox diet help actually reverse and clear plaque from arteries and help avoid potential future bypass surgery? Thank you for everything you do! Yannis
profound wisdom
@#Dr.Gundry My favorite random excerpt from this was when Jonny Bowden said, regarding a high percentage of active centenarians living a healthy robust lifestyle, "They're marching goats up the hill in Sardinia. They're doing stuff". Beyond that, Dr. Gundry, could you share any names of medical doctors, particularly cardiologists in Tucson AZ who are more in tune with your way of thinking re insulin resistance, diabetes, cardiology etc. If you can, great. If not, I still appreciate your knowledge.
I believe everything that is being discussed, but it is so hard to find a doctor that also believes. I am following the PP diet, and now on a statin, as my cholesterol wouldn't come down. How do I go about finding a medical professional (in Australia) with a modern viewpoint?
The best thing is cleansing your liver , lemon and water in morning and before you sleep plus dandelion or milk thistle plus alpha lipoic acid . Of course to stop sugars 🌈❤️☀️
Hi Stephen,
I have been following the PP program for 3 years and 3 months. My cholesterol was high and I too was on a statin. I stopped taking the statin 2 1/2 years ago because I wanted to see how my diet is effecting my cholesterol. This is not an easy thing for us to understand. I just did my last labs two weeks ago and my cholesterol dropped to a Total cholesterol of 159 and LDL cholesterol of 89. My triglycerides dropped to 62 and my HDL rose to 56. In order to achieve these numbers, I did the following: I stopped egg consumption. I stopped eating any foods that I think raises triglycerides. I limited my meat protein to wild caught salmon, twice to three times per week. I added beans to my meals when I don't eat meat. I stopped snacking. I started drinking greens smoothies. The smoothies was the game changer! It took away the cravings to snack. Plus, the greens smoothies grew some new gut bacteria because I eat a lot of salad now. Maybe these ideas might help you too!
Why do you care to have a doctor who agrees with you??? Since 2005 my doctors have recommended statins. I have never done it. I had a physical last spring and my new doctor was so thrilled with my physical condition he begged me to let him be my doctor. When his nurse called with my blood test results, and told me to come in and get a statin prescription, I didnt even respond. I decide about me, my doctor isnt some sort of god.
MY LDL is 188 my HDL 76, my triglycerides 43. I am 70, in better physical condition than the average 20 yr old. 5-11, 154 lbs. Ripped. Make it a point to sweat and breath hard every day by taking long hikes.
I am likely a "lean mass super responder", look up.
I think triglycerides are more of an indicator of problems. The LDL is likely the "good" LDL rather than the "bad" LDL.
I find it hilarious that they think LDL, which is an important part of every eukaryote on earth, is "bad". It is in every cell of every life on earth. DAMAGED LDL is bad, and it is damaged by bad eating and no exercise
Dr G, Love your glasses!! How many different pairs do you have?
This is a great video
Thank you very much
Dr Gundry, What do you think about the med Fenofibrate?
Wow that's change every thing
Any discussion about heart disease without discussing oxidized LDL and the cause of oxidized LDL, namely linoleic acid is an epic FAIL. Oxidized linoleic acid in the LPL molecule is the cause of vascular disease. Gundry does not get that and neither does his guest. Start by searching for Tucker Goodrich on the internet and UA-cam to learn about this important topic. Their discussion on statins was pretty good. I wouldn’t rely on my doctor regarding statins.
How about the HDL/triglyceride ratio being one of the best indicators of metabolic health and cardiovascular disease risk?
We can't ignore two others bio markers. All modern physicians agree on that:
Low fasting insuline, ideally 5 ui
No chronic inflammation (marker CRP-protein).
It's pretty much number one. If those numbers are good, it's nearly guaranteed that everything else is good ( LDL-small, Oxidized LDL, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc)
For the last five years, I constantly checked my triglyceride/HDL ratio and make sure the ratio is under 1.5.
So what does he suggested to measure insulin resistance?
Is metaplasia reversable? Please answer Dr Gundry 🙏
Metaplasia of esophagus?
Finally the light switch is turned on, but will a bulb be placed in the socket.
This is an excellent podcast. The one flaw is both of these men are too polite. Jonny Bowden tells an Outrageous story of a woman client of his whose cardiologist kept insisting that her cholesterol numbers were CONCERNING. Finally he did more tests at the patient's request to PROVE HER Health. In the end the sicko cardiologist wanted to put her on Statins "just to be safe." This is malpractice. *A dr who does this is abusing this patient's good health. This is what evil looks like.* I wish Jonny Bowden had named that dr so he could have been outed for the RAT he is. Reader: THIS is exactly how traditional medicine is practiced in the USA. Be forewarned. There are BAD drs everywhere, regrettably. If this had happened to me, being advised to take statins "to be safe" I would have filed a complaint against that Dr at the State Medical Board and written a letter to my local newspaper of my experience hoping they would publish it. Thanks Dr Gundry for educating us. The number of drs I trust could fill a thimble.
where can we get that test?
Are microgreens ok to eat ? Must we only eat those microgreens that are on the YES list. After all, we would not be eating the fruit or veggie or the microgreens. Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
What were the chickens mentioned?? Mark's something??? Anyone ?? ThankU!!
Some one can tell me the name of the oil he was taking about please
My LDL is 316 2. It's hereditary
you get a bump in insulin while eating fats too. Insulin is not only to metabolize sugars. It also tells organism to store energy as fat. If there was no insulin during fat digestion youd poop out most of the fats you ate.

Is ok to eat 2 slices of toasted Ezekiel bread per day w/ lots of evoo? I thought you said earlier at some point evoo neutralizes lectins...I NEED ezekiel bread -- that almond flour bread is kind of ok.. but it's a joke compared to EZEKIEL bread. also same ques. on real sourdough...w/o all the extra crap they add at the store brand types, I mean like natural or homemade sourdough...Thanks
I agree. I love Ezekiel. Hard to believe it’s bad for us.
Depends what the almonds were sprayed with,if treated with round up,I just wish you bon apetit!Who needs that shit inside,whats wrong with a lawn moover between those trees?And sourdough is also carbs,must keep low as pos.,nobody need carbs.,liver turns to sugar in 2 minutes,for Ezekiels sake or your own wake up!
"Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won’t Prevent Heart Disease "
That must be why atherosclerosis doesn't progress in people with LDL below 70mg/dl(often vegans), because LDL isn't a factor in heart disease 🤦♂️ Do you have any examples of reversing heart disease on any people with high cholesterol levels on ANY alternative therapies you propose?
Not a problem:
Effects of Stress Reduction on Carotid Atherosclerosis in Hypertensive African Americans
"Methods-This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the effects of the TM program on carotid IMT in hypertensive African American men and women, aged >20 years, over a 6- to 9-month period. From the initially enrolled 138 volunteers, 60 subjects completed pretest and posttest carotid IMT data. The assigned interventions were either the TM program or a health education group. By use of B-mode ultrasound, mean maximum IMT from 6 carotid segments was used to determine pretest and posttest IMT values. Regression analysis and ANCOVA were performed.
Results-Age and pretest IMT were found to be predictors of posttest IMT values and were used as covariates. The TM group showed a significant decrease of −0.098 mm (95% CI −0.198 to 0.003 mm) compared with an increase of 0.054 mm (95% CI −0.05 to 0.158 mm) in the control group (P=0.038, 2-tailed)."
"The TM group showed an adjusted mean change of −0.098 mm (95% CI −0.198 to 0.003 mm) compared with 0.05 mm (95% CI −0.05 to 0.158 mm) (P=0.038), giving a relative mean adjusted difference of −0.15 mm between groups."
" No differences between groups were found in other measures, including blood pressure, pulse, pulse pressure, lipids, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, weight, smoking (cigarettes per day), and exercise (hours per week)."
"The annual progression rate found in our comparison group is similar to that of the placebo group of the Pravastatin, Lipids, and Atherosclerosis in the Carotid Arteries (PLAC-II) study involving coronary artery disease patients. The reduction of 0.098 mm in our stress-reduction group, practicing the TM technique, is within the range of reduction shown by lipid-lowering medications and intensive lifestyle modification programs."
All that with total cholesterol of 216 and LDL of 136!
Now you know why Ornish achived what he achived...and as far as I remember fish oil supplement was as a part of Ornish protocol (not a plant based to the best of my knowledge).
Fasting
Did you listen to the podcast?
Low insuline! No chronic inflammation. Movement.
Statins are also anti-inflammatory.
Ordering
A question. Forgive me if it sounds 'smart'. It isn't intended to be. I just need to know.
Why do some of the more processed foods you recommend contain ingredients that are on your NO list? Ex. Quest Bars (recommended flavors) contain sunflower lecithin as well as some other NOs.
For this reason, I buy Simple Mills Almond Crackers which contains sunflower seeds. Though I have tried, I simply cannot make a "legal" cracker.
Please tell me this is okay. Crackers have suddenly become very important to me. 🥺😉
♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏

Good Video... Until Guest interview went into the Social Bonds BS. It is good mentally to be social/friends etc. But Physically... has no DATA STATISTICAL RELEVENCY! A person's eating/drinking habits is what kills them early.... AND more importantly, THEIR SOCIALISATION with the neighbors has no impact on their physical health. This video lost all medical credibility here.
