Thank you so much for this information!! Been ketovore for 6 years. I’m 55 and was concerned about having high LDL even though my triglycerides were 47 and HDL 91. Recently had a CAC score done and it was 0!! Dr. Westman videos have helped me so much! Again thank you!!!!
Thank you so very much. I was terrified because my “total cholesterol” was reported high. However, listening to Dr. Westman explain everything, it results that my triglycerides/hdl ratio is 1! I so much appreciate this video. Thanks again
I recently had my lipid panel basic along with a complete metabolic panel (sugar). I had fasted for 20 hours and took a tsp of MCT oil in my coffee that morning about 6 hours before the blood draw. I was only thinking about not affecting my fasting sugar, but didn't even think about the lipid panel. My total cholesterol was 233 and LDL (total) was 168. I told my doctor about the MCT oil and she didn't space out, but said it would be taken into consideration with my results. My triglycerides were a very low 53 and my HDL was 54. I had only been on Keto for about 3 months. My Triglycerides/HDL ratio was .98, so I was very happy about that. I am wondering how the MCT oil affected things. I am thinking that my results would have been a whole lot better if I had not taken the MCT oil which is a daily habit in my morning coffee. At the time, I had lost about 36 pounds after 3 months of Keto so my doctor apparently wasn't alarmed. That was about a month ago and now my weight loss is about 45.5 pounds so I must be doing something right. Just curious about the MCT oil. Thanks!
@SAR dot I checked it out and saw a video on this very subject put up 3 years ago. Based on that, it definitely affected my test. I was searching for videos on this thing before my test, but the focus was on my blood sugar. I just didn't think about the cholesterol lipid panel. Knowing this, I can say my results are good despite my taking the MCT oil. I do IF along with KETO and my appt wasn't until the early afternoon after 20 hours of fasting. The next time, I will try for a morning appt or just doing the blood work the next morning as I never eat breakfast and quite eating the night before around 7ish. Thanks again!
My cholesterol on my most recent labs was: total-406, triglycerides-91, HDL-63, LDL-325, and VLDL-18. My ratio of trig/hdl is 1.44. Because of the former way of interpreting cholesterol and heart disease I’m a bit worried about my total being 406, and my LDL being 325. My LDL was 183 on my prior labs before I started eating fatty meat, grass fed butter and salt again; however on my prior labs my triglycerides/hdl was 1.7. Now, my ratio is better but I’m still concerned with my high total and LDL. Opinions please?
I'm in the same boat. My Trigs are 130 and HDL is 85 and LDL is over 350. Ratio for Trig/HDL is 1.5. I too wonder why Trigs are a bit higher than I'd like (though below the threshold). I fasted 14 hrs before my fasting bloodwork and no exercise that morning. Maybe I didn't drink enough water during fasting that morning or I'm still getting used to Carnivore. Don't know. I will have to recheck in a month and will drink more water that morning.
Thank you, Dr Westman. I was waiting for this video. Very informative and learnt a lot from it. I just got my doc to order a comprehensive blood test for me. I look forward to your next video. Thank you to you too, Glen.
Thank you for this easy to understand information. I do have a question. What is the difference between LDL and VLDL. I have both test results on my yearly lab testing but I'm not sure what VLDL is indicative of.
Interesting! Ratios? Have to figure that out. I may think I'm doing fine and may not. Had CT Scan and it came back with 0 rating. Chol: 310 Trig: 91 HDL: 87 VLDL: 15 LDL:208
I would just keep in mind that cardiovascular disease takes decades to develop. I started medication in my 30's due to a similar lipid panel and familial history. Current science shows us that Apo-B (plus familial history) is the marker most associated with cardiovascular disease. HDL is no longer considered cardioprotective, and ratios are not considered relevant. ruclips.net/video/EfdwqypYAlU/видео.html (your lab results GC) ruclips.net/video/4b1oj3scN7I/видео.html (how to read lipid panel TD) Hope it helps!
Cutting carbs and sugar to some degree will improve just about everyone’s health. May I suggest reading my book, End Your Carb Confusion 😊 No need for a DNA test.
Reassuring! All I was told was that total cholesterol should be less than 200 (or 5 in mmol). Whereas mine is 260 (6.7). But my Tg/HDL is 0.56! Unlike most people here it seems, I'm not at all sold one keto - in fact I'm mostly vegan!
Triglycerides are always the lower, the better. The lower your Triglycerides the more likely your lipoproteins are nice big fluffy, safe lipoproteins. The higher the number the more likely you have oxidized lipoproteins. The tiny ones get stuck when they try to fix damage in your arteries. Look up the Korean Cholesterol Mortality Study published in 2019. Not the first to show these results, but the largest at over 12 million subjects.
Hahaha. No. The calculator doesn't "compute" when the HDL is so high, because it is so rarely seen when people eat carbs! It is good to have an HDL > 100! It also won't compute when the LDL is over a certain number. Again, the metabolism is different on a keto diet---it doesn't mean its bad.
@@ecwestman I’m confused, so what numbers are good when eating low carb. I stick to protein and veg, cheese ,butter, cruciferous veg, I don’t eat packaged “Keto” products. My overall is 300 Tri 75 HDL 126 LDL 159
Much more to health than cholesterol levels but nice to look at and trigs/ HDLnis a good ratio. Good to look at insulin sensitivity too. And "bad" cholesterol is not all bad. LDL is only bad if damaged...or small, dense particles. Need better blood tests. Too simple. Med field needs to step it up. Bottom line is keeping good metabolic health and keeping mitochondria heakthy. Feed the gut and protect liver.
My new lipid panel show that my Total Cholesterol is 249 My Triglycerides is 51 My HDL IS 75, MY LDL IS 164. so that is a ratio of .68 Tri/HDL. My doctor wrote a note saying my cholesterol was very high and that if it is still too high in 6 months I will need to start medications since I have a family history of heart disease.
Mine is TG 66 divided by HDL 81 = .81 but my CRP was very high. And Dr is pushing me to go on statins. That high CRP can be from anything tho If I’m understanding it correctly.
@@darlenesnyder4083 A little up date. I quite carnivore after a year. I had a ct scan recently and they found some calcium build up in an artery. So I had a stress test and my EKG showed that I had an abnormal heart beat while on the treadmill. Now I have another ct scan to have a fluid injected to see where there may be a blockage. After that comes back a treatment may be recommended. We'll see.
You want to raise your HDL and lower triglycerides. One of the best ways is through a low carb diet. If you want to learn exactly what to do, consider Dr. Westman’s course on Cholesterol. Enrolment opens on the 15th November 👇 adaptyourlifeacademy.com/end-your-cholesterol-confusion/
thank you very informative and not too much to swallow, is there a way to find a lipid dr in my city who understands what you practice/teach? I have until Feb 2022 to get my lipid test done for my post-stroke Neurologist appt.
that is great. check out Dr. Paul Mason on RUclips. he has several videos on cholesterol. I am at .78. when I was prediabetic I was at 4.5.....BUT at the same time my cholesterol was forty points lower when I was pre diabetic
@@tserevenad I’m pretty much low carbs everyday under 20. Eats lots of bacon, eggs, hamburger, pork and steak. Some seafood now and then. I’m 64 on no medication. My family history has been heart disease, cancers and my brother passed away this year from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. I started keto back in June 2, 2019 and slowly converted to more carnivore life style. Vegetables do not like me much since I had my gallbladder removed in 2014. I’m so pleased with this way of eating. I tell people through a health seminar I’ve been doing per your videos and Dr. Berry’s videos they truly need to try this new way of eating as a new life style. I have some people who are seeing a difference thank you both so much.
I've been eating keto for 7 months, and lost over 70 lbs. My Doctor was aware of the Keto diet, and expected my LDL would be a "bit high", but was SHOCKED at just how high it is. She says my LDL is over 250, but that's all she'd say. She wanted to start me on medication, but I said no...not doing it. So I read that cinnamon is a good way to lower this and even A1C. My A1C is fine, but hoping the cinnamon will help. LOL
Do you deny all the research around ApoB being the most superior marker for CVD prediction? A regular pattern in the low-carb community that I see is that nobody talks about ApoB or LDL-P, and they all go after only the less significant markers. Is that intentional? Do you know something about ApoB that others don't?
My question is should you fast 12 hours before blood taken to give an accurate reading with triglyceride. I also think triglycerides change from day to day. So can you have small dense LDL if your triglycerides do go from 0.5 to 2.1 in couple of days?
our doctors have said do not fast the night before a test, which makes me wonder if this will affect the triglyceride levels in the blood and therefore affect the test result
Thank you, Dr. Westman. I missed the part about calculating your ratios. Would you mind posting that calculation instruction here? My total is 312, Triglycerides 81, HDL 100, VLDL 16 and LDL 196. Thank you in advance for our consideration. Of course my Dr. is insisting on a statin, but I couldn't tolerate them.
Your Triglycerides to HDL ratio = 0.81 My interpretation of Dr Westman's description of the lipid panel. Target less than 1.0 - the lower the better. It could have been explained better with slides.
It is good to have an HDL over 60! I can't explain these life insurance predictive models. I would like to see insurance companies do their own predictive modelling.
That makes absolutely no sense. Just one more way in which Americans are incentivized toward poor health, for the benefit of greedy corporations (big pharma, hospital groups, etc). I learned long ago that you must do your own extensive research and trust that above all else. If your doctor isn't following the best research, finds a new doctor.
LDL isn't the biomarker of focus so this ratio doesn't hold as much significance based on the latest research. That is why he is talking TG and HDL along with there ratio TG/HDL.
Tossed out by who? Be careful who or what you choose to believe. Not all research is created equal. It's important to understand who is conducting and funding the research and what their conflicts of interests might be.
I like Dr Westman. He is very clever and his books are great however he is terrible whilst trying to explain something. Not just in this example but lots of others. He should have some decent notes and have practiced the answers because he blunders his way through and sounds like he doesn't know anything. Like I said, I respect him immensely but I just refuse anything like these because it's so frustrating. The way Glenn talks is so clear and precise. I'd prefer he tried to give us the info instead.
First off... there is no such thing as good or bad cholesterol... time to get out of the alopathic paradigm... look at the cholesterol cycle to actually understand cholesterol function and where triglycerides are in that cycle...
well the latest data suggests phenotype B (small dense LDL) is the bad. Additionally TG is bad. The good news? both respond favorably to low carb eating.

How does ApoB figure in all of this?
Tg to hdl ratio .815 (110/135). Is that still normal? TyG is 4.77.
Does alcohol increase triglycerides?
Yes, definitely.
DEo you divide the HDL by the Triglycerides, or the other way around????????
Tri / hdl

Doctors a not even looking much at ldl anymore. Not nearly as much as vldl. If your ldl is high but your vldl is very low, you’re likely doing well.
My triglyceride is 89 my LDL is 47. That gives me 1.89 ratio. I hope that's good.
The ratio you want to calculate is TG/HDL, not LDL. Any result below 1.5 is considered protective, but below 1.0 is the goal.
