So a salmon, pea, broccoli, avocado, lentil, quinoa, olive oil and lemon dressing. Walnuts or almonds an option, too. Sounds good!
Salmon is not optimal, as it's just the middle man between us and omega 3's. You are better off with algae, perhaps in the form of chlorella powder from a reputable source.
@@Starship_Xdon't tell me your a vegan😅
@@HarveysWorkshop Nah, I'm 'whole food plant based' and SOS free, which is healthier than vegan.
It’s pretty optimal for me as a source of highly flavorful protein, as well as B12, B6, selenium and niacin. @@Starship_X
How do we know the cleanliness of the waters the salmon is from unless we catch ourselves?
An important correction:
almonds are NOT high in Omega-3. Infact, Omega-3 is close to ZERO in almonds.
Almonds are very high in oxalates, which can cause issues. Regular consumption can lead to the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
Correcting this channel is a full-time job.
@@benedit71 While almonds have a higher oxalate content than cashews and macadamia nuts, they have a lower oxalate content compared to peanuts and pistachios. You can soak or blanch almonds if you want to reduce oxalate content. Roasted almonds should have less also. Like most things oxalates is not all negative. Oxalate helps regulate the excretion of calcium and other minerals. It acts as a chaperone, ensuring that calcium is properly utilized and eliminated from the body. Furthermore, oxalate aids in filtering and removing waste products from the blood helping to cleanse our system and maintain overall health. Interestingly, the human body produces oxalate as a byproduct of normal metabolism. It is synthesized in various organs, including the liver and kidneys, and then excreted through urine. So it's about balance and moderation. Regular consumption of almonds for most people isn't going to lead to formation of kidney stones.
@@oh-brothers can we trust the information this good doctor is giving if he is making obvious mistakes like this??!
@@benedit71, yes…and oxalates can build up over time in many of the body’s organs.
Diet has a MASSIVE impact on heart health, and I summarize the critical concepts at the end of the video.

LOVE your roadmap! Thank you so much!
A little feedback: I suggest you add a little bit of left-padding to the article section. It is legible now, but because I have a smaller monitor, the sidebar has a scrollbar, which is a pixel away from the article text.
@ajsindri2 awesome, will do. Thanks
Sounds like a future athlete. Thanks for the information as always.
How much can diet influence LDL-C? I‘m right at 115 with my LDL-C, so at the border to elevated. I‘m already avoiding saturated fat. Is there a chance of getting it down a bit with diet/exercise?
Protein and/or omega-3: Salmon, lentils, chickpeas. Peas (potassium), Quinoa (magnesium), broccoli (magnesium, vit K), avocado (unsaturated fat), walnuts, almonds, olive oil, lemon.
Keep in mind that in many countries wild salmon isn’t available at all or is insanely expensive.
unfortunately your arteries do not care about your income :/
@@La_sagne in my country wild salmon doesn’t exist at all. And we have among the highest life expectancy in the world.
Sardines
Salmon isn't the only oily fish high in Omega 3s it's just a popular one. Herring, Sablefish, and Anchovies are comparable in Omega 3 content to Salmon. Fish roe has more than salmon. Nearly as much is found in Bluefin Tuna, Atlantic Mackerel, Sardines, Sprats, Trout, and Swordfish. Not so much in Striped Bass, Eel, and Catfish but still a significant amount.
Tin Sardins in tomato sauce are not expensive and you will get the same benefits.
Do tell me where these pristine waters are for harvesting salmon. My takeaway from all my water ecology classes are that they don't exist anymore.
Yeah, the ocean is a radioactive toilet.
I'm afraid you're wrong. Pristine waters do exist and they are in Macquarie Harbour, just off Strahan on the west coast of Tasmania. They have large salmon farms there. This is where the pure fresh waters of the Gordon River meet the pure salt waters of the southern Indian Ocean.
@@WDMTAdventures if there are fish farms, the surroundings won't be pristine. Far from it.
As an older person...i ate this way for many years. I never cheated. Mediterranean all the way. Then...in my 70s....i discovered on imaging that i had plaque in my arteries and calcifications along artery walls....hardened plaque...and i also developed hbp. I also had high levels of mercury from consuming salmon. Then i listened to dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and stripped all overt fats from my diet. Dropped fish. It took some time to regress some of that disease...but i have regressed some plaque. Damage was done however. This doc is a young guy and is interested in the size of his biceps. He has no idea what his endothelium looks like. He doesnt have any idea about what "cleans" his arteries or anyine else's. Follow this advice assuming benefits of "healthy" fats at your own risk. You will find out when you are older if you won the endothelial lottery...or...not.
the thing is without animal foods how will we get collagen and protein and calcium
??
@@maalikserebryakov collagen...you won't...though I have heard a lab is making it now from bacteria that can synthesize it from amino acids. Protein and calcium are abundant in plants...easy to get.
The Tarahumara "Indians" had a diet that was considered anti-atherogenic by the researchers studying them. Their diet was MOSTLY carbohydrate from corn tortillas and pinto beans (75-80% of daily calories). Only 6% was from simple sugars (piloncillo - a very dark brown mostly unrefined sugar). Small amounts of animal protein (chicken, beef, fish, eggs) were eaten on an irregular basis (averaging 6% protein from animal derived sources). Some greens and fruit was also eaten. Fat intake was between 22-54 grams average on a daily basis.
Taurine stimulates phagocytosis by as much as 4x. Fasting also helps. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs.
Fasting increases T cell production and regenerates the thymus. T cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. Fasting also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself, which aids this process!
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. This will also remove any spikes, whether natural or unnatural in origin!
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function.
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. It will can kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting!
Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Fasting doesn't help anything except maybe get a more accurate blood test for something. It is silly to believe that it does.
Nope, does not translate to meaningful outcomes. Stop falling for sexy mechanisms or easy solutions.

@@user-xv5sn9gn5n Yeah, but it takes like 4 days of fasting for it to take effect... how many people are going to do that?

I feel like this video was made for me🥰 I really need to find a way to lower my LDL-C and triglycerides. So, thank you doctor ❤
Wt loss, exercise, [walking and cardio] taking Flush Niacin is you can tolerate it [start slow gradually build up to 500 mg to 1000 mg per day would reduce LDL-C, raise HDL and lower apo little a, best to monitor liver function and glucose with doctors, overall lower carb food intake lowers Tg and LDL, avoid highly sweet fruits, limit fruits to berries in moderation, avoid saturated fat " read labels', avoid processed foods, restaurant foods "they add chemicals and preservatives and do have trans fats which are banned ; Also high quality fish oil with high EPA, DHA helps".
I used to have those. Corrected it by some fasting, fewer sugary foods, eg ice cream and pizza, and resistance training/bodyweight/lifted. Under the legal limits now :)
@DIYDSP I've been doing healthy eating for so many years now. But I am quite sedentary. I really need to find ways to move more.
@@canbalcioglu4229 movement is key. This short little stretching routine opened me up to a lot of movement. Seems like a tight core ws holding me up from more movement: ruclips.net/video/yAJ_TobpRtE/видео.html
Stop drinking fructose, stop starches and simple carbs, no sodas and sugary drinks. Your LDLC and TG will drop.
Thnx for bringing some clarity into the jungle of nutrition. I listened to RUclips gurus who emphasized on insulin resistance, neglecting my LDL level. And now I have angina pectoris 😢

I appreciate the time and effort you put in to produce this video. Thank you.
I just discovered your channel and wanted to thank you so much for such amazing and insightful information and every single video. You’re a very smart guy, and feel blessed to have this knowledge shared.
Great content Brad, I live in Vietnam and my wife and most Vietnamese women really understand diet and how important it is, I eat no processed food everything is always fresh and my wife buys them on the day it is going to be cooked, fortunately, I live in an area that produces amazing vegetables and fruit, I am what's known as a hybrid athlete, I cycle, run, and do weights, I am extremely fit for my age 61yrs, but you are right about cholesterol it is sometimes genetic, even though I exercise and eat healthily, my cholesterol is high, so I take a statin for that and people should not be afraid to use this medication and what's more I have no side effects. 💯
Thank you for all of the great and trusted content. I hope that you and your family are well. The title of the video mentions "clear[ing] out arteries," but the content is about how to prevent calcification. Could you do a video about removing any plaque that's already formed if that is even possible?
Possible if all risk factors are controlled, and blood cholesterol levels are very low (need to use cholesterol lowering medications)
Statin therapy increases coronary calcification!@@DrBradStanfield
@@DrBradStanfieldplease, please, pretty please do a video on HMB
@@DrBradStanfieldMany natural methods of doing that, see Dr Gundry and others …

The perfect video for me at the moment. Thanks
PESA did not show that people without risk factors got heart disease. PESA showed that people who TOLD researchers they have not risk factors, still got heart disease. It's right there on the screen: 1:08
Can you clarify that? What exactly were the words in the study that underline your point? Because I don't see what you said in 1:08.
5-10% of the "healthy group" and "optimal group" were obese!
The average weight was about 70kg at 168cm.
Did these people have no muscle mass?
36% of people in the highest ldl group had no signs of atherosclerosis, let's figure out how these people are different.
All your videos are fantastic. I love that they are full of facts and delivered quickly to get the most out of each video. Please write a book for us to follow the best lifestyle.
This is misleading as LDL has many sub fractions, small dence LDL may enter the artery wall but large buoyant LDL are much less likely so you need to get a full Lipid profile not just LDL /HLD. Were the participants in the trial tested for Lp(a) ?
I've noticed you get really giddy when talking about the solutions! Cool!
I eat natto for breakfast every morning. With the high levels of nattokinase, wouldn’t this be a good meal to prevent blockages?
Eat it several times per day and take serrapeptase together with it
Natto is a great food
Completely cleared up severe claudication in left leg within 3 months. Normailzed my BP and stopped many years of constipation.@@DrBradStanfield
Increase your water !!!
Where can you purchase edible Natto? Do they carry it at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, etc?? I can't find it. Thanks.
something about your latest videos feels like you got a visit from WHO
Hi Dr. Stanfield could you provide some insights on the studies of Stevia and how much is safe to consume on a daily basis? I was just adding up all of my supplements that include Stevia and realize that I'm consuming 700mg per day. Should I be concerned about this? Thanks!
Just DONT !
Thank you, Dr Stanfield! This is a great video. I have a question regarding the saturated fat in coconut and coconut products (Yoghurt, Cream, flakes). Do you know if they are just as bad as saturated fats in anything else? It contains lauric acid - a unique type of medium-chain saturated fat that cannot be found anywhere else.
The video title is wrong.
This is not to clear out arteries, it is to prevent blockages in the arteries.
A meal I'd enjoy and really benefit from, with my high arterial calcium score. Pity I don't HAVE £20 PER DAY TO SPEND ON MY DINNER
Think outside the box! At Aldi in the state of Georgia, a 418g (14.75oz) can of wild-caught Alaskan salmon is $3.26 USD. Not as posh as a filet from the fishmonger, but the same nutritional excellence. And wild-caught, even in a can, is nutritionally superior to farm-raised.
@@petervecchio8105 I take your point, Peter, but food cost more in England, and our Aldi does not even sell salmon. You have encouraged me to seek bargains on wild salmon though
Best of luck to you Christian! Both on the affordable grocery search, and eating healthily, which is what brought me to Dr. Stanfield's video. I occasionally get a good deal on tinned Latvian sprat (small wild-caught herring) at an Armenian import store. But those also have gone up in price this last year @@christianblack2916
@@christianblack2916i buy it online here in Singapore. It's 3X the price of canned Tuna but still way cheaper than a fillet. I do buy those too but the price is ridiculous.
Super video, I love it, thank you Dr. Brad and top off the perfect meal with a few blueberries😊
It seems that too much protein also leads to sugar (glucose) production: once the need for protein is sated the excess is converted to glucose. Legumes can be inflammatory too, but this can be lessened by pressure cooking or fermenting before eating.
LDL-C correlates non causally with ascvd, the causal confounder being ApoB (how many LDL vs how much cholesterol they carry)
The evidence of that hyperglycaemia damages the glycocalyx is strong and this seems like a very good underlying mechanism to explain arthrosclerosis. This fits in with type two diabetics, having much higher risk of atherosclerosis. The mechanism of how LDL lipoproteins cause arthrosclerosis seems dubious and many are questioning the validity of this hypothesis.
Who is many? Laypersons - yes.
Scientists no, it is consensus since 2017. Mendelian randomization trials brought overwhelming evidence.
People without hyperglycemia do get arteriosclerosis and MI‘s, there are ones at the clinic I‘m working at. How do you explain that🤔. I live in a country that does not have as high as a diabetes rate then the US, but higher incidence of cardiovascular disease.
I‘m from Germany, feel free to look it up.
I blame it on the traditional diet, since it is meat heavy and full of saturated fat.
What makes you doubt that it is LDL particles causing the problem? Maybe I can fill in the gaps.
Fantastic content. So pertinent to the times. Thank you!
It also happens with perfect lab reports. Something damages the blood vessel wall and the process starts. We need to focus on that! Otherwise we are like a dog chasing its tail.
Almonds are extremely high in oxalates.
Brad, interesting study on healthy population LDL levels, but "bush logic" still says to me that if inflammation is limited, cholesterol levels are of secondary concern.
I realise you are on the LDL is bad path , but health of blood vessels, glycocalyx imho first priority
5-10% of the "healthy group" and "optimal group" were obese!
The average weight was about 70kg at 168cm.
Did these people have no muscle mass?
36% of people in the highest ldl group had no signs of atherosclerosis, let's figure out how these people are different.
PS. So far haven't made it to ess than 70 mg/dL LDL-C. What kind of statin would you suggest to help lower it? Last LDL-C was 90 mg/dL but ApoB was at 67 mg/dL. TG at 66, TC at 155, HDL-C at 55. Rousevastatin at 5 mg per day or every other day?
Does vitamin K2 help to prevent the calcification of the plaque from forming?
research is inconclusive so far
Studies ongoing to explore this. No firm evidence in humans yet. Stronger evidence for bone protection in humans
studies on dialysis patients shows K2 supplements reduces calcification..... wait to see if same result with normal subjects....
I don‘t know if that is a positive thing though. You want soft plaque to calcify.🤔
At least he didn't recommend a vegan diet.
You forgot the dessert! Sweet butter & brown sugar stocked hot pecan pie, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, colorful gleaming bowl of M&Ms for Halloween, or English toffees, & fresh high-caffeine coffee with cream. Plus whiskey, fat smoke-cloud cigars & poker games for high stakes gambling. Can't believe you forgot these old English/southern /American essentials!
The nutrient density of food is more important as is their insulogenic effect. Calories itslef won"t really help. If you eat 3000Kcal from meat only or rice only it will not have the same effect on weight loss. which make the calories hypothesis wrong.
Thanks. Very important information advice.
Based on all the available data regarding atherosclerosis, I am convinced that there is a missing factor or combination of that we are missing. To many valid research papers point in too many different or contrary directions. This is an indicator of a topic that is not yet fully understood.
Agreed, 5-10% of the "healthy group" and "optimal group" were obese!
The average weight was about 70kg at 168cm.
Did these people have no muscle mass?
36% of people in the highest ldl group had no signs of atherosclerosis, let's figure out how these people are different.
@@Morgainz88 70kg with a size of 168cm is not obese but normal weight. That is a BMI of 24,8???
And some people with high LDL-C did not get plaques. And? That does not change the fact that the majority did get plaques. I don‘t get your argument here.
@@stellasternchen these are averages.
If 10% were obese and average person was 70kg at 168cm that implies these people were on average very lean or thin with low muscle mass.
Muscle mass is protective for many diseases and seems like a factor you would try to account for but unfortunately the study doesn't do that and it doesn't present the raw data.
@@stellasternchen if one third of people in the high ldl group didn't get plaque I think that's worth investigating.
You want to ignore it apparently.
@@Morgainz88 Not ignore it, but it does not change the fact that the data disproves that healthy people with high LDL-C can‘t have arteriosclerosis, which was claimed here.
I‘m not saying it should not be investigated.
Most confusion is cleared once you look at the fact that LDL-C is not the same as LDL, they mostly correlate, but not always, since particles carry different amounts of cholesterol.
So one thing I would investigate here is if
those that had no plaque and high LDL-C do also have high LDL particles. Maybe they do not.
LDL-C is a sub-par marker; ApoB or LDL-P is far better, since it directly measures the arterogenic particles. This is known though.
If that does not explain it - then we might deal with a new factor.
Dr.Stanfield - I love your videos. Can you review the 12 clinical studies for the probiotic P128?
I agree to everything you’re talking about in this video but what do you suggest when I eat anything high in fiber it makes me really constipated. Unable to move my bowels for days. I love your channel so much valuable info you give and easy to understand. I wish you were located in Nashville
You might have a deficient microbiome. Try eating fermented foods. Chris Gardner did a study which suggests it can help. I assume you're drinking sufficient water...
So far your advice is in line with the newest understanding of cardiovascular health. The only things I believe you skipped over is what type of LDL cholesterol is dangerous as well as the role played by lesions and the cause of the lesions. Love to see you do a more in depth analysis of these factors.
All members of the apoB family are potentially dangerous.
@@courseinmircls All types of LDL particles cause heart disease. Stop believing keto propaganda about muh small dense LDL only.
I wouldn't follow this doctor's dietary advice. He is not a nutritionist, nor a lipids or cardiovascular expert. He's just an allopathic doctor. This doc is pretty good at mixing a few facts with a whole lot of half-truths and even downright lies. Maybe he doesn't know the difference. I'm so glad that he has been repeatedly debunked by Prof. Bart Kay (his latest video about this doc is a must-watch).
@@hikari8858 His message is in line with the various official health organizations.
I think latest research is all LDL matters.
Can you let me know how long one needs to eat these meal to receive the desired effect?
1:37 and we can clearly see on the graph that the sample size was n=2 for the first bar in the graph. That's basically double the precision of an N=1 experiment! Amazing.
To have LDL-c levels that low, you have to hit the genetic lottery jackpot. Very rare.
As LDL-c increases though, you can clearly see a trend.
Remember that people were only included in that analysis who had optimal risk factors (no insulin resistance, high blood pressure, they were perfect weight, etc)
@@DrBradStanfieldnot true.
5-10% of the "healthy group" and "optimal group" were obese!
The average weight was about 70kg at 168cm.
Did these people have no muscle mass?
36% of people in the highest ldl group had no signs of atherosclerosis, let's figure out how these people are different.
Are there any reliable (in terms of purity) plant based supplements for Omega 3?
Outstanding!
My understanding is that people on carnivore have high cholesterol in blood but no blockages. Is this incorrect?
Some sort of leafy green like romaine would be good, but ya great meal!
So I moved from the U.S. to Europe, and now I'm unable to give blood due to low blood pressure and iron. I was surprised and went to the doctor. They agreed it was low, but did an ekg and said I'm healthy, it's just low. Do you think doing a video on iron or blood pressure could be good? I've heard having low iron isn't necessarily bad, and could even be good. Europe just seems to have higher bars to clear for donating blood compared to the US.
Thanks again :)
The problem is that there is simply not enough wild salmon in the oceans to feed all those wishing to live longer. The farming odds salmon, on the other hand, is also not a very environmentally friendly option - unless it is made not in the fresh water but in specifically built tanks - which is more expensive but in which case the farm salmon is, counterintuitively, of a better quality.
Farmed fish is also regulated for quality
This doctor does not look like the picture of health he should be when taking all those supplements
Looks are related, but still different from health.
Great video but you're overlooking tbe importance of a higher fat intake in the diet along with increased protein and lower carbs for overall health - including weight management, nutrient absorption, adequate levels of fat soluble vitamins eg vitamin K2, heart skin and brain health, muscle growth, antioxidant activity. A calorie is not a calorie. Numerous studies have shown that dairy fats and tropical fats aid weight management in reducing overall body fat despite being higher in calories than proteins and carbohydrates.👍 💪
If the mere presence of LDL cholesterol causes plaques, why are there no plaques in veins? Also, since LDL is uniformly distributed in the blood, why do plaques tend for form at specific locations, such as near arterial branch points, instead of uniformly in the system, like LDL? Associated in not causation. Fireman are associated with fires, and more fireman are associated with bigger fires. That does not mean firemen cause fires. The Framingham Heart Study and the Mayo Clinic study (see Dec 2017 Mayo Clinic Proceedings), which both followed thousands of individuals for decades, showed that for metabolically healthy individuals, the cardiovascular risk is, at most, weakly associated with LDL levels. Instead of focusing on LDL, consider focusing on the sources of damage to the glycocalyx and endothelial cells lining the arteries. And look for ways to care for them. For most Americans, the most important step is to stop eating junk food, refined carbs, and sugar.
My understanding is the arterial pressure is higher and branches even more so. My blockages were at branches.
@@rickduker4969 Yes, biomechanical damage to the arterial lining appears to be a necessary precursor to plaquing.
Sugar
LDL-C at 115, which is normal in the US, causes plaguing in most people. A low dose statin is the most anti-aging, pro-longevity action you can do. Teenagers have LDL in the 20s and 30s. This is what we should strive for through an all the above approach.
Yep.. the fact that it's not uncommon for people to have high ldl readings and still be metabolically healthy shuts down the notion that ldl is the culprit for heart disease
The best meal to clear out your arteries is a high antioxidant raw salad with specific ingredients like I eat 4 times a week for dinner. Chickpeas (protein, complex carbs), mixed greens (minerals), broccoli sprouts (Sulforaphane, powerful antioxidant), shredded carrots (beta carotene), grape tomatoes (vitamin-C), diced green onions (Quercetin, powerful antioxidant), flax/hemp/chia seeds (ALA, Omega-3 fat & complex carbs), and pick a low fat dressing. I also sprinkle 2-teaspoons of nutritional yeast (B-vitamins) and 2-teaspoons of Lion's Mane mushroom powder (nerve & brain health support). Myself as a vegan, and being knowledgeable about nutrition, I constructed this salad as a meal with complete nutrition and incredible antioxidant content for overall health and workout recovery. This is the kind of meal that cleans out your arteries and helps heal/prevent damage in arteries. This is one of the most supportive and healing meals I have ever come across. It's not only great for the heart, but also for workout recovery, nerve healing, brain support and ridding the body of damaged cells which in turn helps slow aging.
Nice one! For Muscle pain recovery ive been mixing beets, watercress, and creatine into a smoothie with general green smoothie ingredients.
Would it be ok to cook food with Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Could you make a video on triglycerides, some people claim that that's most important to keep low
Not in itself, but the lower it is the more indicative it is of better metabolic health.
@@SeanonyoutubeSo it's ancillary rather than causative?
@@dwdwone I wouldn’t even say ancillary. I’d simply say that lower TGs is a result of better metabolic health. Kinda like being able to see the rocks in the lake is the result of cleaner water. The rocks in themselves don’t impact water clarity, but it is good to be able to see the rocks. Low TGs in themselves don’t improve metabolic health, but having low TGs is a benefit of good metabolic health.
What do you think of nattokinase for dissolving plaque that has already formed in the carotid artery?
Im probably the only person allergic to quinoa. No matter if I change the cooking times, soak it, eat it in other forms (pasta) it ALWAYS gives me intense abdominal pain
Quinoa is high in oxalate. This from a quick Google search:
Quinoa is a member of the amaranth family (Amaranthaceae), which also contains beetroot, chard (Beta vulgaris) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea).
You may be sensitive to one or all of these. Hope that helps.
Eat only red fatty meat. Thank me later
Go animal based.
Yup carnivore diet very likely to help you heal .. Countless testimonials to that effect ..
Not to be eaten. It's modern day starvation food at best.
Emma Morano the world’s oldest person ate raw eggs and beef for years and attributed her longevity to this diet.
Anecdotes do not good science make. As in “my friend’s uncle lived to 95 and smoked 40 a day”
@@markaldridge5089 Right, never learn anything unless its a double blind placebo controlled study funded by big pharma. Are you really that clueless?
what if we use potassium salt instead of sodium? any thoughts is this good or bad or neither???
Potassium chloride is a poison. Potassium citrate found in food is good.
Recent large studies have shown that switching to a potassium salt is a good idea
Great video
Are you able to address concerns for natural bodybuilders since it is common to be statistically overweight despite being very lean. Is this form of overweight still worse for health than being a normal weight?
My guess is that the first problem being overweight is that it leads to insuline resistance and so it leads to diabetes. On the contrary, the more you have muscles, the more you become insuline sensitive since the muscle absorb the glucose, so bodybuilders won't have the typical problems that overweight people have.
I just had my Lipoprotein (a) checked and it was 167.9 nmol/L; kinda concerned. I have Chrones Disease and have had it for many years. I saw some studies that suggests that could be the culprit.
Would appreciate any feedback
Are peas and lentils not full of lectins? Is this not something your worried about?
How did the study measure “insulin resistance”… Most blood panels don’t test for insulin resistance, so I’m curious what was done in the study.
It did although I wonder if everyone got it or just some, average was about 4.5, forget the units, wish they would release all the data so we could do our own analysis.
5-10% of the "healthy group" and "optimal group" were obese!

My only criticism is regarding peas. The recent research shows there is no connection between dietary cholesterol intake and blood cholesterol levels. So peas binding with dietary cholesterol particles in the stomach would have no effect on blood cholesterol.
Dietary cholesterol has an effect on blood levels (depending on your genetic disposition more or less) in a healthy diet.
Studies that don't find an effect are in the saturation range (which also depends on the background diet). The effect of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol is typically saturated very early in typical dietary patterns.
But comparing near zero to the average dietary cholesterol intake or people with a healthy dietary pattern you can still see the effects.
Furthermore it can also bind to cholesterol the liver wants to get rid of and prevents reabsorption.
The cholesterol coming from the liver is also the reason for the diet dependent saturation. And the absorption of cholesterol is limited (and there is large genetic variation).
You can find an excellent interview with a researcher in this topic on _Nutrition made simple!,_ where almost all the things that I said are discussed and evidence is provided.
Isn't low LDL associated with increased risk of dementia?
No, how is that supposed to be connected with each other?External cholesterol can not cross the blood brain barrier.
@@stellasternchen A 2022 meta-analysis of 23 studies found that people with the lowest LDL cholesterol levels had a 17% higher risk of dementia than those with the highest LDL cholesterol levels.. there are a number of other studies showing this link as well
@@cathompson58 Mendelian randomization studies show lower risk though.

All of brain matter is fat.
Could hold true that the medications to counter cholesterol might inhibit some critical fat processing metabolism for the nerves in the body.
Much better to counter it naturally via fasting, diet control & eating healthy fats.
@@TheCycloneTrooper Some studies show statins lower dementia risk. Not sure though if those are only single studies.
Nevertheless I agree, since they can have side effects.
I‘m trying with the Mediterranean diet to get below 100 mg/dl. Christmas made me go a little off track with all the sweet treats though😅
While both almonds and walnuts are good sources of polyunsaturated fats, only walnuts contain appreciable amounts of ALA omega-3
Does the olive oil count if i use it to cook?
Olive oil has a low smoke-point of 300 degree celsius post which it can get converted into trans-fat.
Beware of it.
The problem with the best meal as designed by dr. Brad is that this meal has a high amount of carbohydrate that is going to elevate blood sugar.
And dr. Brad clearly stated we want to reduce blood sugar.
100gr of cooked quinoa has 22 g of carbohydrate, only 3g of fiber, and 4.5g of protein
100g of cooked peas has 15g of carbs, 5g of fibers, and 5 gr of proteins
I shoot for 8-10gr of carb per meal or my blood sugar goes up.
The peas & quinoa alone provide 37g of carbohydrate
Carbs aren't the devil. Just exercise.
Blood sugar going up isn't a problem as long as it doesn't stay elevated. Cutting out carbs makes you less insulin sensitive.
I don’t see the HDL levels. The argument is high LDL is fine as long as HDL is fine also. The graph does not show HDL.
Also recent study of 30000 centenarians found they had high cholesterol not low.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I am almost 70 the last time I visited a McDonald‘s is 45 years ago once and never again grass fed beef, olive oil, sardines, self made bread, grass fed butter, ACV and exercising no health issues since 40 years and I still have the same weight when I was in my 30’s 😉
What kind of exercise?
Do you eat any fruits and vegetables?

Excellent information as usual, Doc! I wish there were more studies done on understanding whether the LDL levels being High are causing the accumulation in the vessels or whether the body is naturally raising a persons LDL levels when they have high levels of inflammation and damage to vessels, in order to protect and repair that damage. Considering how low an effect eating cholesterol rich foods has on our actual Lab values, it would be so valuable to have more information regarding these processes
It has been known for decades that eating more cholesterol rich foods will not raise blood cholesterol levels much if baseline dietary cholesterol is already high (as it is in the average US diet). It will raise blood cholesterol levels though if people have a low baseline intake. That's presumably why the egg industry keeps funding trials of added dietary cholesterol intake showing little effect on cholesterol levels of average Americans. The US National Academies of Science state that the dietary intake of cholesterol should be kept as low as possible.
When you say high protein how much is is high or how mush should I consume im 55 years old my goal weight is 180 lb
5'9" tall and I lift weight almost everyday
Right now I'm getting about 150 grams of protein per day
2 grams per Kg of body weight at our age.
You're 82Kg so 164 grams per day.
Maybe you could suggest a longevity lunch and dinner based on research
I will try plant based, as I heard older guys I talked who been on whole plant based they seem to be energetic and sharp on their age for sure! SO I wonder if plant based is option to try, I will :)
I really was against statins so I really went into research and have to say I had to change my mind and very impressed with small amounts of rosuvastatin that I truly believe the benefits outweigh the risk of not taking it. Possibly extending life with a healthy diet.
Statins are definitely not good to take. Do more research Mr fx.
@@travelguy1564Clinical studies prove the benfit of statins in lowering all cause mortality. Maybe next time don’t just listen to influencers on tiktok who are trying to sell you supplements.
Blood is water based so fat soluble cholesterol must be modified or packed. LDL is a solution transporting cholesterol in blood but this is not the only way.
Normally liver bind it to sulfate ((2-)SO4) if liver can make sulfate. Sulfated cholesterol is water soluble so packing into LDL is unnecessary.
Even more skin produced D3 (what is a form of cholesterol) is either binded to sulfate if skin can produce sulfate otherwise packed.
Sulfate production is based on molybdenum (42th element, meaning of life :)). Good souces of molybdenum are legumes, flaxseed, peas :) ...
I like Dr. Stanfield, but pees and quinoa are high in carbs. So, as a prediabetic, how can I safely add these to my diet?
Maybe? There are different theories on the causative factors of CVD, of witch one is being presented. It might be interesting to consider for discussion others, such as Linus Pauling's Theory of Cardiovascular Disease.
Coincidentally just about to cook broiled wild-caught salmon, wild rice with walnuts, broccoli and cauli. With salad. 🥗 My 81-yo mother has very obvious memory decline, so I make sure she gets plenty of omega 3, protein and fiber daily. Otherwise, she would be much worse.
Frozen peas ( and frozen corn ) make a great snack
What do you make of the use of planet sterols with meals to reduce LDL?
Use LDL Fractionation Test and CIMT test
this guy is excellent
I have not looked at this entire video yet, however they are different sizes of LDL particles a tiny one called small dense LDL and a larger one call large buoyant LDL.
What the research has shown is the small dense LDL tends to stick in your arteries, but not the large buoyant LDL.
The body apparently makes small dense LDL, from dietary carbohydrates, and the body makes large buoyant LDL from dietary fats.
If you are not discussing the amount LDL particles per cubic centimeter or what other measure, and you're not getting to the point.
