The results were immediate. I don’t begin to know how or why as I am just a layperson trying to learn. I have to go see my doctor this next month and I am kind of afraid she will scoff at my decision to go Keto this past year, but my weight is good, and I feel great… so we will see.

@@corteltubeSad that you can't share your way of eating without being bullied by a likely ignorant, arrogant bully. My doctor actually looked into what I said about LMHR and documented in my chart that my higher total cholesterol and LDL wasn't a concern based on my LDLparticle size, high HDL, low Triglycerides, and O CAC score.
One older Doctor offered me a statin when he saw my ldl ,on keto .I said I would think about it ,and watched many videos like this one .I returned to my Doc with my lmhr phenotype info ,and another younger Doctor was actually aware of keto and the lmhr phenotype .
I really admire the way Dave is trying (successfully) to maintain a scientific, non-biased approach to furthering our knowledge of this very divisive subject…despite the many studies, cardiologists & lipidologists (around the globe) who claim the causal link between high LDL and CVD is already “job done”!
Me too. I have listened to him speak many times and he is extremely (painfully even) measured in exactly what he says and what he backs away from saying. Absolute legend.
27 Mo's on carnivore. I was fat, prediabetic, high blood pressure ect. (metabolic disease). Now I am not. I will never go back. Thanks guys ( and I am 67 y.o.)
So thrilled with what Dave and the team has done. My LDL is 353 while I had a CAC scan of "0" this year. HDL is 67 and trigs 140. Age 73 yrs. Cholesterol has been high since my first cholesterol test in 2005. LDL particles have always been predominately large. I've been on and off a Ketogenic , low carb diet or carnivore since about 2005. Carnivore the last 4 years. Can't say I am LMHR though. Can not be considered lean at all. My doctor was very surprised.
Please work with your doctor. Those triglycerides and HDL don't put you in LMHR category. Glad your CAC is awesome. Also, Dave found that fasting 10-12 and not 8 hours is needed before testing triglyceride levels.
My HDL is higher (2,1 mmol) and triglycerides are lower (0,6 mmol), but i brisk walk alot. If u can do so: i think you would improve that numbers 2. My LDL is about the same: 334 mg/dl. Im 42 yrs old, doing better then ever. Still worrying about the LDL, but messages like these give me hope!
As a hyper responder myself i have been awaiting this data aver since I saw Dave on Low Carb Downunder or US or on Diet Doctor (I can't recall) and hoping for an explanation as to what it means for future treatment and health management. And possibly teaching my gp a thing or 2. Thank you for bringing Dave back to me Nick to me a Brett for ushering them in. Maybe RFK Jr will be on in the future to explain just how he's going to make America (the world) healthy again. Cheers
Problem is vegetarian or vegan not equal healthy if eating chips and ultraprocessed 'food' One good thing Carnivore regardless all else is they don't have UPF anymore
Congratulations on your weight loss. To be fair, though, were you eating a “healthy” vegetarian diet? Or were you eating lots of ultra-processed junk foods and sugary desserts. I’m ketovore. Not afraid of eating meat and fat, but also eats lots of fruits and vegetables. I too have lost lots of weight and improved many metabolic markers. I’m easily addicted to carbs, so a ketovore diet works best for me, but I think both diets (carnivore and vegetarian) can both be”healthy”.
Wow! I hope you share that everywhere and often! People need to hear that. Maybe on Dr Ford Brewer's channel as he is really into ways to decrease plaque burden. Congrats to you!
Considering calcium score variable depending on type of CT scanner, wouldn't read too much into that. Useful thing is that it has not significantly increased.
@@chewiewins used the same machine for my cac and CTA and the variance was >10%. There may be too subjectivity on the average but a solution to a significant decrease has to exist.
In 20 months on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol, my CAC went from 660 to 458. It's been two more years, and at the same rate of regression, I expect it to be in the low 300s.
I am genuinely curious as to why medical academia has such a predisposition to not understanding what causal means. It seems people who should know better, will identify elements that are clearly contributory as causal. Are they simply not aware of the linguistic distinction between the two, or do they not recognize the semantic difference? As a software engineer who started digging into the medical field, I am bewildered by the apparent absence of understanding of how to infer, and then confirm the mechanistic processes involved using the scientific method. It's like most of medicine is from a parallel science free universe.
Because they're being fed data from the testing that Pharma does which of course is a fabrication or twisting of the data to make it seem Statins actually do some good.
Causation is a thoroughly complex topic. Ask Supreme Court justices, Hume, Kant, Aristotle, Newton, Einstein and any tort lawyer. The human body is also complex. And the impact diet and lifestyle and environmental factors is complex. So to understand human health and the causes of it goes into complexity combined with complexity combined with complexity.
@@RC-qf3mp software engineers build models that have been shown to be 20% more accurate in diagnosing root cause than doctors. Managing complexity is what software engineers do. In order to be able to determine the root cause of maladaptive behavior in a complex system, one needs a foundation in information theory. Something that current medical training does not include. Human physiology is an information processing machine (as is everything in the universe) and as such, attempting to practice diagnostic medicine without a background in information theory is essentially malpractice.
@@homomorphic John Searle refuted the idea that nature is an information processing machine or that that brain is an information processing machine - about 40 years ago. See his paper on the Chinese Room Argument and his subsequent writings on the issue. In short, ‘information’ is in the eye of the beholder. Syntax is not sufficient for semantics. ‘Information’ is not intrinsic to nature but observer relative. Lots of people deal with complexity and there are different kinds of complexity. Causation, however, is a conceptually complex. You are presupposing a certain concept of causation rather than justifying it at the exclusion of all others. In short, you are oversimplifying the complexity. No offense, but nothing special about software ‘engineering’. Software is applied logic, b/c a computer is a logical machine. As Hubert Dreyfus wrote in his seminal “What Computers Can’t Do” (co-written with his brother Stuart Dreyfus, an Engineering Professor at Berkeley), Plato was the first computer programmer.
Hope Citizens Scientist Foundation will have a research on GKI of less than 2 in reversing or curing metabolic diseases such as Atherosclerosis, CKD, Stroke, Foot Ulcers, Retinopathy etc

I am happy Dave and Nick showing possibility isolated raised LDL in absence metabolic syndrome is safe and hope they prove it long term. Key is regardless what one thinks, Keto and Carnivore benefits is dropping UPF and refined carbs.
Thanks for your comment. In general, LDL does not go up for people who are not LMHR, and if it does, it tends to be small increases that are offset by metabolic improvements. Of course, this is an average and does not encompass everyone. We have done a number of videos about cardiac risk, which includes LDL cholesterol. We hope they have helpful information for you. ruclips.net/video/pKmNhQbtDLI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/u0h8lfxRqMs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/r_9S9BYBWo4/видео.html
Medical insurance companies should be all over this stuff. They don't give a shit if big pharma implodes, they just want the most cost effective treatment, whatever that might be. Gotta keep the shareholders happy.
I am a LMHR. Got my test numbers back today. Total: 366 Trigs: 40 HDL: 114 LDL: 244 Dr wanted to put me on a statin + I said No. Now doc is going to send me to a cardiologist to check the big fluffy and small dense LDL. I guess she cannot do that test. But I feel great. Been eating keto for years. Almost carnivore now. Day before the test I ate lamb shanks for brunch and then supper was a ribeye. Ate 2 tiny boiled carrots with the lamb. Drank a kombucha (gts synergy). Do tons of walking. Next monday I do skin prick testing at the allergist. Seem to be allergic to milk now.
I definitely have heart issues being diagnosed. I've been carnivore for 6 months trying to heal. Next week I will have a heart sonogram and see a naturopath for bloodwork. Total chloresterol, non fasting, is 450! Last year on low fat high carb, 196. I am probably a lean mass hyper-responder. Some calcification in left carotid artery.
I hope you consider getting a CAC scan to give you a baseline reading of arterial calcification and then repeat it in a couple of years, maybe, to see how it’s developing on the diet. I am in the same position as you and that’s my plan. I got my baseline score and am interested to see how the diet affects it. Good luck!
I am concerned that this study also did not drill down to the correct level of real risk. Can the same analysis be done using LMHR subjects that have above normal APO B?? That is where the actual risk lies, and we need this answer flushed out. APO B years matter, and we don't want to be blind to this fact. I see people who seem to think the LMHR title is akin to being super man.
27:25 -- Looking inside these tiny particles and finding what is *exactly* in each particle might show a tremendous amount of new data on this saga. I'm in the camp that the body does what it needs to do at an exceeding correct % at almost all times.
I'm wondering if returning to carbs in amounts that far exceed keto lifestyle limits can cause depression symptoms. I have been eating a relaxed keto diet of around 50 grams or less of carbs for about 11 months. But recently, I decided to try adding lentils, red kidney beans, and some starchy vegetables back into my meals. After two weeks of high increases in my carb per day totals, I have put about three pounds back on, feel hungry even after eating a full meal, and I've been sluggish and feeling uncommonly blue. Can a return to carbs cause mild depression?
Some people have reported a recurrence of depression when they are no longer in ketosis. It's interesting to note that some people do just fine, and other struggle. There is a clear individuality in peoples' response.
My experience is that additional 40 gr of carbs to carnivore (20-30 gr/day) leaves me lethargic and prone to inflammation (joint pain) next day. That absolutely affects my mood, even stimulates existential issues: depression. Vegetables aren't worth it.
I’m amazed that these heart scans are somewhat frowned upon to check BUT statins are prescribed Willy nilly. I’m so confused by all of this. I have 450 total cholesterol HDL 1.6 tryglycerides oscillate between 0.60 & 0.80. I’m 7 kgs over ideal weight. I’m one of these carnivores (2yrs) with an HBA1c 5.7 yet insulin c peptide is fine BUT get dawn phenomenon and every time my P fasting glucose is 5.8/5.9. I’ve worn a CGM last two weeks and my BG stays within a very tight range except for morning. I don’t have high blood pressure either. Am I a risk or not, is the question I ask myself pretty much everyday. One day I’m not the next day I am… depends who I’m listening to. My functional doc has mentioned my high cholesterol again. I just give in. I wish someone would put out a beautifully presented video for dummies. A CAC scan in SA is R15,000 plus, I don’t have money for that. Moan moan moan! Pfft ah well
@@speedyswede5585 I’ve been carnivore almost two years. Only occasionally going over 15g carbs a day. Mostly it’s in the 2g range (eggs). I’ve been doing extended fasting. Well over 40 fasts from 36/96hrs in last year and a half. I’ve turned to the lion diet now, last 3 weeks and OMAD. Something at some point has to shift. I’m also in menopause, had 4 major surgeries in 3 yrs so maybe just maybe it’s more to do with that than anything. Healing. I dunno
@@Tee667Have a particle size test if you are worried about your cholesterol. Your blood glucose is high so I would focus on eating more fat and less protein if you're not in ketosis. You might be a carnivore who is still using glucose through gluconeogenesis. In saying that, your BG numbers are also effected by stress, illness and exercise as you would see with your CGM.
@@francisvlatko2834 I’m seeing the doc tomorrow. I’ve already requested one of these in an email last week. I’ve had 4 major surgeries in 3 years. I think this has something to do with it. Have been listening to Bickman explaining insulin&glucagon and gluconeogensis. eating once a day should not create a problem.
I bet you may freak out to know I am on 30 grams of Vitamin C per day in divided doses. But really high dose C is acidic enough to desolve calcium. It's actually low dosing that can form stones. Reversing my coronary artery calcium with the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol verified by CAC.
I'm a slender person with high LDL, an LDL 188. I started the keto diet a few months ago. My A1C was 5.6, and it went down to 5.2.my liver enzymes went down to normal, but my LDL is still high. Should I get a CAC scan on my heart? My doctor wants to put me on statins. He's been pressuring me like crazy. I feel amazing on Keto, and I'm nearly carnivore.
That's a great response to your A1c! Congrats. We can't give advice about what tests you should get, but we can say that that many people find a zero calcium score very reassuring in terms of risk. But, of course, each situation is individualized. Some people find tremendous value in a one-time consultation with a doctor experienced with ketogenic therapy.
what about implications for less healthy cohorts, eg. those who already had heart attacks? There is a claim that statin can improve Atherosclerotic plaque.
Yes, data support that statins can help stabilize plaque in people with pre-exisitng coronary artery disease. It's debatable whether it is a direct LDL effect or an anti-inflammatory and direct plaque stabilizing effect. But that doesn't directly relate to the LMHR study, which didn't look at statins.
Please take a look at all our LDL content, including an interview with Dr. William Cromwell, and share them with your clinician if you think it would help foster a more productive conversation about your options. ruclips.net/video/jybPe48bGtY/видео.html
Both groups have plaques and have high LDLs …. What is groundbreaking about this? There needs to be a comparison with a group with even lower LDLs (ones without any source of dietary LDL)
The neurologist I saw was A OK with my keto diet. He understood that with the food allergies + food reactions I can eat what I can eat. And that is grass fed meat + pasture eggs.

I’ve worn a CGM last two weeks and my BG stays within a very tight range except for morning. I don’t have high blood pressure either.
Am I a risk or not, is the question I ask myself pretty much everyday. One day I’m not the next day I am… depends who I’m listening to. My functional doc has mentioned my high cholesterol again. I just give in. I wish someone would put out a beautifully presented video for dummies. A CAC scan in SA is R15,000 plus, I don’t have money for that. Moan moan moan! Pfft ah well
Keep up the faith. Stay as uninflammatory with your diet as possible. Search out what is uninflammatory and what foods are, etc.
@@speedyswede5585 I’ve been carnivore almost two years. Only occasionally going over 15g carbs a day. Mostly it’s in the 2g range (eggs). I’ve been doing extended fasting. Well over 40 fasts from 36/96hrs in last year and a half. I’ve turned to the lion diet now, last 3 weeks and OMAD. Something at some point has to shift. I’m also in menopause, had 4 major surgeries in 3 yrs so maybe just maybe it’s more to do with that than anything. Healing. I dunno
@@Tee667Have a particle size test if you are worried about your cholesterol.
Your blood glucose is high so I would focus on eating more fat and less protein if you're not in ketosis. You might be a carnivore who is still using glucose through gluconeogenesis. In saying that, your BG numbers are also effected by stress, illness and exercise as you would see with your CGM.
@@francisvlatko2834 I’m seeing the doc tomorrow. I’ve already requested one of these in an email last week. I’ve had 4 major surgeries in 3 years. I think this has something to do with it. Have been listening to Bickman explaining insulin&glucagon and gluconeogensis. eating once a day should not create a problem.
Nick needs to stop with the sweet potatoes. They are very high in oxalates.
I've never had a kidney stone... don't eat sweet pots... do eat dark chocolate... 95% or greater...
I bet you may freak out to know I am on 30 grams of Vitamin C per day in divided doses. But really high dose C is acidic enough to desolve calcium. It's actually low dosing that can form stones. Reversing my coronary artery calcium with the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol verified by CAC.
I'm a slender person with high LDL, an LDL 188. I started the keto diet a few months ago. My A1C was 5.6, and it went down to 5.2.my liver enzymes went down to normal, but my LDL is still high.
Should I get a CAC scan on my heart? My doctor wants to put me on statins. He's been pressuring me like crazy. I feel amazing on Keto, and I'm nearly carnivore.
That's a great response to your A1c! Congrats. We can't give advice about what tests you should get, but we can say that that many people find a zero calcium score very reassuring in terms of risk. But, of course, each situation is individualized. Some people find tremendous value in a one-time consultation with a doctor experienced with ketogenic therapy.
what about implications for less healthy cohorts, eg. those who already had heart attacks? There is a claim that statin can improve Atherosclerotic plaque.
Yes, data support that statins can help stabilize plaque in people with pre-exisitng coronary artery disease. It's debatable whether it is a direct LDL effect or an anti-inflammatory and direct plaque stabilizing effect. But that doesn't directly relate to the LMHR study, which didn't look at statins.
So my ldl went from 3.3 mmol to 6.8 mmol when cutting carbs and eating saturated fat. Im 165cm and 50kg female
Please take a look at all our LDL content, including an interview with Dr. William Cromwell, and share them with your clinician if you think it would help foster a more productive conversation about your options. ruclips.net/video/jybPe48bGtY/видео.html

If I want ever want less ldl ,as an lmhr ,at least oreos are cheaper than statins, (and quicker).
Both groups have plaques and have high LDLs …. What is groundbreaking about this?
There needs to be a comparison with a group with even lower LDLs (ones without any source of dietary LDL)
Keto diet is seemed as a nightmare by most neurologists. Warning ☠️
I have a PhD in neurometabolism... and I'm calling BS on that.
The neurologist I saw was A OK with my keto diet. He understood that with the food allergies + food reactions I can eat what I can eat. And that is grass fed meat + pasture eggs.
Genetics is irrelevant as well. 😳
