My brutally short preamble to the Low Carb / Keto / Sat Fat debate in yesterday’s NIPC conference (we only had 5 minutes each!). By the way, CAC has just earned a coveted 2a recommendation in the latest US treatment guidelines – so if middle-aged and middle-risk, get out there and “Know Your Score” !
The original Cholesterol Conundrum was delivered way back in 2014. It explained how the lipoprotein transport system worked, to deliver energy (triglycerides) and also manage the crucial cholesterol cargo in the body. Now Part Two follows up…on why LDL particle counts may present a problem – for some people. But not for others…! There will
Delighted to have a fireside chat with Dave Feldman today in Washington, covering some key points raised during the latest Peter Attia Podcast. Some useful clarifications of Dave’s hypotheses. Remember that this is open and constructive scientific discussion – not medical advice – just the beauty of the science as we strive to clarify the
Rousing riff at Dublin Biohackers Group event last week. Should I pull punches in a wine bar beneath my native city? Nope, didn’t think so… 😉
Vinnie needs no introduction – we had another great chat on all that matters, and a little clarification on all that don’t. Callouts for Drs Mike Eades, Jeff Gerber and Ted Naiman – and Dr. Shawn Baker too… 🙂 https://vinnietortorich.com/2017/10/10-things-that-will-transform-your-health-with-ivor-cummins-episode-924/ Tip: just click the “Play Podcast” icon below the Splashscreen, especially if you don’t have
Had a great meal last night with Aseem, who was in Ireland for a TV interview organised by Maev Creaven (Aseem will be among the great speakers at Maev’s upcoming Irish event: https://fmcireland.com/home ). http://IHDA.ie‘s David Bobbett hosted the dinner; we had an vibrant discussion on the power of calcium scanning (CAC) and the nutritional
Had a great time a few weeks ago at Weston Price Munster event in Limerick, Ireland (www.wapfmunster.com/). Amazing crowd of smart people there – all learning about how a return to “wise traditions” could transform the health of the nation. And the world of course. Big thanks to Anne Maher and the team (Brendan, Deirdre
Physician’s for Ancestral Health have just released my talk from their Miami Retreat last month. You want to go a little deeper on the mechanisms of Hyperinsulinemia/IR? Ok then – here you go. With special thanks to Gabor Erdosi of the Lower Insulin facebook group – he has single-handedly decoded the early stages of this
Click on pic below for the post. Insulin ain’t everything, as I clearly point out in my talk. But most “cholesterol” or “dyslipidemia” problems are only a manifestation of insulin/glucose dysregulation. There are many other causal agents for heart disease too – it is of course multifactorial. But running after cholesterol is a rather silly
Interview was informative for the average person I think – kept it high level enough hopefully. Time to start waking Ireland up some. Jemma Kehoe was super conductor and made it easy 🙂 The show is “Health Matters” and it’s a great resource for emerging health science: http://www.wlrfm.com/shows/48-health-matters/ We covered “cholesterol”, diabetes, hyperinsulin, population health
