Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses how the traditional understanding and treatment of cholesterol as harmful is a health disaster. People are often scared into changing their healthy lifestyle because of high LDL cholesterol markers. The video argues that cholesterol is not inherently bad, and that the focus should be on balancing cholesterol levels in conjunction with addressing inflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. The video also emphasizes the importance of looking at multiple markers like increased blood glucose, increased blood insulin, increased long-term glucose, called a1c, increased triglycerides, decreased HDL high-density lipoproteins, and an increased ratio of total cholesterol to HDL, while not disregarding cholesterol numbers altogether.

Debating Cholesterol: Explaining the Effects of Keto and LDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol has always been a subject of controversy in the health world, but with the rise of low carb diets like Keto, the debate has intensified. Some people on Keto have noticed that their cholesterol levels have spiked, leading them to worry about their health. In this article, we will explain what is happening in the body when LDL cholesterol levels increase and provide some insights into dealing with this issue.
Understanding LDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat that is essential for the body’s normal function. It helps to produce hormones, vitamin D, and helps with digestion. However, when there is an excess of cholesterol in the body, it can build up in the arteries and cause blockages. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is often referred to as “bad” cholesterol because it is the type that can lead to plaque in the arteries.
Effects of Keto on LDL Cholesterol
Keto is a low carb, high fat diet that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The diet aims to put the body into ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. While Keto has been found to have many benefits, such as weight loss and improved blood sugar control, some people have seen their LDL cholesterol levels spike.
This is because Keto is a high-fat diet, and a diet high in saturated fat can increase LDL cholesterol. Additionally, when the body is burning fat for energy, more LDL cholesterol is needed to transport the fat through the bloodstream. This can cause a temporary increase in LDL cholesterol levels, even though it may not be harmful in the long run.
What to Do About High LDL Cholesterol
If you are concerned about high LDL cholesterol, it is important to speak with your doctor. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as exercise and a healthy diet, or medication such as statins. However, there are also natural ways to lower LDL cholesterol through diet and exercise.
A heart-healthy diet includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Exercise can also help to lower LDL cholesterol by increasing HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is the type of cholesterol that can protect against heart disease.
The Bottom Line
Cholesterol is a complex subject that is often misunderstood. While Keto can be a beneficial diet for many people, it is important to understand that it can cause an increase in LDL cholesterol levels. If you are concerned about high LDL cholesterol, it is important to speak with your doctor and make lifestyle changes to improve your cholesterol levels naturally.
