In one word: Excersise . Increasing Vo2 max has by far the greatest impact on Insuline resistance and Apo B Levels. Furthermore : Eggs.Reducing egg consuption is a mistake.Olive oil. If possible use solely extra virgin olive oil for all purposes. Sleep. Uninterupted 8-9 hours of everyday sleep ,at regular times ( btw ,i am a Cardiologist )

Steve this video is one of the most helpful I have seen on Apo B
-
What a humble & honest presentation. Like you, my ApoB was 160 mg/dL. As a hunter/fisherman, I struggled to give up these things but committed myself to a low-fat whole plant food diet with no oil, dairy, salt, or booze 22 months ago. The only times I ate fish was while doing 3 different survival challenges here on my channel. Currently, I am at 81 mg/dL which is 49.5% decrease with no medication. Good luck getting your ApoB into the safe range.

Hi Steve, thanks for sharing your diet changes and lab results with everyone. I will turn 54 in September and am have spent the last 3 months really looking into how to improve my overall health ( ApoB levels/ A1C) and the age related optics of getting older ( hair and skin). Thanks again for sharing!

Another GREAT informational video! Thank you doesn't seem enough for these, but THANK YOU!! Lives are being changed (educated) as we move with greater insight and clarity as we continue to look for a horomone optimizing doctor/practioner. Thanks again for all you are doing to assist so many of us!

Thank you! I am always skeptical of these titles on YT. You've clearly shared your story and reiterated how it worked for you, but may not work for others. You've certainly inspired me to get my APoB tested!

I will ask my doc for an ApoB test, but my experiene was the opposite. When I turned 50 I went on a low-fat diet for about 5 years on my doctor's advice because my total cholesterol was slightly over 200 and HDL only in the 40's. I was eating lean chicken, fruit and lots of greens/salads with olive oil. So around 54-55 years of age I developed a lot of joint and severe back pain that would put me out of action for a few days at a time. I could barely get out of bed and had a hard time getting up from a chair or couch. I was never overweight (6'1 190 lbs). I walked and lift some light weights during my 'low fat" days. I also had stomach/bowel issues, gas and bloating. My wife and I decided to go more with the keto-vore diet eating more red meat & fish, bacon & eggs, and hardly any greens, and of course 0 to very low carbs. We limited greens to cooked spinach once or twice a week to get magnesium that meat & fish does not offer in any meaningful quantities. We also started supplementing Magnesium Glycinate and vitamin C. Within 1-2 weeks all my aches and pains were gone! Headaches were gone and just felt better overall. I was able to start walking 2 miles again and lift weights more frequently because I did not have muscle aches like before. We eat red meat 2x/week, Fish 2x/wk, Chicken 2x/wk and Pork 1x/week. Most morning is 3-4 eggs with bacon or sausage. After 3 months HDL went up from 46 to 56 and Triglycerides down by 20% to under 100. My wife's HDL went from 55 to 76 (!!) and her Thyroid tests showed completely normal, and her doctor lowered her Thyroid dosage! I forgot to mention I stopped taking my Statin (Zocor) when I started the keto/carnivore diet and my Lipids panel looked a lot better without the medication after 90 days. LDL went up some, but that's to be expected and not necessarily a bad thing. I believe exercise is equally important as a good diet. My wife is a bit more active than me because she works around the yard and the house, whereas I work from home and sit for 10-12 hours/day, and her blood tests are better than mine, even though we eat the same exact foods.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Great to hear that you were able to reduce your ApoB levels without drugs
-
Thanks that gave me some good ideas to explore. Much appreciated.
-
This was great information my friend! Thanks 👍🏻🇨🇦
-
Thanks for the honest video on this. Very good.
-
This is very reasonable advice! Thank you for posting this
-
I'm inspired.. I have to see if such tests have been done for me this past year. Thanks for another great informative video.
-
Great video. Clear and concise.
-
N=1... THankyou for sharing your experience and not trying to pretend to be an expert! It's so refreshing to get opinions without bieng an ignorant influencer with flawed information.
-
Excellent common sense information…will be ordering the APOB test in the near future…thanks!
-
Very informative!!! Thanks!
-
awesome job! well done.
-
What a breath of fresh air you are!! I had started implementing many of these things and drove my LDL down 150 points to just below 300. The biggest changes I made were decreasing saturated fat to around 15g per day (10% of total calories) and increasing carbs and fiber via fermented oats, nuts and seeds, as keto is what skyrocketed the cholesterol. Thank you for the confirmation that I’m (hopefully!) on the right track! I will get an ApoB test with my next blood draw, historically it had been around 180!

Thank you for this. I can’t sleep and it’s 3 AM. I decided to open YouTube and there this video was. I appreciate your sharing. I am now going to make life changes, I. Particular food.
