Strategies for lowering Heart Disease causing ApoB with @NutritionMadeSimple

A collab made in heaven ... if we had a golden buzzer, this would be worthy, hands down! ❤

This is better than getting health information from chiropractors like "Dr.Berg" amongst others. 👍

Excellent, really enjoyed the collaboration between two of the most vetted scientists/Doctor on YouTube who always offer the most useful information for the masses that can be applied to improve everyone's health. Thank you 🙏🏽

- Lose weight - Diet: Change butter for unsaturated fat Use less saturated fat for cooking Dietary cholesterol doesn’t matter that much Genetics play a role Soluble fiber may help Fructose can increase Apob Soy bean may decrease apob - Supplements (red yeast, psyllium husk etc)

I love the two of you because you show the science and you don't sell any products!

Thankyou to the both of you for your excellent presentations.

YESSSS Finally a collab of my 2 most trusted "sources" :D

Love Gil’s knowledge and clarity!

I would like to see research that compares ApoB levels in those with elevated A1c and CRP levels and those with low levels of above markers.

Superb content, cool collaboration. God bless

You and Dr. Gil are my favorite two YouTubers and I can't thank you enough about the amazing work you both do and how you educated me about looking at the data. Having you both collaborate is truly a joy! I'm on Mediterranean diet for a long time but have high APOB, calcium score of 1 and early fatty liver. I have taken Dr. Gil's advice and started to exercise and reducing calories and plan to test again beginning of next year. My doctor just wants to put me on statins without trying anything else 🙂

Actually I felt this was poorly presented. Not that Gil's knowledge isn't there but felt his comments were disjointed and like he didn't have time to prepare. I think what needs to be emphasized first is how do people find out their ApoB ratio? Well, typically when you go to your Dr for a physical and they order a cholesterol (lipid panel) it really doesn't tell you much. You have to request an "advanced lipid panel"....most Dr's don't do it because insurance companies don't pay for it. Its relatively inexpensive (about $90.00) if you have to pay out of pocket, but will tell you so much more. Additionally when they order your blood panel make sure they are checking liver levels (if its a filtering issue as pointed out, it may be picked up here but more likely will give you a baseline to compare in the future when you make lifetstyle and diet changes to counter an unfavorable ApoB ration). Next get in touch with a nutritionist and review you diet---Be honest! Then if you are lacking exercise in your regiment and especially if you have a desk job and or are obese, contact a certified trainer regarding an exercise program then review that with your Dr. prior to starting (especially if you've been inactive for a number or years, are obese, and or over 40) The idea being 1. find out if you have an ApoB issue 2. Make sure you have the correct information relative to your condition and age. 3. Contact experts and arm them with specific personal information. 4. Review plans (diet and exercise) with you DR and set up a time frame to check progress and retest / monitor. As I said I think Gil has the knowledge but given the presentation seemed spur of the moment and left key factors not addressed. Also DR Peter Attia covers this subject well with a couple videos and interviews.

Very educational! Thank you very much!

reduction of receptors by using saturated fatty acids was interesting for me.

Im a cardiovascular doctor and have put patience on 500-1,000 mg of Niacin with a plant base diet, with 1 day water fast per week, and have seen drastic improvements with this is several patients. To counter some of the Niacin sides I've incorporated some light carbs when taking Niacin. Cheers.

Nick & Gil is the collab that we need in the online nutrition space. Thanks gents and happy holidays!

Very interesting, Nick. Thanks for sharing. Wonder what the mechanism is for fiber (psyllium husk) lowering ApoB?

Great content thank you

What would an alternative (or complement) to lowering ApoB look like? Maybe counteracting plaque formation by taking fibrinolytic enzymes? Nattokinase?

I started out at 335 lbs back in November 2023, at which time I decided to change my diet to give up all processed foods, all vegetable oils (except olive), all sugars, and limit my intake of grains to just a few bites per week. After losing 20 lbs, I started on the treadmill. I am now (end of January 2024) down to 295 lbs and have maintained my diet choices reliably. My Total Cholesterol when from 150 to 277. My LDL went from 84 to 214. Triglycerides fell from 161 to 117 (so that's good). Now I'm worried that the saturated fat I have put into my diet (cooking with rendered beef fat or butter), has reduced the number of LDL receptors in my Liver and is causing my LDL to skyrocket. Doctor never ordered the ApoB test or the test that measures the size of the LDL, but we plan to do so on the next blood test in June. I need an oil I can use to cook my scrambled eggs and vegetables with, and something to use when making stir fry meat and vegetables.
