“A low-carb diet for 4 weeks reversed metabolic syndrome without weight loss in 50% of the study participants. The low-carb diet also decreased triglycerides and improved LDL cholesterol metabolism by decreasing small, dense LDL particles.”

“The authors of the advisory concluded that 4 grams per day of EPA and DHA are effective and safe for reducing triglycerides either alone or as an adjunct to cholesterol-reducing drugs like statins. Link to full advisory.”

“Understanding a person's unique metabolic profile—as well as their microbiome—may be essential for preventing or managing conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Learn more about the gut microbiome's role in regulating blood glucose and cholesterol in this clip featuring Dr. Michael Snyder, the lead investigator on this study.”

“Second, the liver enzyme ALT showed a significant decrease in the NRPT 1X group at both day 30 and day 60. Third, a small increase in total and LDL cholesterol was observed in the NRPT 1X group at day 60 and larger increases in the NRPT 2X groups.”

“However, they did not have an increased prevalence of high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, or increased inflammation.”

“The study found very surprising results. Consuming either bread type improved cholesterol levels and improved markers of inflammation. The glycemic response was also dependent on the person's gut microbiome composition and not bread type.”

“Sauna use 4-7 times per week had the most robust effects. This review is authored by Dr. Jari Laukkanen. His research has shown that frequent sauna bathing reduces blood pressure, inflammation, oxidative stress, cholesterol, arterial stiffness, and vascular resistance.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of medical conditions that includes high blood pressure, high blood glucose, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal fat. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.”

“This leaves meaningful room for prevention even after atherosclerosis has already developed. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia and I discuss how cholesterol-carrying particles, blood pressure, smoking, and insulin resistance contribute to heart disease risk.”

“HDL-C can support cholesterol removal and have anti-inflammatory effects, yet it is often reduced or dysfunctional in NAFLD, contributing to liver fat buildup. Cystatin C is linked to metabolic disturbances and inflammation, both central to disease progression.”
