“Unlike antibody treatments that target the PCSK9 protein (an important regulator of blood cholesterol levels), which are very expensive, base editing could deliver permanent protection from hypercholesterolemia with just one dose.”

“In a clinical trial, researchers subjected people to three cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet and measured biomarkers including cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, IGF-1, blood pressure, and C-reactive protein.”

“The brain uses special transporters to enrich itself with DHA Transcytotic vesicles often form in lipid rafts, areas of the cellular membrane enriched with saturated fats and cholesterol that stabilize the vesicle structure.”

“To look for functional mitochondrial effects, Dr. Attia uses controlled Zone 2 work while sampling lactate, with output near 2 mmol/L. He says statins have not produced the clear lactate-performance changes he sees with metformin.”

“Lipid results varied, and berberine was not superior to statins or routine care for several cholesterol measures. Dr. Patrick also discusses berberine as an adjunct to standard therapy rather than a stand-alone replacement.”

“Within days of eliminating refined sugar, biomarkers of inflammation decrease markedly, and blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels improve. Risk of type 2 diabetes drops by nearly 25 percent.”

“In fact, reductions in cholesterol were actually associated with an increased death risk—about 22% per every 30 ng/dL reduction in total cholesterol. Is this a vindication of saturated fat and an indictment of vegetable oils?”

“Oat beta-glucan is a viscous, fermentable soluble fiber that can reduce bile-acid reabsorption and help lower LDL cholesterol. In this clip from Q&A #80, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why dose, viscosity, and processing matter.”

“The triglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio combines two routine lipid values and can serve as a practical signal of insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Prospective studies have associated a higher ratio with coronary and cardiovascular mortality in men and with all-cause mortality in women evaluated for ischemia.”

“Brewing method changes the compounds that reach the cup. In a six-month randomized trial of 46 healthy adults, five to six strong cups of cafetière coffee per day raised LDL cholesterol and alanine aminotransferase relative to paper-filtered coffee.”
