168. Why I don't worry about my cholesterol

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician, I have come to one very disappointing conclusion:  Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, Paul shares why he does not feel that his elevated LDL is a problem and why you may reconsider your doctor's suggestion that your elevated LDL cholesterol is too high. He also explains how to become insulin sensitive.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:09:58 Podcast begins</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:12:45 Fish consumption linked with melanoma</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:17:22 The sun is not harmful to humans </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:18:25 What is cholesterol?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:31:33 Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:34:15 Why Paul doesn’t worry about his “elevated“ LDL</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:36:40 LDL does not injure the endothelium of our cells</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:39:30 How do we know if we are insulin sensitive/insulin resistant?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:40:30 Cases of atherosclerosis without elevated LDL</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:58:50 Lipids & the immune system</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1:00:00 Foods for healthy cholesterol and insulin sensitivity </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1:01:30 Testimonial on removing seed oils</span></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">White Oak Pastures:</span> <a href="http://www.whiteoakpastures.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.whiteoakpastures.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, use code CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order or Carnivore5 for 5% off subsequent orders</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bon Charge:</span> <a href="https://boncharge.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://boncharge.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, use code BONCHARGE for 25% off your order</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eight Sleep:</span> <a href="http://www.eightsleep.com/carnivoremd"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.eightsleep.com/carnivoremd</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to receive exclusive Fourth of July savings</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Colima Salt:</span> <a href="http://bit.ly/carnivoresalt"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bit.ly/carnivoresalt</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,  for a free bag of Colima Sea Salt</span></p>
