171. July 2022 Bloodwork Review!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s podcast, Paul reviews his most recent bloodwork, in detail, in comparison to his past blood work that was taken while eating a strictly carnivore diet. He touches on overall benefits of an animal based diet, and reiterates why “high” LDL cholesterol does not cause atherosclerosis.</span></p> <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><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:09:05 Podcast begins</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:10:30 What does Paul eat?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:13:30 The importance of fasting insulin and the problems with mainstream bloodwork interpretation</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:16:15 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Fasting insulin, Hemoglobin A1C, and Fasting glucose) </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:23:30 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Lipids and cholesterol levels)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:35:00 Why does LDL rise on an animal based diet?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:44:50 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Inflammation and Calcification)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:49:45 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Homocysteine)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:54:20 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:59:15 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Thyroid)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">01:00:20 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Metabolic Hormones)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">01:04:30 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Kidney Health, Electrolytes, Bone Health, Blood Health)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">01:10:30 Diving into Paul’s lab work (Vitamins & Minerals)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">01:11:30 End of most recent blood work analysis</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1:12:00 Thoughts on uric acid and TMAO</span></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heart & Soil:</span> <a href="http://www.heartandsoil.co"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.heartandsoil.co</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></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;">Colima Salt:</span> <a href="http://drpaulsalt.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">drpaulsalt.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a free bag of Colima Sea Salt</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 get $150 off your order</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Primal Pastures:</span> <a href="http://www.primalpastures.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.primalpastures.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, use code CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order</span></p>
