Diet Doctor Podcast #8:
Dave Feldman
1,322 views Add as favorite
Dave Feldman has done more to call into question the lipid hypothesis of heart disease than practically anyone over the past few decades. His self experimentation and his theories on an energy model for lipids question the foundation of the theory that LDL is “bad” and we should all strive for a low level. He recently had his model “stress tested” on the Peter Attia podcast which for some created more questions than answers.
In this episode, we review his energy model and inversion pattern, and we explore what this means for low carb individuals with elevated LDL levels. Since there are no clear answers, it helps to explore the possibilities so that we can try to make sense of this unique and unstudied area of lipidology.
