266 - You Feel Fine… Until You Don’t LDL, ApoB, Cholesterol, and the Drop Dead Years
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you feel great… but your blood work says something else?
In this episode, I break down my own labs after 2 years on a carnivore diet — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable truth. My triglycerides are low, HDL is high, glucose is solid… but my LDL and ApoB are through the roof.
This is the exact situation a lot of men in their 40s and 50s are facing right now.
You feel strong. You train hard. You think, “I’m good.”
But heart disease doesn’t care how you feel.
We’re going to unpack:
- What LDL, HDL, and ApoB actually do in your body
- Why you can feel amazing and still carry risk
- The difference between metabolic health and cardiovascular risk
- What carnivore and low-carb diets really do to your numbers
- Whether high LDL actually matters (and when it might not)
- Non-medical options to think through before jumping to conclusions
- The real pros and cons of statins and cholesterol medications
This isn’t fear-based. It’s not anti-carnivore. It’s not pro-medication.
It’s about understanding the game you’re playing — so you can make a smart decision for your life.
Because the goal isn’t to win a diet argument… it’s to be around for your family.
