Is High Cholesterol and the Carnivore Diet a Risk for Heart Disease? – Dr. Philip Ovadia

If you are interested in getting bloodwork that can be analyzed by a keto/Carnivore practice, which includes all the different insulin markers we shared, as well as the LP-IR and NMR cholesterol panel, you can learn more here: www.nutritionwithjudy.com/shopping/lab-work/comple… (You can also ask your practitioner covered under insurance to run these same markers). We will never know 100% of risks but the more we know and understand, the better we can make improvements to our lifestyle.

Love Dr. Ovadia! And all the other doctors who support this WOE.

Really valuable interview. Judy you had some spot on questions for Dr. Ovadia. I just wish interviews like this were presented to doctors and medical students so they understand the real reasons for development of heart disease. 👏🇦🇺

Great Interview! Dr Ovadia saves lives! Very smart man! Just take the time to listen to his advise. I am 72 and in perfect health due to my diet change thanks to him.

I hope you’re right Dr. Ovadia. I’m 65 years old and a three year carnivore. I had a heart attack three weeks ago. Complete Widowmaker blockage, they inserted three stents. Apparently I have heart damage, but I’m walking 3 miles a day to hopefully improve my condition. Perpetually gasping for air lol! Everyone I know is doing their best to blame my heart attack on the carnivore diet. And yes, I’m on all the medications now, including Lipitor. I was on no medications prior to this heart attack. I would like to get off these meds as soon as possible but I’m going to listen to my cardiologist for the time being. Of course he’s old-school telling me no more saturated fat. I feel so alone and could use some words of encouragement. Thank you!

Thank you for this!!! Not one cardiologist looked into why I had a heart attack so early in life. Not one!!! So thankful I found Carnivore!!!

Thank you for this interview and the questions you asked. My husband needs to hear this.

Thanks so much to both of you for this important and informative conversation!!! Everyone needs to hear this! ❤

Great coverage, great questions Judy!

I love this information, can you do a video on kidneys; that is another common health concern related to insulin resistance and diabetes but often blame high protein diet for wrecking kidneys or being hard on kidneys.

Love saved my heart.

What a magical idea in terms of medical science. Salute you.

I hear about people freaking out with CAC scores in the single digits, yet I have had a score of 7,000 for years and still here. I may not be here tomorrow, but I don't spend my time worrying, which just makes things worse.

Great questions! It demonstrates a good command of the physiology and current concerns. Thanks.

It is really unfortunate that the Calcium Scoring Test isn't covered by insurance. You would think if it has significant value it would be deemed to be part of the assessment guidelines for your cardiac health. But of course it isn't. That needs to change. When it does I will get it. People pay, at least I do, lots of money for insurance premiums and yet I can't get this simple test done unless I fork over $200.00 Just nuts. Dr. Ovadia is just the best. Always clear and concise. Helps me become armed with the right blood test to get my Dr. to order.

I was sent to cardiologist twice for Afib, yet I am fine, thank God. But I think it may have been from intermmittent fasting improperly. Perhaps low electrolytes. Was fasting on sardines for 86 hrs. But 1st. Afib happened a few days later when I restarted to fast

Shared on my social media. Thanks!

Such a levelheaded Dr, love him. Good job, Judy!

This was a good one! 😁👍👏👏👏

My CAC score dropped from 11 to zero in the first 3.5 years of carnivore.😀 Age 69.
