Join Dr. Robert Kiltz and citizen scientist Dave Feldman for a deep dive into cholesterol, metabolic health, and the surprising science behind lean mass hyperresponders. In this conversation, they explore how ketogenic and carnivore diets impact lipid profiles, why LDL, HDL, and triglycerides may tell a different story than you think, and what new research reveals about cholesterol, heart disease, and personalized nutrition. Learn about the lipid energy model, the role of VLDL and LDL particles, and how diet, genetics, and lifestyle intersect in cardiovascular health.
