Cholesterol for years has been wrongly demonized due to research provided by Ancel Keys termed as the lipid hypothesis. Much like the belief that eating fat will make you fat we have been led to believe that eating foods which contain cholesterol will raise your cholesterol and give you heart problems. Fortunately, we are now understanding the truth behind cholesterol due to the excellent research found in books such as The Great Cholesterol Myth.

This podcast episode breaks down the research found in The Great Cholesterol Myth and covers important topics such as:

• What is cholesterol?
• Is cholesterol bad?
• What is HDL, LDL, and VLDL?
• What does cholesterol do in the body?
• How to test cholesterol and read the test results?
• How eat for improved cholesterol levels?
• What's the real culprit behind bad cholesterol and heart disease.

Be ready to take notes and understand the truth behind cholesterol in this episode. Alway's remember to do everything with good intentions and connect to your elements.

The Great Cholesterol Myth book

Hey, what's going on, everybody.

Welcome back to the elemental oven show.

Today's a wellness Wednesday episode, which means that it is

going to be a full length episode.

And today it might even end up being a little bit longer

than a full length episode.

I usually try to keep them to about 30 to 45 minutes.

But this is a very important topic and is going to, uh, you know, require a

lot of in-depth talking and explaining because it is, uh, very important

and you know, there's a lot of moving parts to our health in general.

So I want to make sure that I am providing you with a full story on

the topics that I'm covering and also give you tips and tricks to.

It apply to your life after this show and really better your health, right?

I'm always trying to give you guys actionable steps to take away from

each And today's episode is actually on a topic that I've been wanting

to cover for a really long time now.

And it is just today that I feel ready and comfortable to provide this knowledge to

all of you, because I was still learning about this topic and that is cholesterol.

So cholesterol is obviously a very, very.

Well known and important topic in the health and wellness field.

Um, you know, we have statin drugs to help lower cholesterol.

We have, you know, all this talk about lowering cholesterol in our body.

Uh, because it causes heart, you know, heart problems.

Uh, constricting of the arteries and plaque buildup, right?

You have all this kind of talk around cholesterol.

And I think that we really just don't even have a very solid understanding

of what cholesterol even is and what it's doing in the body.

So what I want to do today is provide

The knowledge that I have discovered on cholesterol

specifically, I will be referencing.

Mainly throughout this entire podcast, a book called the great cholesterol myth.

I highly recommend reading this book because it is incredible

in explaining cholesterol.

Where we went wrong with our ideas on cholesterol and really how to better

your cholesterol levels and, uh, you know, how to read your test levels,

things like that, which I will be covering in this podcast episode.

I want to make it in a more condensed, uh, easy to digest format for you obviously.

But nonetheless, it's a really great book and that is where I'm going to be

drawing a lot of my information from.

So if you care to fact check or check it out or anything like that, this

will be the book that I'm using.

And you can always go look back at it.

But without further ado, let's get into this episode

One last piece before I do start explaining everything, there is going

to be some terminology in here that might be a little bit difficult for

you to understand here and there.

Um, it is a little, you know, medical terminology.

Uh, don't get hung up on that.

I will try to clarify as much as I can.

But just kind of follow along and I promise it will all make sense.

And it's really not that much medical terminology, but just a little bit.

So it might get a little wordy.

Uh, but I will try to break that up and explain.

So anyways, what is cholesterol?

That is probably the best place to start is obviously understanding

what the heck this thing is.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance, technically a sterile.

That is an important constituent of cell membranes.

The vast majority of cholesterol in the body is made in the liver while

the rest is absorbed from the diet.

So.

You know, for example, I even think of my prior knowledge to this.

I kind of thought that cholesterol was something we

only got through our diet, right.

Like, oh, trying to not eat the egg yolk because of the high cholesterol levels.

Right.

So, um, kind of my.

Uh, my naive newness or lack of information here, um, was kind of thinking

that, oh yeah, like cholesterol just came through the diet, Uh, majority of

it is actually made in the liver and not just a majority, but a vast majority.

Right.

Cholesterol is the basic raw material that your body uses to make vitamin D yes.

Vitamin D that really, really important.

Uh, vitamin, which is actually more so a hormone that everyone is always talking

about is made through cholesterol.

Right?

So obviously vitamin D is also not just from cholesterol, it's from

sunlight, but it is the combination of sunlight with cholesterol.

So the very important vitamin D comes from cholesterol or is

sorry, made through cholesterol.

Um, Cholesterol is also the basic raw material.

Uh, used by your body to make sex hormones such as estrogen progesterone.

And testosterone.

And the bile acids needed for digestion.

So cholesterol is not just sitting there.

Plaquing up your arteries, right?

It does very, very important things in the body.

And I think that's so important to understand, right?

We don't just have things in our body for no reason.

We have them in there because they serve some kind of a function.

And usually, uh, the, what do they say the dose is the poison, right?

Or the amount or quality or types or whatever.

Uh, is going to be the poison.

So cholesterol.

Uh, this is going to lead me to my next question, which is,

is cholesterol good or bad?

Well, the very short answer is obviously no, right?

Uh, cholesterol is vital for tons of functions in the body.

And in fact, cholesterol now get this makes up 75% of your brain.

Your brain is made up of 75% cholesterol.

K.

That is about 20% of all of the cholesterol in your

body is just in your brain.

So cholesterol is not only good for you.

It is absolutely crucial and vital for your body, for your brain to even

be where, you know, to be made up.

Right.

So it is definitely, definitely vital.

So what makes cholesterol bad is far more intricate.

Okay.

It deals with both the type of cholesterol along with the triglyceride levels.

Uh, stress , oxidation and inflammation in the body.

, now let's go ahead and kind of discuss a couple of very common terms that

you will definitely hear whenever you're talking about cholesterol.

And that would be, you know, LDL and HDL mainly.

And then also we'll throw VLDL in there as well.

So, what are those cholesterol is transported by a carrier

protein called a lipoprotein.

And these lipoproteins vary in density from high density to low density,

and then also very low density.

So.

When we look at these terms, HDL, for example, that is high density.

Lipoprotein LDL would be low density lipoprotein, and the LDL would

be very low density lipoprotein.

Now, typically the HDL is thought of as the healthy cholesterol and the

LDL and LDL, sorry, LDL and V L D L are thought of as the bad cholesterol.

However through the book, the great class.

Cholesterol myth.

Sorry, I'm getting tongue tied.

He really breaks down how.

Even though HDL is thought of as the good one and LDL is the bad one.

There's actually more to it.

There's different types of each one.

So for example,

When we take H uh, HDL, the high density lipoprotein, you have different

types such as HDL two, which is the most beneficial and HDL three,

which is the smaller and more dense particle, which can be inflammatory.

So even in, you know, HDL, we actually have two different kinds that, you

know, one is better and one is worse.

So it's a little bit more intricate, right?

It's not just so cut and dry.

When it comes to LDL, for example, you also have different types of, uh, LDL,

such as LDL a, which is buoyant and fluffy and does no As long as it's not

damaged by oxidation, which oxidation is a process caused by free radicals

that enables cholesterol to form plaque.

Okay.

So oxidation equals cholesterol forming plaque.

Okay.

Let's just kind of.

Make it a little bit easier there.

Uh, you also have LDL B, which is a small, hard, dense molecule that

promotes atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of cholesterol

plaque in the walls of arteries.

Then you have LP lowercase, Which is a very small, highly inflammatory particle

that is responsible for blood clotting.

Right?

So it's actually in terms of blood clotting, it's good.

It is doing, you know, plays a very specific role in

the body that's necessary.

And, uh, when it's in low levels in a healthy person, That's fine.

Uh, but it can.

Cause inflammation and lead to plaque.

Right?

If you have high levels of it or just inappropriate levels.

And, uh, so yeah, so this item, the LP lowercase a while it is a good thing.

It can also be a bad thing.

Like I said, the dose is the poison or the type is the poison.

Right.

So that kind of breaks down the LDL and HDL.

Right?

So, uh, LDL.

Which was thought of as being bad, not necessarily completely bad.

Right.

And HDL, which was thought of as good, not necessarily completely good.

Uh, and it's really focusing here on the lipo protein, right?

The carrier of the cholesterol.

So the cholesterol itself, not a bad thing more.

So the carrier, the type of carrier is what's bad.

But it's not even necessarily that those are bad.

It's the combination of other, uh, effects that with those specific

types of LDR HDL, make them bad.

So.

Let's go ahead and talk a little bit about how cholesterol

became quote unquote bad, right?

So you have this guy named Ancel keys.

PhD, a researcher came up with the lipid hype, a hypothesis concluding that

excess cholesterol caused heart disease.

He believed that dietary fats and specifically saturated fats raised

cholesterol levels and clogged arteries.

Okay.

I think this is the narrative for most people.

I think when we were growing up, um, you know, In the.

We like maybe okay.

If you're really young, maybe not so much, but if you are, you know, 20

years or older, you probably heard this theory of, you know, don't eat

saturated fats, you know, that's how you're going to clog your arteries.

And.

Uh, have high levels of cholesterol.

So that's where it came from was Ancel keys, right?

He's the one who came up with this lipid hypothesis.

Well turns out that a diet high in fat, especially saturated

Decreases not increases, decreases the amount of dense LDL.

The so-called.

Bad cholesterol naturally while a low fat.

A higher carb diet increases their numbers.

So once again, I'm just going to repeat A diet high in fat, especially

saturated fat decreases the amount of dense LDL, the bad cholesterol, right?

Naturally while the low fat higher carb diet increases their numbers.

So literally.

The inverse here, like just completely the opposite of what

this ancil keys was saying.

Right.

Also, I think it is worth noting.

That the market for cholesterol, lowering drugs, such as statins is

worth more than $30 billion a year.

That is very important to mention because let's not play games.

Money is definitely a motivator, right.

And $30 billion is a ton of money.

So not saying that, you know, that is the only thing people are

looking at, but it is something we do need to take into consideration.

Right.

There are other factors that influence right.

So.

Let's go ahead and talk about what would be the real culprit.

So the real culprit.

Uh, according to this book.

Is inflammation, oxidation, stress and sugar.

When it comes to heart disease, which is the number one killer in the us.

It's caused by sugar, not cholesterol.

Sugar contributes to inflammation in the artery walls and is the missing link in

diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

When you have high sugar intake, you end up raising not only your

blood pressure, but you also raise your cholesterol levels.

Plus when you eat sugar and processed carbs, you raise your

triglyceride levels, which are also associated with heart disease.

Get this.

When sugar in the bloodstream sticks to proteins, it creates

damaging toxic molecules called advanced glycation end products.

A G E.

Okay.

And this same process, also damages L D L, contributing to inflammation

and ultimately heart disease.

Get that sugar out of your diet.

That's essentially what I'm taking away from there.

Um, when you lower your sugar and carbs specifically processed carbs.

Um, you will reduce your triglyceride levels and lower your fasting insulin

levels, which will reduce your risk for heart disease, as well as things

like diabetes, uh, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and even possibly cancer.

Seriously, seriously, get sugar out of the diet.

And I'll explain a little bit more, um, specifically on the sugar, but, uh,

just in general, really try to limit it.

We are eating way too much sugar.

Um, I have done an episode on sugar in the past, but.

Just to give you a quick heads up on how much sugar we're eating

on the low end here in the U S it

Uh, said somewhere around 70 pounds of sugar a Which honestly is on the low end.

Uh, it's more likely that it is actually somewhere around a

hundred pounds of sugar a year.

Which is wild.

You can go look up a bag of a 50 pound bag of sugar online, and it is, you know,

it's larger than a bag of cement, right?

Like two of those bad boys would be like a full wheelbarrow of sugar.

And that is what we're eating per year.

Okay.

So we definitely need to reduce Okay, sorry.

Let's get back to the cholesterol here.

So.

In terms of getting your cholesterol tested.

And I think this is very, very important for us to have this knowledge, right?

Because you can get these tests done, but we are definitely relying on

the expertise of our doctors, which, you know, no bashing on the doctors.

I know they're doing their best jobs POS or they're, you know, the

best work possible that they can do.

Um, but we also need to be informed so that we can make the

right decisions for ourselves.

Right.

So, let me cover a little bit of the test results and how to read them.

So.

You can measure your cholesterol with a new, uh, sorry, a newer particle test,

which will tell you how much of your LDL is the type a and how much is the type B.

Measure the number of actual particles and the amount of the potentially

dangerous LP, a, the lowercase, a right.

This, according to the great cholesterol myth is the most important information.

If you get those three numbers.

Uh, and you can see like where their levels are at, according

to the book, that is the most important information for us to have.

So this type of test will give you the important info, not like the

standard cholesterol test, which is what most doctors go off of and

give Statens out based on this test.

Right?

So, uh, when you go in.

Ask for these, uh, particle tests.

Okay.

And, uh, they are going to give you a more in-depth look, not just

the overall cholesterol, right?

Remember the particle test is way more specific.

And if you have more of the type, a L D L, then that's great.

If you have more of the type B LDL, then that's not so good

as that's the stuff that causes inflammation and ultimately plaque.

Right.

Okay.

So now that we've kind of gotten through what cholesterol is, um, you

know, how to read our tests and, uh, you know, understanding HDL and LDL.

Uh, let's go ahead and talk about the actual steps that we can start taking

today to make sure that we are having.

You know, high quality cholesterol in our bodies and, uh, you

know, proper levels of them.

So.

The number one Uh, is to start getting rid of this stuff that is

causing the bad levels of cholesterol.

Right.

Which you already obviously know what number one is going

to be, and that is sugar.

Get rid of sugar.

So.

I say, get rid of sugar.

Mainly in the form of added sugars.

Okay.

Because we don't tend to think about how much sugar is in, you know, that can

of Coke or that bottle of Gatorade or that sweet tea, or, uh, you know, any

of those sweetened beverages that you drink, even some of the healthy drinks

that you think are really good for.

You are not good for you.

They have so much sugar, even, you know, looking at juice.

For example, if you take orange juice, A glass of orange juice

practically has the same amount of sugar as a can of Coca-Cola.

Okay.

There's a ton of sugar in so much stuff out There's tons of sugar

in obviously, you know, candy, but there's also baked goods.

Have a ton of sugar, uh, sauces like marinara sauce

actually has a lot of sugar.

Uh, peanut peanut butter can have sugar in it.

There's uh, dressings for your salads, you know, marinades for your

meats, all those things have sugar.

So you really need to get good at reading labels and looking at how much sugar is in

that bottle of whatever you're purchasing.

That is the number one thing that you need to start doing is

becoming aware of your sugar intake.

Okay.

Number two, processed carbs.

So the book kind of just mainly says carbs.

I broke it down more into processed carbs because I don't believe all carbs are bad.

Obviously if you're eating a ton of carbs all the time and you're really

not doing any physical exercise.

K yeah.

That's not going to be a good thing, but let's more so focused on the

processed carbs because I think that's going to have the major impact

Which these process carbs can come in the form of, you know, fast food.

Uh, you know, there's so much processed carbs in pretty much all

of the fast foods, all the fast food items that you're eating.

Uh, this will also be like baked goods.

You know, there's a tons of, there's tons of carbs in there as well.

Uh, that really need to be, you know, avoided at all costs.

Obviously you can have some, but truly that is where we are getting a ton

of these processed carbs in right.

And on top of that, they're usually loaded with very harmful ingredients, like seed

oils, um, you know, the canola, the soy, the corn, the vegetable oils, right?

Like all of that is usually in there.

You've got typically more sugar in those processed carbs.

You have coloring agents, right.

Which are really bad for you and you have preservatives.

So, uh, you definitely want to stay away from those and kind of move more

into, you know, healthier carbs, like.

Vegetables tend to have carbs.

Certain vegetables have carbs.

Some fruits have carbs as well.

Uh, sweet potatoes.

They're a really good form of carbs.

And, um, you know, if you are going to have a grain, you could have

some white rice here and there.

Um, you know, really trying to stay more to a whole food source.

And when I say whole food, it just basically looks more like

where it came Obviously a sweet potato looks like a sweet potato.

Whereas, I don't know a cinnamon roll, which obviously is delicious.

It does not look like anything in the wild necessarily.

So the other things to avoid or get rid of are once again, I already kind

of touched on this, but the bad oils.

So vegetable oil, canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, margarine.

Um, any of those.

Oils that are easily, uh, oxidize or become rancid.

Uh, those are the ones you want to avoid and then especially trans fat.

Um, typically there's not a whole lot of trans fat going on nowadays by,

uh, if you are eating trans fats, then definitely get those out of your diet.

And then lastly, we have processed meats.

Uh, you want to avoid processed meats for a few reasons, but really I

The, the main takeaway here is that.

You don't have to avoid meat, but just rather the processed meat.

So go ahead and just cook up a steak and then You know, slice it nicely,

and then you can have whatever kind of a sandwich you want and it's

gonna taste way better for you.

Right.

But it's not going to have all those additives, um, that you really don't

want to be ingesting that are going to mess with your cholesterol levels.

So.

Uh, when you are.

Trying to get rid of those.

I would say, just go ahead and buy some actual meat and then go ahead and cook

it up and, you know, thinly slice it.

And it's going to taste way better anyway, so those are going to be things

to watch out for sugar processed carbs.

Uh, the bad oils and processed

So, what can you start eating now?

The things you can start adding in.

There's a bunch, there's some really, really good stuff here that is all

going to be super healthy for you.

And, uh, you know, honestly, I feel like a broken record here because these are

the things that I always talk about, but.

Nonetheless here we are.

And, you know, it's, uh, it's worth mentioning every single time.

So, uh, you know, wild salmon.

Barry's right.

Berries are going to be really low in sugar.

They're going to have some really good health properties to them.

Grass fed meat.

Right?

So grass fed beef grass fed bison.

Uh, grassfed lamb.

Those kinds of meats are going to be very healthy for you.

They're going to have good saturated fats in them.

Right.

Vegetables healthy nuts, like macadamia nuts or pistachios, dark chocolate.

And dark We really want to focus on, uh, typically 80% and Uh,

the darker, the better, really.

So.

75 is still going to be good, but really definitely want to shoot

for that 80% above, uh, tumeric.

And, uh, you know, tumeric is in a lot of like Indian curries Uh,

you can also add it to your eggs.

There's a lot of ways to, uh, add that in as well.

It's very anti-inflammatory you also have green tea, which by the way, dark

chocolate and tumeric that comes in the gold chocolate from Organifi, which.

If you listen to my podcast.

Once again, I'm like a broken record here, but it is my hands down.

Favorite nighttime drink?

Uh, it's like a cup of hot cocoa before going to bed.

Uh, taste delicious and it has tumeric and chalk and cacao in it,

which are obviously very good for the cholesterol levels, but it also

has things like Rishi and magnesium.

Uh, to help you really get into a good mode for sleep and

get a restful night's sleep.

So, uh, that one, and then also the green tea.

If you have the green juice from Organifi, they have macho in there.

And once again, it's just super tasty.

So it's easy to actually consume these items like the dark chocolate

and the tumeric, uh, dark.

Chocolate's pretty easy obviously to consume unless you

don't like super bitter stuff.

Um, but tumor, it can be a little bit harder to consume.

So that's a really nice way of getting it.

And then, you know, getting macho, it's super easy to just throw in some.

Some water with the mix and blend it up and shoot it back.

And it has, you know, spirulina, chlorella, um, ashwagandha, all these

other different kinds of things in there that are also really great

So if you want to go ahead and try those out, go ahead and check out Organifi.

You get a 20% discount code just for being a listener to this Uh,

so go ahead and check them out.

I will have them linked in the show notes and I believe they

already apply the code at checkout.

Uh, but if not, I'll have the code in there as well.

So just click that link.

And then go ahead and get yourself some delicious dark.

Uh, chocolate gold.

You can try the normal gold as well, but I just love the dark.

The chocolate gold.

Cause like I said, it has the cacao in there as well.

It tastes like hot chocolate and the green juice is a really beneficial

way of getting your day started.

Okay.

On top of that, we also have pomegranates.

We have high quality, extra Virgin olive oil.

Uh, both of those are incredible.

You should be including those in your diet.

When it comes to high quality, extra Virgin olive oil.

I always, always, always recommend getting all the oil that is cold pressed.

Extra-virgin organic.

Uh, and in a dark glass bottle, very, very important also.

If you live alone or it's just you and one other person do not

buy a huge bottle of olive oil.

Uh, get a smaller bottle.

It's going to stay fresh.

Uh, for the time that you have it, right?

Because we have a massive bottle and you're having it for a long period

of time, just gives it more of a chance to become oxidizer rented.

So I like to buy smaller bottles and, you know, get through

it in a reasonable amount of

And then the very last one Which is, I think very underrated because

people still kind of view this as woo or a little out there, but the

benefits of this are insane and there is a ton of science backing it up.

New information is coming out on it all the time.

And that is breath work.

So to lower your stress levels.

Do some breathing, some breathing practices can do

wonders for your stress levels.

There.

Uh, so we're specifically talking about the slower type breathing where you

are doing maybe a five second inhale.

Uh, combined with a five second exhale or maybe a four second

inhale seven second exhale.

Right?

So kind of focusing on a longer slower exhale.

This is really going to stimulate the Vegas nerve and it is going to

put you into your parasympathetic state, which is your rest and digest.

Hence lowering stress levels, lowering anxiety

Getting you into this stress state, which is truly, truly beneficial for

way more than just even cholesterol.

And, uh, the, uh, you know, The clogging of arteries and all of

that, it's also going to really benefit just your heart, your mind,

your overall sense of wellbeing.

And it's going to put you at ease.

I do breath work literally every day.

It is a non-negotiable for me.

Um, I do it morning and night, morning.

I usually do more of a stimulating type, but in the evening time I

will do a slower type breath work.

That just helps get me ready for bed and put me into a rest and calm state so

that my mind is not thinking about all the stuff that I have to do tomorrow.

So, uh, definitely give that a try.

If you don't know where to start with breath work, a

few things that you could do.

You could obviously just hop on YouTube and check out a few things there.

Uh, I have a friend Sandy.

Uh, breathe with Sandy.

He does some incredible breath work.

His is a little bit more activating, but he does have some

calmer breath styles in there.

Uh, so you'd have to browse and look for those, or if you would like, I

also have a breathwork course that is a very reasonable price and it comes

with five different breath works.

Most of which are all calming.

There is a breadth.

Uh, a breath of fire for the morning.

To activate and get you energized.

But aside from that, then you have all these other ones, like a stress

relieving, one and a purification, one for your lungs, and one for getting

ready for So definitely very, very beneficial breath works that will help

you calm down, ease the mind and get into a calm digest and relax state.

Uh, if you want to check that out, I will have that link in the show notes as well.

And you can have that course.

Uh, it's, uh, you know, you'll have the course for the rest of your life.

And, uh, it's just really, really beneficial.

If you really, the takeaway there is just start breathing, even if you're

not on YouTube or in my course.

Start doing these slow breaths, right?

Five count in five.

Count out, really focusing on the slow long XL.

So that is going to do it for today.

I'm sorry.

I know this.

I don't even know what time I'm at on this.

Oh, okay.

28 minutes.

That is not too bad.

Um, but yeah, definitely.

Practice these things, you know, get rid of all those things I

mentioned and add in the good stuff.

Uh, I think I would really focus if I had to tell you

some really big takeaways here.

I think I would definitely worry about getting the sugar

out of And the seed oils.

I would probably focus on getting those two out, primarily the carbs.

Yeah.

I mean, watch out for the processed carbs, but I think

those are the really two big ones.

Then on top of getting rid of those.

Really focus on just eating some high quality foods, like the wild

caught salmon, the grass fed beef or lamb, or, um, bison, whatever it may

be, uh, some good vegetables, you know, some berries, the chocolate

so that you can have something enjoyable as well in the evening.

Uh, so, you know, if you have a sweet tooth and, uh, yeah, just really focus on.

Trying to eat more whole foods and get rid of those added

sugars and, uh, nasty seed oils.

And then breathe.

Breathing is huge.

You're going to be doing it anyways.

You might Uh, use it to your advantage and slow it down a little bit and

calm down your nervous system.

So.

Anyways.

I hope you guys really enjoyed the show.

Um,

Reading the book, the great cholesterol myth was.

It is incredible, super enjoyable.

I really enjoyed all the information in there and I hope I was able to
