one of the great risks to health that i have seen is listening to Peter Attias nonesense and pseudo sience/analysis …..
Repatha has been withdrawn by the manufacturer Amgen due to excess deaths compared to placebo !!!
Can statins or ANY drug reduce OXIDISED ApoB100? The kind that can’t get past liver receptors to reduce accumulated small dense LDL (oxidised ApoB100)?
the 2 nutritional interventions of lower CHO intake to lower triglycerides, and cut Saturated fat. What if someones CHO intake is around 40% of diet, assume good sources, and has a low triglycerides of 49mg/dL would lower CHO play a factor there? For lower sat fat intake – how many grams is that? Lets say someone eats 15grams or less on a diet where FAT accounts for 20% of calories?
What is apob ???
I just had a lipoprotein fractionation test done and while my LDL is a little elevated and HDL is normal, the fraction test indicated 3.4x the max end of the reference range for both small and medium LDL particles!
This sounds really bad. On the better news side, it identified me as Pattern A (large and low-density particles) rather than Pattern B (small and high density particles). Any thoughts on these results and what I should follow up on? My doctor who ordered this test told me he does not know it well. The very high particle count seems concerning.
I have been on a traditional British high saturated fat diet since my birth in 1940. Now at 84 I have low triglycerides, low LDL and do not have IR or any metabolic syndrome. I limit simple carbohydrates except rice, oats and potatoes cooked and cooled to promote restricted starch to promote the production of SFAs in my hind gut, especially butyric acid and eat prebiotic foods like green bananas, mushrooms, whole grains and others. I limit my protein intake to 0.8 g/kg lean mass from animal sources to ensure an optimum supply of essential amino acids, eat a lot of antioxidant red fruits plus broccoli for sulfaraphane, apricots for spermidine and nuts for ALA as well as a range of supplements including vitamin D3 at 5000 units per day that has kept my blood level above 50 ng/ml and with zinc and quercetin for red onions etc ensures an good inate immune response – I did not take the Cov-2 vaccine and have never taken a flu one either and have not had either. I do not eat manufactured foods or high energy drinks and avoid seed oil products and fructose.
What about is you have soft plaque doesn't a statin help calcify those?
My APOB is only 35 with no drugs whatsoever – as I've lived 67 years with no drugs, think I'll stay that way.
My triglycerides and cholesterol are low, my Lp(a) is high.
All of the comments here have driven me completely insane, so i will go drown my confusion in a big salad full of greens and reds and yellows of all kinds with some nuts and brewers yeast sprinkled on top, maybe with a bagel [if i can find a real one around here], then go for a jog later tonight and feel real good no matter what are my LDL, HDL, cholesterol, Apo-A,B,C,D,E,F OR M, TSH,or any other number right now. This life is but a snap in the whisps of time. Ten years one way or another makes little difference personally but much more depending on our connections. Enjoyment and fulfillment come in many 'colors.' Sitting at this screen for more than maybe an hour probably does more damage than a cheeseburger, fries and milk shake. The facts that influence us involve GLA: genes/lifestyle/attitude. We can at least try and control two of them, some day maybe all. Live this dream as best we can. There is only one way out.
i wud luvvvv to see Dr attia talk to vivek ramswamy…cos vivek was in the drug world too. oh man. that wud be fascinating. hit like if u agree!
Don’t forget to eat 4-6 servings of fermented foods
Most of the Gurus are talking to people with a lot of money. PSK-9 inhibitor is like a mortgage per month
Adverse Reactions (Significant): Considerations of Bempedoic Acid
Hyperuricemia and gout
Tendon rupture
The drugs you are taking are supposed to be taken after statins fail.
New drugs don't always mean better!
Bempedoic acid has plenty of side effects too!
Your alternative could be a juice cleanse but celery juice requires discipline
So indept with so called familiar high cholesterol? and higer dan normal Lp(a) I take 10mg Rosuvastatin and 10mg Ezetimib, my ApoB is 44.5mg/dl. Still was in need of 6 stents to keep the coronary artery open. Problem after 25 years of statins is dry throat, nightly cramps in the legs and now hands are starting too. Is Bempodoic acid an answer for me, I can accept a higher ApoB.
Is there a drug to grow hair back on Attia's bald head?
No more bacon? So you're not a Carnivore fan?
Taking 3 drugs to lower your APOB and it is still 90???? Does that say it really is working or is drug therapy useless??
His drugs are “special”
They don't want people to stay well. They need to 'treat' sick people.
how do you get the health incurance to pay for the pcsk9 inhibitor?
How long before we hear that lowering your ApoB is detrimental to your health?
I tried rosuvastatin 5mg and had muscle soreness. Then I tried Repatha twice monthly and it drove up my blood pressure. My ApoB is 90 and my LDL is 140. What are my options going forward?
It doesn’t make sense that eating the most nutrient dense food in the world which is red meat would be a problem. Generally speaking inflammation is the problem. High LDL cholesterol is a marker for extreme longevity. So I’m not on board with this one.
Hello. I just recently had blood work done. Male 54, non smoker, no hypertension, insolin is find too.
Just looking for affirmation of sorts.
Total chl is 275
hdlc 98
non hdl 232
ldlc 215
Triglycerides 98
hdl 43
APO B mg/dl 166
lipo A 9.1
vldl 19
ratio 5.3.
I really want to bring my APO B down as quickly as possible. I will adjust my diet. But i want to hit it big time. Can you make and observation for me?
Drug pusher
Anyone have a clue why after 90-days of having Repatha injections both my ApoB and LDL increased when replacing daily 40mg of Atovastatin? Sounds like adding LDL receptors to my liver basically replaced my Atovastatin effectiveness of creating less LDL. I'll see if my doctor will let me also add NEXLIZET(combination of 2 medicines, bempedoic acid and ezetimibe).
Does this mean cutting out nuts cause those have fats or ?
Then why are SO many cardiac surgeons and weigh management doctors coming out saying that poor lipid markers are only relevant for metabolically challenged but are in fact POSITIVE health markers for low inflammatory, optimal metabolic adults? I think the ApoB research is based on a pool of extremely unhealthy people (in the U.S.), so we need to also look at a randomized pool of metabolically healthy adults as a separate study to rule this out. Think about the logic of "differential diagnosis", which is you must also rule OUT other possibilities, rather than only look as correlations.
The ratio (LAR) might be more informative than either component (LDL-C or ApoB) alone. https://lipidworld.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12944-023-01869-1
Lol. There is so much conflicted information on the same subject from all supposed doctors and experts. Now i do remember this Dr recommending Ozempic not too long ago, so i will skip listening
Over the last year I’ve lost 20 lbs, lowered my triglycerides from 400 to 56, lowered my ldl from 150 to 124. My apob a year ago was 85. I only have two data points for apob. Yesterday it was 94. So it went up which is hugely frustrating. I really want to avoid statins.
can you pls give us the names of the drugs you are on to lower APOB
