The current thoughts around LDL cholesterol center on the fact that there is no scenario in which high LDL numbers could occur in healthy individuals. Traditionally, the belief is high levels of LDL can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of metabolic health. Today’s guest is here to share his hypothesis and research on how higher cholesterol levels in metabolically fit individuals could be a physiological response rather than a pathological response that can lead to disease. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss high levels of LDL in metabolically healthy individuals. Dave shares the current research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease in individuals eating a ketogenic diet. He also shares his personal approach to focusing on metabolic health and the key markers critical to overall health.

This episode is brought to you by Vivobarefoot and AquaTru. Chronic pain impacts millions of people, and yet traditional methods focus solely on pain management, failing to address the root cause of the pain. Today’s guest is here to share a groundbreaking approach to treating pain, revealing that the brain creates pain as a signal of an underlying emotional issue that needs to be addressed, and treatment can be achieved by rewiring our brains. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner to discuss why chronic pain is more prevalent and how it is connected to our brains.

This episode is brought to you by Birch Living, Bioptimizers, and AquaTru. There is so much conflicting and outdated advice on weight loss and calories in and out. Although some of this advice may initially lead to weight loss, it does not always result in long-term weight loss, sustainable habits, and overall health. Today’s guest is here to break down the research, myths, and advice to help us navigate what actually works in the realm of weight loss and what can be disregarded. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Morgan Nolte to discuss why weight gain and insulin resistance have become more prevalent and what we can do to change our relationship with insulin and ultimately maintain ideal weight. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. She recognized a need for preventative education and care that focuses on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms. That led her to focus on developing online courses and coaching programs that help adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention.In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Nolte dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):Why unwanted weight gain and insulin resistance have become the norm (2:30 / 2:30)Aging and how that changes our relationship with insulin (16:17 / 13:35) How calories drive eating behavior (25:02 / 21:28) Tips for keeping the weight off (30:26 / 28:04)Sustainability by adding in rather than removing (37:35 / 34:12)Dr. Nolte’s tips for navigating conflicting advice (42:35 / 38:41)Breaking down carbohydrates (50:55 / 46:50) Optimal fiber levels (1:05:06 / 1:00:47)Four pillars to a low insulin lifestyle (1:08:44 / 1:04:24)Toxic traits that damage mindset (1:20:10 / 1:06:03)The impact of sleep on your appetite (1:26:37 / 1:22:26)Strength training and stress management for optimal insulin levels (1:35:40 / 1:31:16 )Understanding the why behind your goals and what actions you are taking (1:44:25 /1:40:20)Also mentioned in this episode:Zivli Ultimate Food Guide Dr. Nolte’s episode with Dr. Lyon You’re probably eating way too much proteinTo get 20% off your Birch Living mattress plus two free eco-rest pillows, head over to birchliving.com/dhru today.Start the New Year off right and dial in on your sleep.

I listen to your podcast while I’m preparing meals for my work week and just wanted to let you know how inspiring this podcast and how good it makes me feel about the food I’m making. It makes being questioned by my fast food eating coworkers about what I’m eating worth it.

Didn't want to text you but leaving a comment instead. Enjoyed this content a lot, made a lot of sense, I could relate to it a lot and it helps me look at how I'm doing things, and how I can move myself forward. Being hard on ourselves every day is one area that resonated most, but I can use/work with the other tips also. Thanks!
