Episode 2612 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dave Feldman about being a "citizen scientist," his documentary "Cholesterol Code," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/citizen-scientist-dave-feldman-episode-2612 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Citizen Scientist People challenge Dave and the information he gives about cholesterol because he is an engineer, not a formally trained scientist. (5:00) He has gained abundant knowledge through the studies and scientists he has worked with. (8:00) Being a citizen scientist has advantages and disadvantages; while it allows for innovative insights, it can also lead to skepticism from trained professionals regarding credibility and expertise. He has also started the Citizen Science Foundation. Dave started learning more about cholesterol after having questionable test results. (14:00) He describes signs of a bad metabolism and that issues like insulin resistance are drivers of cardiovascular disease. (19:00) Metabolic health is a more critical cardiovascular risk indicator than LDL cholesterol levels, challenging traditional medical assumptions. Lean Mass Hyper Responders, a term coined by Feldman, describes individuals on low-carb, high-fat diets who exhibit high LDL cholesterol levels but maintain good metabolic health, sparking significant interest and further research. (22:00) Cholesterol Code Movie Dave recaps his journey and discusses the making of the documentary, “Cholesterol Code.” (44:00) The film features personal narratives from individuals using ketogenic diets for various health issues, highlighting their experiences with cholesterol and metabolic health. “Cholesterol Code” incorporates scientific studies, emphasizing accurate representation of research findings and avoiding misleading claims, presenting a balanced view of ketogenic diets. The team is exploring distribution options on major streaming platforms, aiming to reach a broad audience and continue raising awareness about the importance of metabolic health.
