Dave Feldman was an engineer on the verge of developing diabetes. In an effort to better his health, he made the decision to try a low-carb, high-fat diet. His sister and father followed suit. Dave's LDL cholesterol levels increased, but his family's did not.

The different results fueled his curiosity to explore the reasons behind this inconsistency.

Many people believe that genetics determines how the body processes a high-fat diet, but Daves findings challenged this notion.

In this episode, Dave Feldman presents the Lipid Energy Model, how high levels of LDL cholesterol may not always equal increased risk of heart disease.

David Feldman is an engineer who initiated the Citizen Science Foundation dedicated to advancing citizen science in the field of cholesterol and lipid research.

“Metabolism is this counterbalance between anabolism, which is the building up of stuff, and catabolism, which is the breaking down of stuff. And metabolism is how good you are at building up and breaking down stuff in a good balance. That's really what metabolism is. And nowhere is that more important than fuel."
