Has your doctor recently told you that your cholesterol levels were too high and that your keto diet could be to blame? Wondering if they’re right and if you have anything to worry about? While we can’t give you medical advice over the podcast, the guest speaker of this episode, Dave Feldman, provides some helpful insight on this topic. Dave studies lipidology, which you’ll learn about, to help people prevent cholesterol problems that can lead to serious conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and strokes.  When you tune in, you’ll discover that high levels of cholesterol may not be a bad thing if these other blood markers are low. On the flipside, high results in those key markers of inflammation could be a huge sign that your doctor is right. By tuning into the episode, you’ll find out what it means to have high cholesterol on keto, when to be concerned, and what you can do about it. Dave Feldman -- who has over 50k social followers -- also shares everything he’s discovered through his research and his own personal journey from lowering his A1c down from 7.1. So if cholesterol is one of those topics you’re unsure of on a keto diet, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
