LDL is a protein made by the liver and serves many important functions in the body. LDL provides the raw materials needed to produce hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. It is also involved in the production of vitamin D and bile.

More than half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal LDL levels, raising important questions about the role of LDL in cardiovascular disease.

There are two main types of LDL: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL. Small, dense LDL is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic stress. Large, buoyant LDL is generally considered non-pathogenic.

Despite the focus on lowering LDL cholesterol, there is limited evidence that simply reducing LDL levels acts as heart disease prevention. Higher LDL levels have even been associated with longevity in some research.

Many people are prescribed statins without determining which type of LDL they have. An advanced lipid profile can help identify whether your LDL is primarily small dense LDL or large buoyant LDL, providing a more complete picture of your cardiovascular health.

Today we’re going to cover the dangers of low cholesterol.

It turns out that there are just as many, if not more, problems with low LDL and low cholesterol than with high LDL and high cholesterol.

Your body makes cholesterol—even your brain cells make cholesterol. Cholesterol is needed to make vitamin D and bile salts, and it’s also involved in making cell membranes.

If your cholesterol or LDL is too low, various problems can occur.

Sometimes you need to deal with cravings first so you can successfully do the keto diet. Find out how to get rid of cravings for alcohol or sugar.

DATA:

0:00 Introduction: Get rid of sugar and alcohol cravings

Today I’m going to cover the best remedy to help get rid of sugar cravings and cravings for alcohol: L-glutamine.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Glutamine turns into glutamate, which is the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain.

L-glutamine increases gluconeogenesis, which is the production of new sugar. This means that this amino acid can quickly turn to sugar and feed your brain cells, but it won’t spike your insulin.

Both sugar and alcohol can provide a sense of relief to some people. L-glutamine may help provide fuel to the brain and reduce stress, anxiety, and pressure—this may help reduce the need for alcohol and sugar. L-glutamine has many other potential health benefits, as well.

Alcohol consumption can block glutamine and all of the beneficial effects that come with it.

Other things can also create a glutamine deficiency, such as:

Foods rich in glutamine: 

You can also take L-glutamine as a supplement.

This is the biggest lie about weight loss and dieting, and it’s been going on for decades! Find out the truth about weight loss and why you may want to ditch the calorie counting for good. Don’t fall for diet lies!

Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

0:00 Introduction: The biggest weight loss lie

The weight loss industry has convinced the public that losing weight is just a matter of eating fewer calories than you're burning. There is no one bad food, and you can consume “everything in moderation”. These diet lies will not work!

All calories are not the same! Let’s look at the hormone insulin, which tells calories where to go. If insulin is high, your carbohydrates will be stored as fat. If it’s low, those calories will be burned. All it takes is a small amount of carbohydrates to raise insulin and prevent your body from burning fat.

Cortisol, the stress hormone, can indirectly raise your insulin. It interferes with sleep, when most of your fat burning occurs.

Fiber can help buffer a blood sugar spike. Orange juice without the fiber will increase your blood sugar significantly more than whole oranges with fiber.

Highly refined industrial starch is classified as a complex carbohydrate. It raises blood sugar significantly more than starch from a whole food source, such as a potato.

Different types of fat affect your health in dramatically different ways. Cod liver oil is a potent source of healthy omega-3 fat, while if you were to consume the same amount of Crisco fat, the health effects would be completely opposite.

You will not lose weight if your calories don’t satisfy you. Unsustainable diets leave you feeling hungry all the time. The more nutrient-dense a food is, the more satisfying it will be. The source of the calories matters!

All of your cells can metabolize glucose, but only the liver can metabolize fructose. Synthetic sugars like high fructose corn syrup can overload your liver and significantly differ from natural sugar sources like honey.

If you’re struggling to lose weight, realizing that calorie counting doesn’t work is essential. Healthy Keto® and intermittent fasting can help you lose weight sustainably!
