📣 Years of work, cross-country screenings, and a groundbreaking cholesterol documentary all come together in this powerful in-person conversation between Ketobiography host Robyn Dobbins and engineer-researcher Dave Feldman. They unpack the emotion and logistics behind The Cholesterol Code film tour, the surprising way keto helped Robyn's bipolar journey, and why real-world stories must sit alongside rigorous science.

📋 You'll hear what's next for the Keto-CTA research, how CoSci grew into a Vegas-based fundraising "conference in disguise," and why many in the low-carb world are re-examining long-held beliefs about LDL, ApoB, and heart disease risk.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How a "one-question podcast" turns into a deep dive on The Cholesterol Code film, from CoSci premieres to the Dallas screening and Amazon launch
• Why Robyn's keto journey started as a cholesterol fix and unexpectedly reshaped her experience of bipolar disorder and medication side effects
• What the Keto-CTA study suggests so far about lean, metabolically healthy people with very high LDL, and why Dave is pushing for 5-year scans and a 200-person companion study with a control group
• How personal stories, documentary film, and platforms like Ketobiography and Metabolic Collective help challenge the standard LDL narrative and invite more individualized care
• Why Dave thinks many doctors genuinely want to help yet risk losing patient trust when they dismiss imaging, context, and lived experience — and how the film might help bridge that gap

💡 Key Insight

"You've got to do both. You've got to do the research and get it in the literature — but you can't count on it to just take off from there. That's why the personal stories matter so much." — Dave Feldman
