Episode 12- We Chewed the FAT with Dave Feldman. The Ketogenic Cholesterol Whisperer!

Dave is an Engineer. Engineer's have this amazing ability to think in systems, to see patterns and to question how something works.

But what does that have to do with cholesterol?

Dave's personal journey has led him to devote his life to the understanding of cholesterol. In this episode you'll hear Dave's personal story and the different experiments he's conducted. He has shifted his cholesterol more than any one else in the world with just food! No drugs, No Supplements. Just Food!

What does this mean for you? His work is providing some interesting answers to some of the most often asked questions in the Keto Community!

 Why did my cholesterol go up?

I feel better than ever,  but my Doctor says I need a statin because of my high cholesterol!

What is cholesterol doing in the body? (Get ready for this one...best explanation of cholesterol and all of the moving parts we've ever heard!)

What's happening with my Fasting Blood Glucose? Since I've been Keto it's higher than normal!

What exactly is LDL...isn't that the BAD cholesterol?

What is a Hyper-Responder? Could I be a hyper-responder? ( Seriously this is where Dave became the Cholesterol Whisperer in our book!)

What's the Feldman Protocol? How can I lower my LDL and make my doctor happy?--No joke. This is a protocol that Dave developed. And it works!

What is the Inverse Relationship in cholesterol?

Won't eating fat raise my cholesterol?

Remnant Cholesterol? The leftover stuff that your doctor doesn't mention and why it's important to your health!

There is so much more !

If you're in the Keto Community and you haven't heard of this man...then get ready! Get a pen, get some paper, take some notes. This will change how you see your cholesterol panel! 

Follow Dave on Twitter!

He is one of the most active people we follow on Twitter and shares so much information!

This website has both complex and easy to understand cholesterol information, how to calculate remnant cholesterol, list of current and past experiments, instructions for the Feldman Protocol, the basics of cholesterol on a low carb diet and so much more.

Quick Update on Beth!  Charlie and Beth called us a few days after this interview with a report on Beth's femur status from her doctor. The break in her femur was at 50% healed at the 2 month mark. This is the time period they began a Carnivore Experiment. On the next appointment at month 3, one month of being carnivore, Beth's leg is at 90% healed. She was cleared to put full weight on her leg. Her doc stated that whatever she was doing...she should just keep doing it. We are just so excited for her recovery and know that keeping inflammation down is always a good thing! 

If you missed last weeks episode with Dr. Peter Ballerstedt just go back and listen to it! SO MUCH INFORMATION! (yep, that was in Melody's volume control challenged voice)

Eat Fat and Prosper!

Steve and Melody

In this episode we speak with Dr. Peter Ballerstedt of Grass Based Health. 

Dr. Ballerstedt is an Agronomist who is seeking a Ruminant Revolution!

With his expertise in Forage and Ruminant Animal Agriculture you'll learn about his passion to bring the world of the Consumer and Producer to a better understanding of one another.

He's not only an expert on how Ruminants eat and live, but he has also spent many years studying the Human Diet and Health. Like many of us, his own health crisis left him searching for a better way. He found, just like many of you, that the low-fat diet advice does not lead to Human Flourishing!

We have a long standing relationship with these Ruminant creatures who have been here throughout our existence. Come spend an hour with Dr. Ballerstedt as he sheds some light on where we may have lost the proper focus in our Low Carb-Ketogenic Communities.

We talk about meat consumption and the Conventional vs. Grass-fed controversy. We have all felt the fears of eating Conventionally raised meat. But do we even understand the process? So for our many Keto-Carnivore-Zero Carb-Paleo and Low Carb friends who have felt paralyzed...this episode is for you!  You know you're dying to find out what he said!

Steve and I first heard Dr. Peter Ballerstedt at Low Carb USA in San Diego (2016). His presentation brought such needed information into our ketogenic journey. He is unique in our community of Keto Experts, because unlike most who work with humans after poor diet has compromised their health, Dr. Ballerstedt works with the source of the most nutrient dense food that can cause human beings to flourish...the Ruminant. Come join the Ruminati!  

You can hear him at the next Low Carb USA 2018 conference in July 2018, simply go here to grab your tickets! 

He will be speaking at KetoCon in Austin, Texas this June!
