In Episode #181 I sit down with physician and lipid specialist Dr Spencer Nadolsky to talk about cholesterol, ketogenic diets and cardiovascular disease.

Specifically we cover:

Spencer’s background and journey to becoming a doctor
What lipids are
What lipoproteins are
What causes atherosclerosis
The difference between Apo B and LDL
What evidence is there that atherosclerosis is caused by raised Apo B containing lipoproteins
What is driving the denial of cholesterol’s association with cardiovascular disease
Dr Spencer’s pilot study of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia
Dr Spencer’s tips for reducing risk of atherosclerosis
