Perhaps the best podcast guest ever. LOVED the extended time!! I think all your podcasts should be at least 90 min or more. It was so great not to cut anything short due to time… Us 6 listeners don’t have anywhere to be anyways!
It was a goody! I try to be mindful of both the guest and listeners…when it is cooking I just go with it.
Totally agree with David. Really good information presented in a scientific but understandable manner. Love how Robb does not interrupt just to satisfy his ego. But when he shares…he nails it. Very timely…got this just in time to share with a family member who is a new Nurse Practitioner and is treating a patient who is on statins and whose blood work came back with an LDL of 6 (the test before that was 5). I am trying to introduce her to a whole new world of thought. Thank you.
Thank you Robb, we can be friends again… For now
WHEW!
35:55 Insulin resistance in the gut–dear gawd that just takes things to a totally different level. Mind blown…
RIGHT?!?!?
Hey Robb! Long time fan, first time commenter – Do you have access to the paper Dr. Patrick referenced for this insulin-resistance-begins-in-the-gut-mind-blowing-but-makes-perfect-sense theory? I’d love to read the study – Thanks!
I do not but I’ll hit her up for that!
Rhonda mentioned APOE4 and Alzheimers. The papers below suggest that high cholesterol in APOE4 may be protective against alzheimers. Imported cholesterol may be needed to form synapses and people with APOE4 seem to have an impaired ability to import cholesterol. Although high cholesterol in middle age is correlated with AD in APOE4 people, the cholesterol levels in those that develop AD drops before the clinical manifestation of AD symptoms.

Two of my favorite health minds in one info packed podcast! Feel free to have her on regularly.
Also, what happened to Mr. Lalonde?
He got tired of all the interweb shenanigans. Cannot blame him.
Loved this podcast, please have her on more often!!
I have listened to this three times. I am almost totally lost. I need a summary for people who took biology last in 7th grade.
There is a lot more we do not know than we do!
Instant top 5 five Robb! Can’t wait for next time.
What I loved about her is the willingness to share information to help out without expectations of any kind of return.
Honestly, this is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to lately… loved the geek-out session. Many thanks!
Robb, Thanks for introducing me to Dr Patrick. Her research background is very interesting to me, since I am living with a Mitochondrial Disease caused by a POLG mutation. Looking forward to you having her back on the show.
Loved this – I just found your podcast, so I’m not listening in order. Out of the 10 or so I’ve heard, this was by far my favorite. Incredibly informative.
Holy cow dude! I think you should name this podcast the Theory of Everything as there wasn’t much you didn’t cover. Please have her on again, brain imploded first time I listened to this, had to take a break and come back around for a second listen.
Thanks man and will do!
