How does eating a ketogenic diet affect cholesterol levels? Are high LDL and HDL numbers always a red flag? Should you be on statins?
Spoiler alert: it depends!
Click above to take a listen to Nicki and I chat by the woodpile about cholesterol and keto.
And if you’re interested in the Cholesterol and Keto download we mention, you can get it here:
Yes! I want the Cholesterol and Keto handout
Also, if you’re interested in comprehensive blood work that includes all the panels I recommend in Wired To Eat (including the NMR) you can do so via Specialty Health Wellness.

No video.

I’m not seeing the content. It’s probably a problem on my end. My PC is weird. But, I can’t see it on my iPhone, either. Can you publish it on youtube? Thanks!
Squatchy says
Should be fixed now.

No need to approve this comment, but I can’t get the video to load. Tried IE and chrome on my PC and chrome on my chromebook. Player shows up in chrome but won’t play. Doesn’t even show in IE.
Robb Wolf says
Wacky!
Squatchy says
Should be working now.

I think he mansplain Nikki. If this is not a real conversation then why to have two in the video?
Not everything is about content, there are also forms.
Robb Wolf says
Please….flesh this out for me.

I am only getting a “broken link” message when I try to click on the “Cholesterol and Keto handout”. Is this still available? I’m using Firefox browser…do I need to be using a different browser?
Robb Wolf says
I am on chrome and it’s working fine!
David Porter says
Can i order these tests independent of my primary physician who doesn’t seem to have any interest in referring me?
Robb Wolf says

Susan Shank says
My doctor recently got nasty because of my cholesterol, which was high and told me I had to ditch the Keto plan. Then she told me I had to get a 200 dollar scan that my plan wouldn’t pay. So I paid it. I am very concerned because I had to lay out that much money and I’m waiting to get the news if I’m dying or what. I have lost over 50 pounds and I feel great.
