Makes sense. Amazingly, they don't seem to recognize the implications of Raggi https://www.apoe4.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1355&hilit=EBT&start=10#p14817 - if you can reduce the year over year increase to <15%, you've reduced your risk by 95%. https://www.apoe4.info/forums/download...

Thanks to Rhonda Patrick: One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the abnormal clumping of beta-amyloid proteins in the brain, resulting in the death of brain cells. The discovery that small heat shock proteins prevent uncontrolled protein clumping has opened the possibility of developing dru...

When looking at blood glucose levels, what are the ideal times to take a reading? Before breakfast / right after a meal / 2-hours after meals? Assuming you are not diabetic, I'd sample a) morning fasting and b) 45 minutes to an hour after meals. At ~4 AM, your liver starts releasing glycogen to wak...

Agreed. He wore his East Coast hat for us. I wonder about the date of the interview with Dr. Patrick? In her iTunes list it was 8/27/15. It was either in a podcast or our call with Gundry that he mentioned he's in discussion groups regarding this {lipids} (I assume with other docs & researchers...

Julie, I would agree that Krauss is in both camps, but it was comments in his interview with Rhonda Patrick about sdLDL that I thought backed Gundry's position. My impression is that Krauss has a more limited toolbox - diet wise - to make the requisite changes in sdLDL than Gundry. It has been a bit...

G, Depends on which metrics you think are most important. Dr. Gundry tested us with NMR and sdLDL. https://www.apoe4.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=570&p=16389&hilit=gundry+wife+sdldl#p16389 My 4/4 wife had a 2280 LDL-P and >1100 small LDL-P. However Gundry was only concerned with her s...
