 All right. Fernanda says, what is the ideal LDL? Ideal LDL depends on whether or not you have been diagnosed with heart disease. If you have not, a lifetime LDL, well, actually a lifetime LDL under 100 should protect you from heart disease. However, if you didn't figure this out until middle age and your LDL is too high and you're trying to get it down to prevent heart disease, then 70 would be the target. If you already have heart disease, then the target draw in terms of secondary prevention, prevent the second heart attack, drops down to like 30 to 50, or basically as low as possible. So way to say, could there be a harm of having cholesterol too low? We didn't know until PCSK9 inhibitors came out. We have these new biologic injectable drugs which can drop people's cholesterol, LDL cholesterol into these single digits. And still not seeing any problems with hormone manufacture like testosterone, estrogen, or any other issues that have piled on. So only benefit as you go lower and lower, but we don't, most people should not need drugs to get their LDL down. They just need to cut out or cut down on the three things that increase one's cholesterol. And that is saturated fat found mostly in animal fats and junk trans fats found almost exclusively now in animal fat. Now that's been removed from the food supply from partially addressing the oils. And third is dietary cholesterol found predominantly in eggs, but throughout the animal kingdom. Just do all that. Your cholesterol should drop right down. Add in a whole bunch of high fiber plant foods, which is say whole plant foods. And you can push cholesterol down even further. I have an LP little A video up. I was just looking at that for the book. But I go through exactly where we should have a target LP little A and what we can do about it. Yes, in addition to eating healthy, there are a few foods particularly that may lower LP little A further. And I think those are black cumin seed and flax seeds, but check the video to find out. Okay. Jesse has natural low HDL with a hopeful plant based diet LDL and triglycerides plummeted fantastic. But there talks about a triglyceride HDL ratio was important on a number to track LDL is an important number to track. We used to think HDL so-called good cholesterol was good and actually had benefits in terms of reducing disease risk. It turns out that is not the case based on a whole range of evidence, including drugs that that raise HDL, which actually had to be stopped early because it was killing people. And probably most importantly, these so-called Mendelian randomization studies were people who just genetically at birth born with genes that give them kind of unnaturally elevated HDL throughout their entire lives, regardless of what they eat or how they live, do not actually have lower cardiovascular disease. However, those born with high LDL die early from cardiovascular disease. And those born with low LDL are protected from heart disease, regardless of what they eat, proving that effectively proven, of course, we can actually there's actually real proving proving in terms of randomized controlled trials, but it's the best in terms you get for observational data, which so the LDL is actually a risk factor, not just a correlate. So for example, you know, I do video talking about this HDL thing. It's one of my egg videos where something like having a lot of what was it, tennis shoes in your house associated with better health. But but that's not because gym shoes actually help your health directly. It's just a proxy for something like exercise, which actually does help your health. So, you know, those people that who carry around cigarette lighters probably live short in lives, but not because they're carrying around cigarette lighters. It's not a cause and effect, a causal risk factor. It's and similarly, HDL is not a causal protective factor for heart disease. So don't worry about your HDL, worry about your LDL, and it's wonderful that they're down. And that's fantastic. Congratulations. Okay, Francis says, What is the main reason why ones A1C fluctuates from high to low and high to low? That is, will a B12 supplement help with diabetic neuropathy? Okay, for those of you who are like, What is an A1C? It is a measure of kind of long term blood sugar control over the last few months or so, but really biased towards kind of more recent events. And so the main reason is people are eating different foods. And although women can get hormonal changes throughout the month, that even if they're eating the same thing, they can have different blood sugar responses. So that could be one reason. And, you know, if you're sick, you know, you have really high blood pressures, even if you're kind of eating healthy. But typically, we tend to think of A1C as in terms of diabetic control and how well medications are working. And for prediabetes, or in general, it's typically what's happening with a diet, primarily the glycemic load of different foods. And so I encourage people to cut out refined grains and things that cause too high of a blood sugar spike. Okay, Santanu says, with a fun-based diet, reduce sugar substantially. I want to know, how do I reduce insulin resistance? Great. Fasting insulin is 16, looking to reduce it. HDL has gone down. We don't worry about HDL because now they cause the risk factor for heart disease. But if you want to reduce your insulin resistance, you decrease the cause of insulin resistance, which is excess saturated fat intake in the context of a hypercaloric diet. Or excess visceral adiposity, if your waist measures your belly button is more than half your height, you need to lose weight to reduce that visceral fat and decrease insulin resistance, regardless of what you eat. Okay, BLK says, type 2 diabetic. Oh, but eating healthy, wonderful. Not on meds, fantastic. Oh, but can't get glucose under control. And so one of the reasons maybe you're suffering insulin resistance from excess visceral fat. So if you have excess abdominal fat, it can spill fat in your bloodstream. And so you don't have it going into your mouth. You still have these high levels of fat in your blood and that interferes with insulin responsiveness in your muscles and liver. And that's what causes type 2 diabetes, especially when it offloads fat to your poor pancreas and can destroy some of your insulin producing cells. And so weight loss would be the next step. And if your glucose is not under control, you should indeed. Talk to your doctors about being on meds until something like metformin, until you can get it under control with diet, though it may take weight loss to drop your visceral fat to levels where your insulin resistance drops enough that you can reverse your diabetes.
