Nick Norwitz Has Total Cholesterol of 700 — So Why Zero Plaque? – TFP #030 | Nick Norwitz MD PhD

About this episode

Nick Norwitz discusses the complexities of cholesterol and its impact on arterial health with Dave Feldman.

In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can living with an LDL of 700 for seven years actually leave your arteries plaque-free? Nick Norwitz (MD PhD) makes the case that the conventional cholesterol narrative is far more complicated than mainstream medicine admits, while Dave and Nick also cover the paternalistic medical system, statin side effects in women, Nick's surprising decision to take a cholesterol-lowering drug, and the recent Peter Attia rebuttal to lean mass hypersponder research. --- 🔥 This episode is sponsored by us -- Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/30` Private blood testing services 🩸Over 300 blood tests 💰Extremely affordable ❤️ We love our customers (Yes, we are literally funding the entire podcast from our own company -- so if you want to show your support, keep getting your private blood testing through our service.
