Summary

In Episode #181, I sat down with physician and lipid specialist Dr Spencer Nadolsky to talk about cholesterol, ketogenic diets, and cardiovascular disease. We discussed what lipids and lipoproteins are, what causes atherosclerosis (a condition involving the build-up of plaque within the arteries), the difference between apolipoprotein B and low-density lipoprotein, and how these proteins relate to atherosclerosis.   You’ll also hear about Dr Nadolsky’s pilot study of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and his tips for reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
