A New Study Reveals That Very High Cholesterol Does Not Cause Atherosclerosis in Some Lean People

Dr. Matthew Budoff presented data on December 9, 2023, demonstrating that a subgroup of individuals with very high total cholesterol and LDL do not seem to develop heart disease. The subjects are known as "Lean Mass Hyper Responders." The group became notable during the rise in popularity of ketogenic diets. This post will cover what a ketogenic diet is, what a lean mass hyper responder is, the possible mechanism of why they seem to be immune to heart disease, and the study itself.

The Declaration of Health Independence

Despite us all having unique personal versions of reality, politicians, media, entertainment, social media, search engines, and advertisers continually influence us into the specific beliefs they wish us to have. We have followed their advice (many times without even knowing it) and are in terrible health anyway. I say we consider declaring our independence from them and learn to take care of ourselves. It can be confusing and difficult, but it will pay off sooner than you think. This post will cover some of the background of how we got into this mess and two important things we can all start doing today to break free and get on the road to better health.

What Is Shinrin-yoku, and Why is It So Good for You?

Now that the trees are all green where I live, I have found my hikes in the woods feel better. It turns out that there is robust science behind this phenomenon. The first people to recognize and study it were in Japan. It turns out, walking in the woods does far more than make you feel better; it measurably improves many aspects of your health. The Japanese researchers were so impressed with the findings that they coined a term called Shinrin-yoku to represent the joys of immersing ourselves in forests.

GGT: The Most Important Predictor of Disease and Mortality

am sure most of you have never heard of GGT. It is not your fault; it is not considered to be as important as a marker for disease as others, such as cholesterol by most medical practitioners. As you will find out today, it may be the single most important predictor of disease and mortality medicine has today.
