Picture this: you’re lean, active, insulin-sensitive, and thriving on a low-carb lifestyle—yet your LDL cholesterol shoots past 200. Is this a sign of dysfunction, or simply a reflection of how your body fuels itself? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we unpack the Lipid Energy Model (LEM), a framework that helps explain why some people—known as Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs)—see dramatic LDL increases alongside very high HDL and very low triglycerides. Using clear analogies, we break ...

Small Dense LDL: Hidden Heart Disease Risk | Episode 91
Could your “normal” cholesterol panel be hiding dangerous particles that drive heart disease? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we reveal why standard lipid testing often misses the real culprits behind plaque formation: small dense LDL particles (sdLDL). We explore the four key reasons sdLDL is so harmful—its ability to penetrate arterial walls, its high susceptibility to oxidation, its extended circulation time, and its potent inflammatory effects. Most importantly, we connect sdLDL dire...
