Peter Attia TED Talk - Maybe we are wrong about diabetes
It was great to see someone in a medical profession come to believe through his own experience that carbs can be the problem and we often blame the victims instead of helping.
Anyone else finding signs that mainstream science/medicine/nutrition/fitness is coming around? Post below if so.
I have a primary care physician, cardiologist and dermatologist that know I’m keto and that I fast up to 3 days frequently. They all say keep doing what you are doing. My cardiologist does suggest I should be vegan keto and I just shook my head no and he didn’t even put vegan suggestion in my chart.
None of them suggested I try keto but my primary never suggested what I was doing was wrong and she has been with me the longest.
My dermo Dr is amazed I don’t have loose skin given how much I have lost around my belly. Her nurse knows it is the fasting and high fived me when the dr was done with me. We did the happy dance together.
I think it’s too early to answer the question of your topic title. However, I think Peter Attia learned something very important to himself and it changed his life.
I have to say Peter Attia is one of the people I like the least. He adamantly refuses to believe LDL might not be bad for you. I stopped listening to him years ago, and his handling of Dave Felman was atrocious.
Mentored by Dayspring so hardly surprising although disappointing I agree…
Dr. Attia’s position is that in the context of endothelial insult and inflammation there is significant evidence LDL contributes to atherosclerosis. We don’t currently have good ways of measuring endothelial insult and inflammation in living people so he believes it is prudent to maintain a “favorable” LDL profile.
Dave Feldman is exploring the idea that what constitutes a favorable LDL profile is context dependent for example when triglycerides are low and HDL is high endothelial insult and inflammation may be so rare/low that the positive aspects of high LDL could be outweighing the risks statistically.
