okay guys we’re going to talk about LDL this is so called bad cholesterol

everyone’s afraid of it stands for low density lipoproteins I’m going to want

to clear up some confusion on what this is it’s not really cholesterol it’s a

protein carrier because cholesterol doesn’t mix with water too well so it

needs to be shuttled through a little truck or a bus

so LDL low-density lipoprotein it’s not cholesterol it has cholesterol in it but

it’s just a protein shell okay now the reason why people consider this bad is

simply because it carries cholesterol to the arteries and then the HDL the good

cholesterol take the cholesterol out of the arteries and goes back to the liver

okay but let’s just talk about cholesterol in general as I’ve said in

the other videos your body makes cholesterol every single cell in your

body makes it your liver makes a thousand milligrams the rest of the

cells make 2,000 milligrams so total at 3,000 milligrams every single day okay

so your body needs it so if you have high LDL and you’re scared of that

here’s here’s here’s the facts the real purpose of LDL is not to cause damage

it’s like it’s like a something that directly binds in actin activates in

activates bacterial toxins okay it prevents the damage from toxins from

microbes it’s there to help heal the cell okay that’s what it’s there in fact

it really tries to interact inactivate Staphylococcus aureus which is caused by

MRSA you know and if you’ve heard about in some of the hospitals they have this

very resistant microbe and MRSA and it’s basically creating dissolving red blood

cells it’s so so nasty do you realize that LDL helps to neutralize that and

someone goes on a statin a cholesterol-lowering drug that basically

inactivates cholesterol you’re more susceptible to

this infection you’re more susceptible to Marissa that’s probably why a lot of

the people in the hospital which is they’re on statin if they’re getting

Marissa I mean it helps neutralize salmonella this might be something new

but to you but it’s actually it’s true so lvl takes care of microbes the

specific LDL that you want to test is LDL P and the reason for that is that

I’m not even concerned about LDL C which is stands for cholesterol but we want to

know the number of particles because that will indicate how much

triglycerides that are also in this LDL because it carries triglycerides which

are blood fats and cholesterol okay so when the doctor says though your bad

cholesterol is high we need to put your medication what they should say is why

is it high I mean it’s there to try to heal something so let’s talk about what

would increase LDL number one insulin resistance and in select pre-diabetes

diabetes that’ll increase it hypothyroid infection do you realize that when

you’re sick your cholesterol dl goes way up because your body is trying to heal

it right leaky gut because there’s an immune reaction genetics there’s there’s

a genetic problem with this and so if you are tested which is rare if you are

tested with a genetic problem with high levels of cholesterol that’s a whole

different video okay I’ll do it on that later but and you need to keep it lower

because you can get out of control but I’m not talking about those people

stress will increase your LDL if you were to monitor your LDL on a hour to

hour basis it will fluctuate all over the place

so stress will increase it because of increased cortisol which increases

insulin and then surgery if you come out of surgery your LDL spiked up if you get

a tooth extraction your LDLs increase okay any type of trauma and visceral fat

that’s the fat around your gut can increase this as well so instead of

trying to get rid of it ask the question why

it’s their start to heal it and it will come down I just like it it’s it’s one

of the greatest ways to India just like a red flag to pull the string to see

what is causing that it’s like now you know all the potential things you can

actually correct this and then it will come down but the last thing you want to

do is get on some drug to inactivate this healing cholesterol thanks for
