so I wanted to create a quick video just

to answer another question someone was

doing in a minute fasting and their

cholesterol was actually going up and

they were concerned and I understand you

know you don’t wanna get a clogged

artery and then end up getting a heart

attack I totally got it but just hear me

out for a second because if you’re doing

in a minute fasting and keto together

you are not gonna get a heart attack

okay even if your cholesterol does go up

temporarily when you do fasting

you’re gonna mobilize your fat okay

what’s in the fat it’s filled mostly

with triglycerides okay

there’s also some cholesterol neuro as

well triglycerides are going to be used

as energy okay primarily cholesterol is

not going to be used for energy

we don’t use cholesterol for energy it’s

used to make hormones sex hormones like

testosterone estrogen also cortisol

which is your anti inflammatory hormones

and there’s many other ones it’s also

needed for cell membranes okay

all of the cell membranes in your body

need cholesterol so your body makes a

lot of cholesterol it makes like 3,000

milligrams per day so when you eat more

cholesterol your body will make less

when you eat less your body makes more

there’s a feedback mechanism going on

but this next point is very very

important

repair cholesterol acts to repair damage

in the body and because cholesterol

doesn’t just float through the arteries

it has to be put in a mechanism or a

little shuttle-bus of protein so it can

be transported through the body easily

because cholesterol and blood don’t mix

that well okay so it’s put into little

shuttles they’re called LDL HDL etc and

99% of the time when you do fasting

you’re gonna see a huge drop in

triglycerides you’re going to also see a

drop in LDL you may initially see a

spike in cholesterol simply because it’s

being mobilized but you normally will

see a drop in LDL okay

and a spike in HDL and these two shuttle

buses kind of work in tandem so the LDL

takes the cholesterol from the liver out

through the body to do its work and the

HDL will take the excess and bring it

back to the liver from recycling so if

your cholesterol is a little high

realize you’re just in the transition

phase it’s gonna come down and despite

it being high it’s still not a problem a

really good test for you to do would be

this right here take your cholesterol

and then you - your HDL and your LDL

okay and you’re gonna get something

called remnant cholesterol because

what’s happening you have this dynamic

situation where your body is feeding the

hormones building the cell membranes

doing some repair but also cleaning up

any extra as well but the other thing

you really need to know is that what’s

really behind the high cholesterol and

the high triglycerides is the

carbohydrates

it’s the desserts it’s the sweets etc

when you do fasting or you bring your

carbs down the body stops storing okay

and it starts using the stored energy as

fuel so I don’t want to beat a dead

horse but it’s an important message and

I know I’ve said this same thing in a

thousand different ways but for some

people it does take the repetition

before it finally sinks in and they

actually do apply the information if
