Rethinking the "Bad" Cholesterol Narrative

If you follow a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle, you’ve probably had "The Talk" with your doctor about your LDL levels.

But as a retired physician and health coach, I’ve seen too many people getting healthier in every measurable way—better blood sugar, more energy, less inflammation—while their doctors obsess over a single, isolated number.

The new documentary "The Cholesterol Code" explores exactly why the "one-size-fits-all" approach to heart health may be outdated. I’ve put together a guide on how to assess your true cardiovascular risk without the guesswork (or the insurance hurdles).

In this week’s edition of the Health Without Risk newsletter:
High LDL on low-carb? Statins for high cholesterol and LDL? The science isn't settled.
We’re looking into The Cholesterol Code documentary, Dr. Nick Norwitz’s latest insights, advanced lab testing (hsCRP, Lp(a), homocysteine), and why context matters way more than the old “lower is always better” dogma.

Young adults are trading bars for barbells—and it’s a win. WSJ highlights the 'great moderation' trend: more spin classes, run clubs, and fitness hangouts instead of happy hours and mimosas. Less booze, better energy, real community, and smarter spending. As a retired physician, I’m applauding this shift—it’s healthier and more rewarding long-term. Remember to follow Health Without Risk, where we explore options for better health that don’t involve alcohol.

I Got Called a Moron For Asking a Question
I always know it’s going to be a good day when someone calls me an absolute moron… just for asking: Is LDL a Hero or Villain?
The new documentary The Cholesterol Code just dropped on Prime Video (April 17, 2026) — and Dr. Nick Norwitz drops some powerful skepticism on the “lower is always better” dogma.
Cholesterol is essential — it’s in every cell membrane and makes our hormones. But the debate is real, and people are asking hard questions.
Watch The Cholesterol Code on Prime Video.

High cholesterol kills? Science is settled? But what about familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)? One argument often used as 'proof' that high LDL causes heart attacks doesn't hold up the way you've been told. The early cardiovascular risk in FH may be more about linked clotting problems than cholesterol itself. If you want uncensored health information, sign up for the weekly Health Without Risk newsletter at the link in the first comment.At Health Without Risk, we explore options for better health by questioning narratives.

High cholesterol kills…science is settled. But what if the real driver in young people with familial hypercholesterolemia isn’t just cholesterol-it’s the clotting? Defective LDL receptors let clotting factor VIII build up and make blood stickier. Part 1 on this topic coming later today.

Would you rather pay for Repatha… or eat more delicious ribeye steaks that naturally lower ApoB and give you larger, fluffier LDL particles?
Here are some practical low-carb food swaps that drop ApoB levels, shift LDL from small, dense to large fluffy particles, and save you money for real food.
No drugs needed for most people. Team Ribeye or Team Pharma?

Some of the most valuable practices in medicine were initially dismissed or suppressed — only for truth and better patient outcomes to eventually win out.
This reminds me of historical moments where groundbreaking ideas faced ridicule, yet proved lifesaving over time.

ApoB isn't just a number — it's the driver for every LDL bus. But not all buses are the same. Small sticky ones vs larger buoyant ones… and why your food can shift the entire fleet. The American Church of Cardiology wants expensive shots. There's a better upstream fix.
