Film Screening: “The Cholesterol Code”
When: Monday, April 13th at 7pm
Where: AMC 11 at Dartmouth Mall in Dartmouth MA

Backstory: Dave Feldman is an engineer that successfully reversed his pre-diabetes with a low-carb diet, but his soaring LDL cholesterol put him at odds with conventional medical advice. The Cholesterol Code movie is about Dave's personal health experiment that grows into a global search for others like him, culminating in a crowd-funded research study. Using cutting-edge heart imaging, the study examines the link between LDL cholesterol and heart disease, and in the process questions assumptions that have shaped medical guidelines for decades.

THE CHOLESTEROL CODE is a high stakes mystery about the power of an everyday citizen to upend medicine by refusing to accept scientific dogma as truth.

You can watch the official trailer here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGeDbI6nt1w

Dr Fischer MD connection: Josh met Dave Feldman at a Continuing Medical Education conference in Florida. After watching his presentation about cholesterol and speaking to him, Josh learned of the movie and offered to help host a screening here on the Southcoast.

Full disclosure:
– The film will only be shown if a critical mass of people buy tickets (65 tickets must be sold, to be precise).
– If you reserve tickets and we don’t hit this critical mass, you will not be charged anything, so there is no risk to reserving tickets now.
– Dr Fischer MD has no incentive in promoting the film other than being interested in the topic. Dr Fischer MD does not make even one penny from the proceeds.

It's been a while!

As you may have noticed, Dr Fischer MD is not a regular user of social media. But social media is a great tool for getting information out quickly, so here we are.

Dr Fischer MD discusses metabolic health a great deal on his blog, but let's cut to the chase; here's the reason for this outreach: we'd like you to come see a movie about cholesterol.

If you know Dr Fischer MD, you know he is interested in practicing medicine in a way that finds solutions to enhance patient care—solutions that are sometimes out of the box, but backed by science & research.

This film came to his attention via Dave Feldman. Dave is an engineer that successfully reversed his pre-diabetes with a low-carb diet, but his soaring LDL cholesterol put him at odds with conventional medical advice.

In this election year, we are likely to hear politicians from both major parties blather on about their preferred solution for “healthcare.” I can accept that intelligent people, acting in good faith, can come to very different conclusions about how our system should be run in the United States, but what drives me crazy is how the very parameters of the debate indicate muddled thinking and an inability to clearly articulate the nature of the problem….

…our leaders have spent the past few decades debating health insurance (how to PAY for healthcare), they have completely neglected the supply of that healthcare as well as the health of the population….

To read a more in-depth analysis of this complex issue, check out my blog post on this problem. Here on social media, I only touch on the topic.

I'm excited to share my recent conversation on the Healthcare Americana podcast!

I had the pleasure of discussing my journey from traditional healthcare to launching my Direct Primary Care practice, Dr Fischer MD. I now have the freedom to blend conventional treatments with holistic medicine, including body composition analysis, red light therapy, & personalized lifestyle management.

A big thanks to Christopher Habig and the entire Healthcare Americana team for having me!
