as people can see on all my blood work which are at the jre show notes at heart and soil dot co front slash rogan my hdl was 90 and my triglycerides were also low my crp is low so it challenges the theories really straight on
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

it's why i got a coronary artery calcium scan which is zero so there's no calcified plaque in my heart arteries
i did one about a year and a half ago and my coronary artery calcium score was zero at that time i was 42 or 43. my father has a history of coronary artery disease that is early so i have a major risk factor for coronary heart disease historically but eating animal foods for so long i have zero plaque in my arteries based on a coronary artery calcium skin
i had a coronary artery calcium scan about a year and a half ago which was a big fat zero so there was no calcium in my arteries on that scan which is not perfect but it was a pretty good indicator and at the time i had quote unquote elevated ldl but remained insulin sensitive with a low fasting insulin etc
so that is my own personal experimentation i'll do another calcium score soon my ldl was as high as 500 once when i checked it but most of the time it's around 200 or 220 it goes up and down i don't know what caused it to be 500 that one time maybe it was stress uh it was actually after a very very hard workout that it went that high so that might have been stress related but most of the time it's in the 200s my hdl is usually around 80 or 90 or 100 and my triglycerides are usually below 80 milligrams per deciliter my ldl size is quite big it's over 24 nanometers i challenge you to find anyone else with an ldl particle that big but my apob is going to be elevated but my fascination is super low so i don't worry about it so this is my calcium score from july 2020 so two years ago calcium score is zero
almost all cardiac radiologists who look at ct coronary angiograms would say that i should have calcification in my arteries at those levels of ldl for years leading up to that coronary calcium scan that showed a cta that showed a cac score of zero
And that's in the context, right? Everyone says, "Oh, well, maybe you have great genetics." No. My dad died of heart disease. My dad had bypass surgery. My grandmother had heart surgery. Uh, I have two siblings who both have nonzero scores, we'll say. And so, it's clearly not genetics working in my favor. It's what I'm doing. It's the diet. It's the lifestyle.
