What if everything you thought you knew about cholesterol was wrong? In this episode of Bulletproof Radio cholesterol expert Jimmy Moore about how we’re being lied to about our cholesterol health. We discuss triglycerides and lab results and reveal a wealth of information on the basics of cholesterol. You’ll learn the difference between LDL and HDL, why you don’t have to be fat to have bad heart health, and why low cholesterol is bad for baby making! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy! In January 2004, Jimmy Moore made a decision to get rid of the weight that was literally killing him. At 32 years of age and 410 pounds, the time had come for a radical change of lifestyle. A year later, he had shed 180 pounds, shrunk his waist by 20 inches, and dropped his shirt size from 5XL to XL. He is regarded as a fan of low carbohydrate diets and eating plans and promotes them through his blog, books, YouTube videos and podcasts. He currently resides in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Moore's latest book Cholesterol Clarity is a joint venture with Dr. Eric C. Westman. This book lays out in plain language what the numbers in a cholesterol test mean, and what can be done about them.

In this fun and down to earth episode you’ll hear John and I talk about Paleo being a biohack and cricket-based protein! Whether you live in a cave now or just plan on retiring in one, there’s something in this show for everyone. John Durant is an author and health entrepreneur. He recently released his first book – The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health – in which he advocates using evolutionary principles to combat the global epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions. He studied evolutionary psychology at Harvard before moving to New York City and becoming a “professional caveman”: running barefoot through Central Park, mimicking a hunter-gatherer diet, experimenting with intermittent fasting, and doing polar bear swims in the Atlantic. John has been featured in the New York Times, and interviewed on The Colbert Report and NPR Morning Edition. He keeps a freezer chest full of organ meats in the bedroom of his Manhattan apartment, and he is fully aware of how strange that is.     See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
