Today we’re going to talk about cholesterol, and I want to cover the seven foods that lower bad cholesterol. HDL is considered good cholesterol, and LDL is considered bad cholesterol. But, there are two types of LDL. The real villain when it comes to cholesterol and heart problems is a very specific type of LDL. To measure this type of LDL, you have to ask for a test called an advanced lipid profile test. With this test, they’re looking at the number and size of the particles that carry cholesterol. The two types, or particle sizes, of LDL, are: 1. The large buoyant (pattern A) 2. The small dense (pattern B) The small dense LDL particles are the ones you have to be concerned about because they can penetrate the arteries, even though the large buoyant type carries more cholesterol. Small dense LDL is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. This topic can be confusing because some people have low LDL cholesterol but a high number of small dense particles. Others have high LDL with a high number of large buoyant particles. This is why it’s so important to get an advanced lipid profile test, so you have the whole picture of what’s going on. Top foods that lower bad cholesterol (small dense LDL): 1. Extra virgin olive oil 2. Avocados 3. Fish oils or cod liver oil 4. Pistachios 5. Dark chocolate (sugar-free) 6. Almonds 7. Walnuts Other things you can do to lower cholesterol naturally: • Take vitamin B3 (niacin) • Exercise • Take TUDCA Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I have brutally high cholesterol, even when I was super fit. I have metabolic syndrome, apparently, and post menopause. My doc "insisted" I go on statins, and I told her I would rather take my chances of heart attack than ruining my quality of life on a statin. I will handle it naturally through exercise and diet. I am not going to fall down the hill my parents fell down, with a lunchbox full of medications. NFW

Thanks again Dr. B!!! This is something a girlfriend (She is a Doctor) told me about decades ago and every one I shared it with thought she was nuts because the mainstream medical establishment definitely wasn’t saying it. I love how you share these amazing truths about our health. ❤

My cardiologist has been in practice for 50 years- I recently asked him to test for my low density LDL, he just shook his head and said "yes, we're looking at your LDL", referring to my total LDL. These doctors are so intractable. Smh

I hate it how doctors will not order the advanced test, before they first test the normal test. Why not just go get the whole picture right away??
