Скачать или смотреть Can You Lower Cholesterol With Oreos? (This Doctor Tried It)

Who in the world would try to lower their cholesterol by eating an entire sleeve of Oreos every day for a month? Meet Nick Norwitz, PhD, an Oxford graduate and Harvard medical student who did just that—in an effort to test a hypothesis about cholesterol and metabolic health.

After reversing a serious inflammatory condition with a ketogenic diet, Nick saw his LDL cholesterol spike. Instead of panicking, he turned to research—and self-experimentation—to better understand what those numbers really meant.

In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore:

• The health crisis that led Nick to a ketogenic diet

• Why his LDL cholesterol jumped—and what questions it raised

• The Oreo experiment and what it did (and didn’t) reveal

• The nuance around LDL, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk

• What the science—and Nick’s own experience—suggests about meat, veganism, and finding a diet that works

Check out the episode to hear this fascinating conversation.
