Rethinking Cholesterol, Keto, and Cardiovascular Risk with Nick Norowitz

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
