## Resource

The Cholesterol Code documentary is challenging long-held assumptions about LDL cholesterol, ketogenic diets, and what really matters for cardiovascular risk. In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Eric Westman, internist and low-carb researcher, to discuss the film's impact and what it could mean for the future of clinical practice. From Dave Feldman's citizen science journey to the growing body of evidence on type 2 diabetes reversal, this discussion explores why the conversation around cholesterol is finally starting to shift. You'll learn: What stood out most about The Cholesterol Code documentary Why elevated LDL on a ketogenic diet may not carry the risk many assume How citizen science is reshaping nutrition and metabolic health research Why type 2 diabetes reversal deserves far more clinical attention than it gets How GLP-1 medications and lifestyle interventions can work together responsibly Why the future of medicine depends on diet-focused research, not just drug trials For physicians, patients, and anyone interested in metabolic health, this conversation captures a pivotal moment in how the medical community is beginning to rethink cardiovascular risk, ketogenic therapy, and the power of lifestyle change. 🎥 Watch The Cholesterol Code documentary and join the conversation shaping the future of metabolic health: amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0GS8ZFCYN/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r 🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?
