So, your cholesterol is high? The big question my guest today is asking is - does it even matter? Why this does matter so much is because Dave Feldman and his network of researchers are asking a fundamentally new question about cholesterol and lipids, and whether they are in fact energy adaptogens, responsible for trafficking energy under the right conditions around the body and not predictable of cardiovascular disease. Because if Oreos can lower your “bad” cholesterol as much as a statin, medicine may not actually understand “bad” cholesterol or even cholesterol overall.

Dave Feldman, a senior software engineer and entrepreneur. Drawing on his engineering background, he recognized parallels between the lipid system and distributed objects in networks, prompting him to delve deeply into the subject through extensive research and personal experimentation.

He is also the creator and producer of his new film The Cholesterol Code, coming up in the fall of 2025: https://cholesterolcodemovie.com

Join us as we explore:

A completely contrary and potentially revolutionary lens for understanding cholesterol levels, lipids as an energy model and what actually drives cardiovascular disease.
Why the “saturation hypothesis” is asking new questions about the relevance of apolipoprotein b.
The lean mass hyper responder - who they are, how to identify them, what it is, why it matters and how Nick Norwitz used Oreos to lower his LDL better than pharmaceutical statins.
The most important biometric data points aside from cholesterol that signals cardiovascular health risk.
