Want To Look At The Big Picture And The Balance Between Some Key Markers, So I'm Going To Designate
With Arrows, If Something Stayed The Same If It Got Better Or If It Got Worse So My Total Cholesterol
Went From 207 To 277. So That Is About The Same And Now You're Just Saying Hey This Guy Is Totally
Crazy 207 Is Not The Same As 277 And Yes I Can See That The Number Changed But What I'm Talking About Is A Risk Factor The Total Risk Factor And We're Going To Talk A Lot About That, My Ldl,
Went From 1 36 To 201 And That Is Also About The Same Because By Themselves Those Markers Don't
Mean A Lot My Triglycerides Stayed About The Same, Both The Number And The Risk Factor
My HDL, Went Up A Good Bit, So That's A Little Bit Of An Improvement Isn't Always Better
Once You Get Up To 90 Or 100 Then It Can Be High For The Wrong Reasons But If You're 50 60
70 Range Then More Is Better Also My TCH, Went Up Which Has To Do With Thyroid Function And A Slow
Thyroid Can Reduce Your Ability To Process And Metabolize Cholesterol And Then We're Going To
Talk About The Size Of The LDL Particles And Here's Something That Got A Little Bit Worse
Designated By A Red Arrow But The Question Is How Much Worse Did It Get So If You Stay With
Me You're Going To Grasp This Picture And I Don't Want Anyone Ever To Get On A Damaging Medication
For The Wrong Reasons If You're Going To Start Something, You Need To Know Why And You Need To
Understand At Least Most Of These Markers What They Mean And How They Relate Also, We Need
Of Course A Few Disclaimers My Results May Not Be Typical To Don't Compare Your Results To Mine But
Rather Understand The Mechanisms That I'm Talking About This Is A Study Called N Of 1 Meaning The
Sample Size Is One Person, So, Statistically, That Means Very Little And Results Are Also Going
To Depend On Genetics And Your Overall Metabolic Health Finally, This Study Is Only Seven Days
So In That Time Period, You're Not Going To See A Lot Of Long-term Changes, Why Was That? So Short
Well You Try Eating 15 Eggs A Day And Seven Days Are Going To Seem Like A Pretty Long Time We
Also Want To Understand That Results Can Be Skewed By Events And Complications That Happen, So If On
Day Four You Run Into Some Yellow Jackets Or Three Of Them And You're Highly Sensitive That
Can Create An Inflammatory Cascade That Can Also Skew The Results, So I Don't Know If This
Influenced It, But We Have To Keep Things Like That At The Back Of Our Minds And We Also Need To
Understand The Concept Of Margin Of Error If Something Just Changes A Couple Of Points
It Really Doesn't Mean Anything, So In This Case This Is The Same Test On Page 1 And Page Three It Is
The Same Blood Draw It Was Six Vials Taken From The Same Vein At The Same Time On 10, 12, And Yet
When They Send It To Two Different Departments, One It To Evaluate The NMR, And Want To Do The Regular
Lipid Profile We Get Two Different Results, So For This Test On 10, 12 There's Four Percent
Discrepancy In The Cholesterol That They Measured And When They Checked The Triglycerides There Was
Even A 16 Margin Of Error And This Is Something They Measure From The Same Blood Sample And Then
The Marker That Most People Are The Most Concerned LDL, Cholesterol And If You Notice In
Parentheses Here It Says That Means They Don't Actually Measure LDL, Cholesterol Well
Most Of The Time Because It's Very Expensive, Most Of The Time They're Going To Calculate It Based On
Total Cholesterol HDL, And Triglycerides They Have A Very Complicated Formula But If There's An
Error Or Margin Of These Numbers Then You're Also Going To Have A Margin Of Error On LDL, So In This
Particular Case There Was An Eight Percent Error On The LDL, And Then Eight Days Later When I Did It
Again I'm Not Going To Give You All Those Numbers But We Had Four Percent On The Total We Had One
And A Half Percent Error On The Triglycerides And We Had A Four Percent Error On The LDL, So All Of
This Is Just To Say That Don't Look At Too Much At The Nitty-gritty If One Marker Changes It Doesn't
Really Mean A Lot Of Eight Markers Change Then We Want To See They're Moving, In The Same
The Direction Do We See A Trend Do We Understand How These Work Together And If You Came Here To Find
Out What Happens If You Eat 100 Eggs In Seven Days The First We Have To Understand What Is Supposed
To Be A Healthy Cholesterol, And What Is Really A? Healthy Cholesterol So, First, Of All Here Is What's
Supposed To Be This Is What We've Been Told That There Are Different Levels Of Cholesterol That Range
From Dangerous At Risk To What's Called Heart Healthy And In The General Model, Lower Cholesterol
Is Always Healthier, But We're Going To Question That Very Strongly, So They Say A Total
Cholesterol Should Be Less Than 200 You're At Risk Between 200 And 239 And Over 240 It Is A
