First of all, I had no interest in nutrition, medicine, even really science that much as much as I did engineering. And so I've been a software engineer my whole life for the first, let's say, four decades of my life. And then I'd gone on a ketogenic diet. And going on a ketogenic diet, I just felt great. It was so wonderful.

And at the time I was training with running and so forth, I was setting personal records. I lost a bunch of weight. And I thought I just kind of found the fountain of youth and couldn't stop telling my friends, especially my family, my dad and my sister adopted at the same time.

What happened, though, was while their blood work came back looking fine, including lipids like cholesterol, mine shot through the roof. That ended up changing my whole trajectory, literally for my life for like the last decade. That's what ultimately led me to where I'm at today.

So when you get your quote unquote lipids, the lipid panel has four different markers on it. One is total cholesterol. The second, the one most people are paying attention to is called LDL cholesterol. Often the mnemonic is that it's the L for lousy, lousy cholesterol. Then there's HDL cholesterol, which is the so-called good cholesterol.

And then there's triglycerides, which is a measure of fat in the blood. Usually a doctor is looking at those first two. They're looking at total cholesterol or they're paying attention to LDL cholesterol. And the ranges for that, total cholesterol per the guidelines, they're supposed to be 200 or less. LDL cholesterol is supposed to be 100 or less.

And then frankly, they don't pay much attention to HDL and triglycerides quite the same. Now, my historic LDL cholesterol was between 120 to 130. And my doctor was usually like, ah, it's about the average of what I see for an adult male. But it would be nice if it was a little bit lower. But I go on a ketogenic diet and my LDL, goes from that 120, 130 up to 250. So naturally, I'm quite concerned.

And my doctor says this is like one of the highest cholesterols I've seen. And I almost never see somebody change to this level of cholesterol because usually it's genetic. That's where the tie-in with my dad and my sister are relevant. They go on the same diet about the same time. They don't see this jump in cholesterol. And that's what got this whole obsession going for me.
