The Dr. Hyman Show
Rethinking Cholesterol, Keto, and Cardiovascular Risk with Nick Norowitz

And I said, what I'm gonna do is an experiment. In this experiment, I'm gonna lock in my diet as a kind of strict baseline ketogenic diet, my normal one, for a couple weeks, and then I'm gonna do an intervention where I eat Oreo cookies, a sleeve per day, so that's 12 cookies, about 100 grams of net carbs, in addition to my diet. So I'm not swapping out fat, I'm adding this.

So I'm actually adding saturated fat, along with sugar and carbs, for about two weeks, and then I'm gonna do a washout period, kind of reset everything, and end up being a three-month washout period, And then I'm gonna try high-intensity statin therapy. So it was Crestor, 20 milligrams for six weeks. Gorilla statin.

In addition to this, I know how to dot my I's and cross my T's, so I went to Harvard, their institutional review board, got the appropriate exemptions for this experiment, had my PCP ordering all my labs into my electronical medical record, and then I got a consultant lipidologist, I don't know if you know Professor William Cromwell, but he trained Thomas Dayspring, Thomas Dayspring trained Peter Attia in lipidology.

So, William Cuomo, over 30 years of experience, he's the senior author on this paper and was consulting. So, I did this as by the books as you could in Oreo experiment. And then I executed and published the results, which were that the Oreo cookies lowered my LDL by 71% in just 16 days.

Now, the reason it was 16 days and not 14, I had mentioned two weeks, was because at the two-week mark, the drop was so astronomical. We wanted to make sure it wasn't a lab error, so we wanted to triplicate. So we said, we're going to measure the next two days. And it was still dropping. So that was the effect of the Oreo. And then the statins lowered my LDL by 32.5%.
