Diabetics have continuous damage without functional, actual true repair on the inside of their arteries. And that I think is what's going on that no one's talking about. So the problem is not LDL. We should pay attention to it. If you're diabetic, okay, pay attention to it. But the problem is not the LDL.

The problem is the insulin resistance and the immune dysfunction that comes with it and the persistent damage to the endothelium, the persistent damage to arteries that comes with it, which leaves you susceptible.

right going back to the wood analogy we have ldl and i'm mixing my metaphors here but i think about ldl as wood and wood doesn't cause a fire right unless there's a spark right and you can build things out of wood you can build a cabin out of wood but when you have more sparks hormones yep cell walls cell membranes vitamin d3 it does all of these things lots of things are made from yes sex hormones cell membranes we need ldl we need ldl is the carrier

LDL is the carrier for all of these vital things in the human body. It doesn't initiate atherosclerosis, but if you have lots of sparks, that dry wood can light on fire, right? And again, I'm mixing my metaphors here. I talked about PUFA earlier as dry wood, but let's talk about LDL as dry wood here.

So yeah, hopefully that's not confusing for people, but you get the idea that like wood doesn't spontaneously combust into a fire, right? Right. What is valuable? LDL is valuable in the human body. It also has immune roles. So to say that ApoB is what we should be lowering without any attention to insulin sensitivity, oxidized LDL, LP little a, it's just ludicrous to me.

There's so much more to the picture here. Yeah.

I was in Costco the other day filming, and the corn oil has a big heart healthy label on it. It's got the little heart thingy. How is this possible? It's like an emoji. This is ludicrous. So let's talk about how we get insulin resistant, because this is interesting to me.

So when you go to your doctor, and I want the people that are listening to think about this, and your doctor checks your cholesterol, how often does your doctor do any metric that approximates your insulin sensitivity? They're not really telling you about fasting insulin. I have to constantly talk to people and say, ask your doctor for a fasting insulin.
