When Jonathan Carey grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts where the infamous heart disease and cholesterol study has taken place over several generations, he thought he was living a pretty active and healthy lifestyle. But when he discovered he had a genetic condition known as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia that predisposed him to having higher cholesterol levels, especially LDL, he began on a journey that started him on the low-fat diet prescribed by Dr. Dean Ornish before discovering the work and research of Dr. Ronald Krauss and reading The Paleo Diet by Dr. Loren Cordain to discover better ways to improve his lipid profile.
Jonathan has become so passionate about researching and finding ways to increase his HDL cholesterol numbers that he’s now revealing ways that helped him triple his good cholesterol naturally without pharmaceutical medications. Listen in as Jimmy and Jonathan discuss precisely how he’s doing it despite his genetics and how others can improve their HDL cholesterol, too!

Seems like Dr. Krauss used to be saying that saturated fat is harmless but his newer research seems to show that eating lots of beef plus dairy fat is risky business. Here’s the quote from this year:
RON KRAUSS:
This is one of the surprises that keep life interesting for us for us as researchers and also for the world out there who happens to be looking over our shoulder. In this case, the surprise was that the combination of the high beef diet and the high saturated fat diet caused very serious increases in all of the cholesterol related risk factors we had been measuring, including total particle numbers, small LDL, total LDL cholesterol, inflammation, whatever we looked at, we saw an adverse effect.
