Send us a textWide release date: August 25, 2025Episode Summary: Dr. Uffe Ravnskov talks about his decades-long career challenging the idea that high cholesterol causes heart disease, discussing LDL's protective role in the immune system by binding to bacteria, the harms and biases in statin research influenced by pharmaceutical companies, evidence that high cholesterol benefits the elderly and reduces infection/cancer risks, and how mental stress or infections elevate cholesterol as a response rather than a cause.About the guest: Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD is a physician and independent researcher who earned his MD from the University of Copenhagen in 1961 and a PhD in nephrology. He has worked in various clinics in Sweden since the 1960s, focusing his research on challenging the cholesterol hypothesis in heart disease. Now 91, he has published over 200 papers, authored books like "The Cholesterol Myths.”Discussion Points:LDL cholesterol helps the immune system by sticking to bacteria, clumping them for removal; low LDL increases infection risk.Animal studies show injecting LDL protects against lethal infections, while historical data links severe infections to worse atherosclerosis.Elderly people with high cholesterol live longer; low cholesterol raises mortality risk more than high levels.Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) doesn't cause early death via cholesterol alone—co-inherited coagulation factors are the issue, and FH patients often have lower infection rates.Statins lower LDL but increase infection risk, cause muscle weakness/brain issues (often blamed on aging), and show no clear benefit in unbiased meta-analyses.Research biases include cherry-picking studies, exaggerating benefits via relative (not absolute) risk, and pharma funding suppressing critical views.Mental stress can raise cholesterol by 10-50% in 30 minutes, often misread as a heart disease cause rather than an effect.Saturated fat and high cholesterol aren't proven harmful; Ancel Keys' claims ignored contradictory evidence.Stopping statins often reverses side effects quickly, improving quality of life.Related episode:M&M 244: Seed Oils & Heart Disease: Oxidized LDL, Cholesterol, Fat & Cardiology | Tucker GoodrichReference Paper:LDL-C does not cause cardiovascular disease: a comprehensive review of the current literature*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

What if everything you've been taught about healing chronic disease is completely backwards? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by presenting a simpler, more fundamental approach to health restoration that begins not with complex interventions but with thorough detoxification.The conversation tackles one of medicine's biggest blind spots: the connection between parasitic infections and seemingly unrelated chronic conditions. Dr. Lodi explains how strongyloides can persist in the body for decades, affecting multiple organ systems, while schistosomiasis often underlies squamous cell carcinomas of the bladder. These revelations prompt us to question whether we're treating symptoms while missing root causes.Central to Dr. Lodi's philosophy is the understanding that the body possesses remarkable healing intelligence when given the opportunity to function without toxic interference. He details a practical approach starting with extended vegetable juice cleansing (3-8 weeks minimum), coupled with colon cleansing to facilitate elimination. This foundational step must precede any targeted interventions, whether for parasites, chronically fermenting cells (what conventional medicine calls cancer), or autoimmune conditions.The discussion challenges popular dietary approaches, explaining why humans thrive on raw, uncooked plant foods consumed within limited time windows. Dr. Lodi references migration studies showing that disease patterns follow cuisine rather than genetics, underscoring how cultural conditioning has disconnected us from our nutritional instincts. His perspective offers a refreshing alternative to the increasingly complex world of specialized diets and supplement protocols.Beyond physical interventions, Dr. Lodi emphasizes the spiritual dimension of healing—Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 13 août 2025 avec Pascale Hebel, économiste et directrice associée de C-WaysEmission présentée par Salhia Brakhlia..Au moins 21 cas de listériose, dont deux mortels, ont été signalés ces dernières semaines en France. Les autorités sanitaires évoquent un « lien possible » avec plusieurs fromages au lait pasteurisé produits par la fromagerie Chavegrand, basée dans la Creuse, et vendus dans de nombreuses enseignes comme Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour, Lidl, Système U, Intermarché, Grand Frais, Cora ou Aldi. Les produits rappelés incluent notamment des camemberts, fromages de chèvre, gorgonzolas et bries. Infection grave, la listériose peut avoir une incubation allant jusqu'à huit semaines et provoquer maux de tête, fièvre ou courbatures. Les autorités appellent les consommateurs à vérifier leurs achats et à rapporter en magasin les produits concernés.Foodwatch dénonce « un scandale sanitaire évitable ». L'association de défense des consommateurs affirme avoir repéré, dès le mois de juin, des produits issus de la même fromagerie et présentant la même suspicion de contamination à la listeria. « L'entreprise aurait dû prendre les mesures d'hygiène nécessaires et s'assurer qu'elle ne commercialisait plus de produits dangereux », déclare l'organisation dans un communiqué, estimant que certains rappels sont intervenus trop tard.En France, le dispositif de retrait et de rappel, instauré après la crise de la « vache folle » en 1996, impose de retirer immédiatement des rayons les lots concernés dès l'alerte. Plusieurs affaires ont marqué les dernières années, du lait infantile Lactalis contaminé aux pizzas Buitoni, en passant par les lasagnes à la viande de cheval Findus. En 2024, le nombre d'aliments présentant des risques de contamination s'élevait à 2 087 selon Rappel Conso, soit 5 alertes par jour. Comment sont effectués les contrôles sanitaires ? Comment les produits sont-ils tracés puis retirés du marché ?Pascale Hebel, économiste et directrice associée de C-Ways, reviendra sur les lots de fromages rappelés en France et expliquera comment s'organisent les contrôles sanitaires.

If you've been trying to conceive with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or poor egg quality and nothing seems to be working… or if you've experienced failed IVF cycles or unexplained pregnancy loss - this episode is for you. We're diving into one of the most overlooked infections that could be silently impacting your fertility: Ureaplasma. This commonly missed microbe can compromise egg quality, disrupt implantation, and contribute to early miscarriage, even when labs appear “normal.” Whether you're TTC naturally or preparing for an IVF or FET cycle, you'll learn: How Ureaplasma affects egg and embryo quality, implantation, and ovarian reserve Why this infection is often missed on standard fertility workups The importance of partner testing and treating both partners When and how to test for Ureaplasma The functional fertility approach we use at Fab Fertile to rebalance the vaginal and seminal microbiome for optimal conception If you've done “all the things” and still aren't seeing results, this episode may reveal a missing piece of your fertility puzzle. This episode is for you if: You're struggling to conceive naturally despite doing “all the right things.” You've had failed IVF transfers, poor egg quality, or low ovarian reserve without clear answers. You've experienced recurrent infections or unexplained pregnancy losses. 5 Key Points: Why Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma are often missed in standard fertility testing and why they matter for egg quality, implantation and pregnancy maintenance. How Ureaplasma can contribute to low AMH, high FSH, and diminished ovarian reserve by increasing inflammation in the reproductive tract and altering the vaginal microbiome. The link between Ureaplasma and recurrent miscarriage, failed IVF, and abnormal embryos, even when other tests are “normal”. The functional fertility approach to addressing Ureaplasma with targeted antimicrobials, vaginal microbiome restoration, and gut health support for natural and assisted conception. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Intro: Ureaplasma's hidden role in fertility struggles, natural conception, failed IVF, low AMH, DOR, poor egg quality, and unexplained pregnancy loss. [00:01:00] Who this episode is for: Fertility challenges including low AMH, high FSH, DOR, RPL, recurrent infections, and unexplained infertility. [00:02:00] What is ureaplasma? Impact on vaginal and seminal microbiome, egg and sperm quality, inflammation, and implantation failure. [00:03:00] Who should get tested?

Researchers found it didn't affect fertilization or embryo quality but was linked to lower pregnancy rates after embryo transfer. The culprit? Infection in the endometrial lining which can disrupt implantation. So even if embryos look good Ureaplasma can still sabotage IVF success. https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article-abstract/6/5/727/609246?redirectedFrom=fulltext This study looked at whether Ureaplasma urealyticum in men's semen affects IVF. The results? Fertilization and pregnancy rates were the same for infected and uninfected men. But here's the thing, miscarriage rates were much higher in couples where the male partner had the infection. So Ureaplasma might not stop you from getting pregnant but it can increase the risk of losing the pregnancy. https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(98)00472-5/fulltext Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH ---

Ethics in the field of infectious disease can be a delicate interplay between treating the individual patient and protecting the collective health of a society. Sometimes these two mandates go hand in hand; at other times they can appear to be in conflict. In this episode of Communicable, Dr. Angela Huttner invites Drs. Zeb Jamrozik (Melbourne, Australia) and Beenish Syed (Karachi, Pakistan), two members of ESCMID's Ethics Advisory Committee, to unpack different scenarios encountered in the field of infectious disease from an ethics standpoint: how one ethically allocates scarce resources like antimicrobials; whether there is ethical justification for coercive public-health measures like lockdowns; and whether the need to collect evidence to advance patient care could include other models besides opt-in informed consent. This episode was edited by Dr. Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Dr. Goulia Ohan of Yerevan State Medical University, Yerevan, Armenia.Further reading:Barosa M, et al.

Let's say you were asked to name the greatest health risks facing the planet. Priceton University economist Ramanan Laxminarayan, founder and director of the One Health Trust, would urgently suggest you include anti-microbial resistance near the top of that list. “We're really in the middle of a crisis right now,” he tells interview David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast. “Every year, about 5 million people die of infections that are associated with antibiotic resistance -- 5 million. That's nearly twice the number of people who die of HIV, TB and malaria, put together -- put together. Antibiotic resistance and associated deaths are the third leading cause of death in the world, after heart disease and stroke. So you're talking about something that's really, really big, and this is not in the future. It is right now.” The underlying problem, simply put, is that humans are squandering perhaps the greatest health innovations in the last century by using antibiotics stupidly, allowing pathogens to develop resistance and thus rendering existing antibiotics worthless. For the last 30 years and in particular through One Health Trust and as director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Antimicrobial Resistance, Laxminarayan has labored to make both shine a light on anti-microbial resistance and push for policies to address it. This, he tells Edmonds, is a social science problem even more so than a medical science problem – but not the exclusive province of either. “I think one of the failures of economics,” he says, “in some ways, is that we don't take the trouble to understand the nitty gritty of the actual other field, especially when it deals with health economics or environmental economics.” In addition to his role as a senior research scholar at Princeton, Laxminarayan is an affiliate professor at the University of Washington, a senior associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde.

In this episode of the Health Accelerator Community (HAC) through Ageless Future, Regan Archibald explores the root causes of brain fog and cognitive decline, highlighting how chronic stress, poor sleep, and neuroinflammation can impair brain function. He explains the role of the hippocampus in memory and how changes in brain structure, particularly due to aging or conditions like Alzheimer's, can be detected early through symptoms such as forgetfulness, social withdrawal, and diminished focus. Regan discusses how environmental toxins, allergies, and lifestyle stressors disrupt neuroplasticity and outlines the EPIC framework—Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals—as key inflammatory triggers. He introduces actionable strategies to restore brain health, including diagnostic testing, optimizing sleep, exercise, cortisol regulation, targeted nutrients, and innovative peptide and regenerative therapies like cerebrallysin, CMAX, and umbilical cord plasma. Listeners are encouraged to monitor their cognitive clarity over 30 days using wearables and journaling, with an invitation to explore deeper evaluation and support through upcoming retreats and personalized protocols. www.agelessfuture.com

There are more than sixteen thousand care homes across the UK, housing around half a million people. Staggering numbers. They are meant to be places of safety, support, and quiet, relaxed companionship for the people who live and work in them. But when COVID-19 arrived, they became one of the pandemic's deadliest frontlines. In a bid to see what might be possible, the Vivaldi Study - a nationwide effort to gather data from inside care homes - was launched. Can better data improve the lives of people in care homes?

With over 25 years of leadership across Abbott, WaferGen, Asuragen, and more, Rollie is now focused on solving one of healthcare's most urgent crises: Sepsis.In this episode, we explore why sepsis, despite causing more than 48 million deaths annually remains so poorly understood and misdiagnosed. Rollie breaks down why early detection is so difficult, how gene expression profiling can finally distinguish between infectious and non-infectious inflammation and the real-world barriers to clinical trial design, FDA approval and physician adoption. We also cover military use cases, the lack of gold standards in sepsis diagnostics and what needs to change in how hospitals are incentivised to tackle this conditionTimestamps:[00:00:26] Why Sepsis Remains Underdiagnosed Globally[00:01:42] What Sepsis Actually Is and Why It's So Deadly[00:03:14] Who's Most at Risk: Age, Immunity, and Beyond[00:04:25] Detecting Sepsis Through Gene Expression[00:05:39] Why Blood Cultures Aren't Enough Anymore[00:09:14] FDA Approval Without a Gold Standard: The Regulatory Maze[00:12:39] Sepsis Isn't Always Bacterial and Why That Matters[00:15:20] How Physicians Are Reacting to New Molecular Tools[00:17:35] Beyond Sepsis: Expansion Into Infectious Diseases[00:18:57] From Marine Biologist to Diagnostics PioneerGet in touch with Rollie - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rollie-carlson-ph-d-059074a/ Learn more about Immunexpress - https://immunexpress.com/ Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalSubscribe to the Podcast

Before adjusting your thyroid meds, have you ever ruled out gut-based triggers?Gut imbalances can have a bigger impact on thyroid health than most realize, especially in autoimmune conditions like Graves' and Hashimoto's. When the gut barrier breaks down, the immune system can get confused and prevent symptoms from fully improving. Testing can also be tricky, and just because something shows up doesn't always mean it needs to be treated. In this episode, I walk through how I approach these situations; how to evaluate critically, when to dig deeper, and when the priority should be foundational support like stress, sleep, and diet.Tune in to get a clearer picture of how gut health could be influencing your thyroid!Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Introduction to the Question00:08 – How infections can impact gut and thyroid function01:15 – Molecular mimicry and immune confusion01:35 – Infections and overgrowths that may influence autoimmunity02:36 – Testing methods and treatment preferences03:39 – Parasite treatment debates and false negatives05:07 – Why root cause work goes beyond infection treatment06:03 – Episode Wrap up06:40 – Podcast OutroFree resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?
