Story at-a-glance A study found that vegetarians who ate plant-based fake meat are 42% more likely to experience depression than those who don't, even when factors like age, BMI, and lifestyle are taken into account Eating fake meat leads to higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation linked to chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders Triglycerides were elevated and HDL cholesterol was lower in those eating fake meat, increasing their long-term risk for cardiovascular disease The body reacts to fake meat not because of its nutrients, but because of ultraprocessed ingredients and additives that disrupt immune signaling and metabolic function Even when blood nutrient levels appear normal, the deeper immune system activity reveals that fake meat is pushing your body toward inflammation and oxidative stress

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall.

Do our cholesterol numbers tell the full story? Cardiometabolic health encompasses more than just heart function—it includes metabolic processes, blood sugar control, lipid levels, and inflammation markers that affect your entire body's health. Fewer than 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy, making it crucial to look beyond standard cholesterol numbers to understand your complete cardiovascular risk profile.In today's episode, functional nutritionist Chris Newport explores hidden factors that could be quietly impacting your heart and metabolic health.You'll discover: • Why traditional cholesterol tests might miss critical warning signs • What the size of your LDL particles can reveal about your risk • The simple blood test that offers a clearer picture of heart disease risk • A genetic marker that could influence your heart health—whether your labs are "normal" or not • How your body's ability to shift between fuel sources impacts your long-term health • The surprising link between blood sugar, carbs, and cholesterol problems • A fresh look at heart health through the American Heart Association's updated roadmap • How your environment and lifestyle could silently shape your risk • Why tiny daily habits can lead to massive improvements over time

How Can I Lower My Triglycerides? “Going to the doctor for your fasting lipid panel results can be an exercise in confusion. You will get numbers for your total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (“unhealthy” cholesterol), HDL cholesterol (“healthy” cholesterol), and triglycerides. Although the major emphasis in treating abnormal lipid panel results focuses on getting LDL cholesterol below a certain level, your doctor might also make recommendations about your HDL and triglycerides.” Listen to today's episode for details, written by Thomas Campbell, MD at NutritionStudies.org  #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #lipid #triglycerides #cholesterol #cvd #cardiovasculardisease #lipidpanel   ======================== Original post: https://nutritionstudies.org/lower-triglycerides/  ========================== Related Episodes: 861: Eat Quinoa and Lower Triglycerides? https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/861-eat-quinoa-and-lower-triglycerides-by-dr-michael-greger-at-nutritionfactsorg  Related Episodes: use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search     Search for cholesterol, heart disease ========================= The T.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Last time we reviewed why interpreting your lab may lead you to the wrong diagnosis and treatment.  Today we continue our review of each lab panel and why the reference ranges on your lab results may not be the “Healthy Normal Range” that you should compare your results to. Lab reference ranges are established with a one-size-fits-all mentality, ignoring the numerous variables that influence blood results. Have you ever tried on a “one-size-fits-all “ANYTHING? Those clothes may fit 20% of the population but for the rest of us, the garment doesn't fit our width, weight or height! All one-size-fits-all lab reference ranges are much the same.  For example, the standardized “reference ranges” in the US serve as a one-size-fits-all “ideal range” applied to everyone, despite genetic differences, varying latitudes, and the diverse diets that characterize the American multiethnic population. This presents the first problem with using a single range for all people: variations among individuals based on differing genetic needs.  The second issue is that the ranges on the lab report indicate the minimum levels necessary for survival, not necessarily the healthiest blood levels for most individuals. Another example of one size doesn't fit all is the reference range for women's hormones. A range is displayed for cycling women, but there is no healthy range for menopausal women.  Does the range displayed refer to menopausal women with HRT, or menopausal women without HRT to treat their menopausal symptoms? Is the range based on what is healthy, or what is average? We aren't sure. Labs don't ask patients questions that could help interpret lab values. Therefore, they cannot provide a truly diagnostic reference range for any illness. They only consider gender and age, as reference ranges are solely adjusted for these two factors.  A doctor must interpret individual lab results alongside a patient's medical and surgical history, including established diseases, medications, supplements, hormonal treatments, and past lab values. For instance, laboratory companies should offer reference ranges based on whether a patient is menopausal, a woman is undergoing ERT, a man is receiving testosterone, a patient is on thyroid medication, a person is being treated for diabetes, or the diabetic tests are performed to diagnose diabetes.   Some Reference Ranges are Based on comparing results to Misleading formulas The best example of this issue is the Lipid Panel. Doctors use this panel to determine a person's risk for heart attacks caused by atherosclerosis. Most doctors don't know the formula for determining Total Cholesterol. This test doesn't predict heart disease in most patients, as the formula used to arrive at that number is not indicative of the disease. However, doctors have been advised that when   total cholesterol levels are high, a patient should start taking a statin, a drug that reduces blood cholesterol and sometimes lowers the rate of heart attacks in certain individuals, though it is rarely predictive in 50% of the population. The problem with the lipid panel is twofold: the LDL level indicates future atherosclerosis in only about 50% of the population and is not a specific test for future heart disease risk. Total cholesterol is even less predictive of heart disease because it stems from a flawed formula. Doctors interpret a high Total Cholesterol level as an indication that a patient may be at increased risk for heart disease in the future. When I test patients with elevated Total Cholesterol or high levels of LDL using a Cardiac Calcium Scan to measure plaque, only half of them actually produce plaque, and consequently, are not at risk for atherosclerotic heart disease. I believe that the Total Cholesterol number is derived from an inaccurate formula for determining a person's risk of future heart disease. The Total Cholesterol number is calculated using a flawed equation. The equation is as follows:         LDL + 1/5 Triglycerides+ HDL = Total Cholesterol Total Cholesterol = LDL (bad cholesterol) + 1/5 Triglycerides (high risk factor) + HDL (good cholesterol) Let's examine this formula simply like this:   Bad + Bad + Good does not equal Bad. Due to this incorrect formula, thousands, if not millions, of patients have been prescribed statin drugs for a lifetime without justification!  Statins carry risks. The list of side effects is extensive and includes muscle deterioration and statin-associated dementia. Unfortunately, most people who experience statin side effects are women. Women tend to have higher HDL levels than men. Additionally, they typically do not have atherosclerotic plaque until menopause and usually do not develop it after menopause if they undergo estrogen replacement therapy! This gender issue is just one of the problems with laboratory reference ranges that are not adjusted for sex. The total cholesterol values were developed solely from the blood levels of men, who typically have lower HDL levels. Women were excluded from the tests conducted to create this blood panel. For women, I dispel the myth that high total cholesterol predicts heart disease by recommending a Cardiac Calcium Scan to check for plaque. If a woman has no plaque by the age of 50 and is taking estrogen, she is unlikely to develop plaque in the future.  I still test them every 2-3 years to ensure that no metabolic changes have altered their risk, but I don't put much faith in the unreliable cholesterol blood panel. There is another blood test that has deceptive reference ranges: IGF-1 How about the GH-IGF-1 test, the test for Growth Hormone?  IGF-1 is a metabolite of GH that we can measure to determine how much the patient produces.  This hormone aids in healing and replenishing aging cells in patients after their growth is complete.  The healthy normal range with which I was trained, (150-350 MIU), has been changed to an age-adjusted normal that compares a person to others in her age category who had their blood drawn the previous year.  What is wrong with this? Growth hormone (GH) decreases with age and contributes to the declining health people experience as they grow older. Similarly, IGF-1 diminishes with age and illness, which means that the “reference range” essentially reflects that you are “average for the sick individuals who visit Quest to have their IGF-1 levels checked. ” IGF-1 levels can be enhanced through weight loss, testosterone replacement, and an increase in muscle mass. The current reference range does not indicate health or illness; it merely shows whether you fall within the average for your age group. This non-scientific method of determining “health” is widespread in contemporary medicine. By comparing aging individuals to others within the same age group, for hormones that decline with age, based on samples from sick patients who visit a specific lab in the past year, these labs label patients as “healthy” even when they are as ill as other individuals their age who go to that lab! This practice constitutes age discrimination! Regarding hormones, the levels we maintained during our fertile and youthful years correspond to the blood levels indicative of health in all individuals ages. For example: People who check their IGF-1 (Growth Hormone) levels and see a low “52 ng/ml” might feel satisfied that they are within the standard range (50-280 ng/ml). However, they may not realize that this range applies to older, unhealthy individuals, not to healthy young ones (150-350 ng/ml).  This is just one example of the issues that arise when non-medical individuals, who do not monitor these tests regularly, draw conclusions from the numbers.   Some illnesses require more than one blood test for diagnosis If you consider only one of the three tests for diabetes or prediabetes (Fasting Blood Sugar, HbA1c, and Insulin), you cannot self-diagnose as diabetic, prediabetic, insulin resistance or healthy.  Diabetes is a disease that has coincided with the rising number of obese individuals.  Both conditions affect nearly 50% of the American population. Blood tests cannot be interpreted accurately unless a patient has fasted for 12 hours; all three tests should be evaluated. When diagnosing diabetes and insulin resistance, we perform three tests to assess whether a patient has insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes. These tests guide our diagnosis and inform the treatment we provide based on their results. Fasting insulin is a highly misleading test. Over 15 years ago, a significant study was conducted that was believed to change the reference ranges for fasting insulin.  The new range set for normal fasting insulin was less than 10 mIU/ml. By publishing the reference range less than 18 mIU/ml, they miss diagnosing many patients with insulin resistance HBA1C is a test that gives a value of average blood sugar over three months. The results are often used alone to determine prediabetes and diabetes; however, considering all three aspects makes the diagnosis and treatment plan more specific for the patient. FBS (fasting blood sugar) is the third diabetes test. It is generally used as a screening test that prompts the ordering of the other two blood tests; however, some patients exhibit symptoms of diabetes and insulin resistance without having elevated fasting insulin levels. Many medications can raise diabetic test values, causing a patient to seem diabetic when they are actually experiencing a side effect of the drug.  One such medication is Atorvastatin.  The solution is not treating diabetes but rather adjusting the medication.  Hormone tests are especially challenging to interpret, Especially when testing free Testosterone in women Here are the problems with the free Testosterone test itself: Women have extremely low levels of free testosterone and testosterone compared to men. I have been informed by Quest that women's free testosterone levels are not reliable with current methods because they are not always reproducible when a test is conducted twice on the same day. This leads me to believe that hormone levels do not always reflect the actual blood levels of free testosterone and estradiol. The levels of testosterone in women are based on menopausal levels of T. Women have long been thought to not produce testosterone, so the “normal” levels are quite low, and 0 used to be considered normal- until one day I managed to persuade a medical director at Quest to increase it to 0.2! Women's testosterone is influenced by their production of E2 and E1, which inactivate free T. Women vary in how their cells respond to testosterone and estradiol. Receptor sites and their genetic acceptance of hormones can mean that the same blood level of testosterone in both sexes does not produce the same effects in all patients. Some women (and men) are resistant to E2 and T, or to one of the two. This indicates that the hormone-free T level may be optimal for one woman while being ineffective in alleviating any low T symptoms for another. The latter individual is T resistant, and we currently have no means outside of research labs to determine which women are sensitive and which are resistant. This requires that doctors and NPs look beyond typical reference ranges to effectively manage E2 and T replacement for women. Lastly some labs use the total testosterone level through a formula determine the free T. This carries inherent risks of reporting the wrong active level of testosterone. Total and free testosterone blood levels for men, are derived from results of older men, rather than from the blood levels that indicate health and the levels at which men experience no symptoms. This leads men to believe they are normal, even though they are symptomatic, and they can't get treatment. There is no time to discuss the reference ranges for LH, FSH, Estradiol, and Estrone; these topics will be addressed in a future blog. I hope I have encouraged you to review your blood work with your doctor or Nurse Practitioner, and not to act as your own doctor by interpreting your blood tests.

They've sent me a text to say I need to go onto Statins!!! Help. If I stop eating eggs and cheese will this resolve itself?  I walk at least 30 mins every day, make Macrame plant pot hangers and such, I have no bread or potatoes, hardly any sweet  potatoes, but I do enjoy eating nuts, walnuts,  pecan, almond flour, hazelnuts, a few peanuts too. These results have been slowing coming down since Feb, but the Drs are pressing me to take the damn statins. My Q-Risk is 12. Whatever that means. I also have been told I'm diabetic, hence not taking their drugs and doing the very low carb eating method.  Help.  I'm feeling frustrated and upset as the Diabetes and BHF say eat carbs!!! And take the meds.  Stupid Dr people in the UK.   Cholesterol Jason writes: Hi Robb, What is your professional position on cholesterol levels, specifically the "bad" cholesterol, LDL? Do you think the historic medical level guide indicated below is valid? There is varying literature out there that has departed from this and it seems a lot of modern medicine's take on fats and cholesterol are based on some bad science from the Keys studies of the 50s and 60s. Optimal: Less than 100 mg/dL Near optimal: 100 to 129 mg/dL Borderline high: 130 to 159 mg/dL High: 160 to 189 mg/dL Very high: 190 mg/dL and higher   Thanks!

It's not a critique of my in-laws, bc i do love them, super good people. But they get us sick almost every holiday season, and they have for years.

This Real Science Exchange episode was recorded during a webinar, which was part of a series. Watch all the presentations from this series here: https://balchem.com/animal-nutrition-health/resources-categories/real-science-lecture-series/previous-lectures/page/10/Early in lactation, the cow is incapable of eating enough to meet her dramatically increased requirements. As the cow's intake decreases near calving, there are fewer nutrient contributions from dry matter intake and she must alter nutrient partitioning to meet her increased needs by mobilizing fat and muscle stores. (1:18)Triglycerides from fat stores are broken down into non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glycerol. NEFA has two different fates in the postpartum cow: to the mammary gland as a precursor for milk fat synthesis, or to the liver to be oxidized for energy production. Glycerol enters the gluconeogenic pathway in the liver as a glucose precursor. (4:41)The capacity for the liver to use NEFA for energy is limited by the capacity of the TCA cycle. When the TCA cycle is at capacity, excess NEFA can either undergo incomplete oxidation to ketones or be repackaged back into triglycerides. If the capacity for other tissues to use ketones for energy is exceeded, then blood concentrations of ketones rise and negative outcomes from subclinical and clinical ketosis can occur. If triglycerides accumulate in the liver, negative outcomes associated with fatty liver can occur. Triglycerides can be transported out of the liver via very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) export; however, VLDL export does not keep up with triglyceride concentration during the transition period in dairy cows, largely because of a limiting amount of phosphatidylcholine. (5:51)Dr. White describes a series of experiments in her lab using liver cells in culture to investigate the relationship between choline supplementation and VLDL export. As choline supplementation to the cell culture increased, so did VLDL export from the cells into the media. In addition, increasing choline supplementation to the cell culture also decreased cellular triglyceride content. (10:54)Using gene expression and radiolabeled tracers over a series of experiments, Dr. White's group found that as choline supplementation increased, so did complete oxidation of NEFA to energy. This was accompanied by decreased incomplete oxidation to ketone bodies and decreased accumulation of lipids in the liver cells. Glucose and glycogen were also increased with increasing choline supplementation to the cell culture, and a decrease in reactive oxygen species was observed. In addition, choline-supplemented cultures exhibited an increase in metabolic pathways associated with methionine regeneration and methyl donation. (15:29)Dr. White then details the complexity of the metabolic pathways that intersect between choline and methionine. In similar experiments supplementing cell cultures with increasing amounts of methionine and choline, there were no effects of methionine on lipid export, oxidative pathways, or glucose metabolism. The main benefit of methionine was a marked increase in glutathione production. It's important to note that no interactions between choline and methionine were observed in this series of experiments. (19:37)There seems to be a clear biological priority for different sets of pathways for choline and methionine. Choline seems to be influencing lipid, glucose, and oxidative pathways, while methionine is primarily serving its role as an essential amino acid for cellular protein structure and generation, acting as a methyl donor, and impacting inflammation. Importantly, both the choline and methionine results observed in cell culture are paralleled in transition dairy cow studies. (24:14)Dr. White's lab further investigated the impact of methionine on inflammation. When cells were challenged with LPS to provoke an inflammatory response, methionine mitigated the inflammatory response. Similar results have been observed in liver tissue samples of transition cows. Methionine mitigated inflammatory markers and increased glutathione but did not influence reactive oxygen species. Conversely, choline decreased reactive oxygen species but did not change glutathione. (27:47)Choline and methionine are both essential nutrients, there are biological priorities for them as methyl donors, and they are not mutually exchangeable. The lack of interaction between choline and methionine in vivo or in vitro supports the idea of different biological roles for these nutrients.

I have been battling patellar tendon pain on and off for about ten years. Of recently, it has been constant in my left patellar tendon for about two months now. Any loading of the joint causes searing pain . Once warmed up it's more manageable especially with knee sleeves but I really can't do any loaded squats anymore, so I have moved to more deadlifting and sled work. My question is in regards to nutritional supplements to support tendon repair. I have been doing a higher dose 20-25g per day of grass fed hydrolyzed collagen, and I want to give it a couple months to see if it makes a difference, but have been intrigued with the rise of peptides, specifically BPC-157. Any insight on peptides in the lense of tendon repair and anti inflammation? Would love to get back to running more and Olympic lifts. Thanks!   LDL Increase after starting Keto Walt writes: After starting keto in January my LDL has increased steadily to 139 mg/dl. I started this diet, ostensibly, to improve my health. (Being a type 1 with two cardiac stents) My A1C improved greatly and my blood pressure normalized with a small intervention from 5mg of Bystolic in the a.m. I was on a lot more BP meds prior. All good, right? My cardiac NP, however, is not psyched on the increase in LDL and had me speak to a lipid specialist. Lipid specialist is old school and is vehemently opposed to this diet and way of eating and started in with the whole “red meat and fats are bad” speech. My numbers: Total cholesterol: 234 LDL: 139 VLDL: 16 Triglycerides: 81 Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 3.0 ApoB: 94 Lipoprotein A:

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain low pancreatic elastase on stool test. I have no GI symptoms or diagnosed disease, but out of curiosity ran comprehensive stool analysis, where pancreatic enzymes were low, butyrate producing bacteria were low and a positive h.pylori was found. Can those two be related? What specific food & supplements can I take to increase pancreatic elastase when dealing with h.pylori? Also, what's your stand on clostridium butyricum as a probiotic supplement to increase butyrate production? Thank you     Patrick: Hey dr hope all is well. I know theres certain things you don't like to talk about for certain reasons but i was wondering if you could give some information on getting a tetanus shot. Im 50 and know Its been a while since i have had one. Thanks keep up the great work     Lauren: (Product Review) have you heard of the sanctuary holistic wellness detox? Is it a good option for a detox? Is it normal to see parasites? Or is that too extreme of a detox?     Josh: Good Morning, Re-listening to latest mindpump episode with Dr Stephen Cabral 2332 and he mentions 10 vitality tests but only mentions one that I can find (A full body MRI). Looking to see what the complete list of 10 vitality tests are and if there is any content where this is posted to review. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Josh     Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, not overweight, moderate exercise x3/week. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine's been high since my twenties. I just got my bloods back and total cholesterol is 8.3, HDL 1.5 , LDL6.4, Triglycerides normal. Lipoprotein ratio is 0.89. I have always eaten high carb, lots of sugar. My doctor has insisted on putting me on Statins since an ultrasound of my carotic arteries shows minor very soft plaque, lining within normal limits. I have now cut out sugar and added more fish, meat eggs, Omega 3, magnesium and vitamin D. Now I'm worried that the increased protein especially meat and eggs will raise my cholesterol level further. Would Berberine help for cholesterol? I often have low blood sugar so does that matter?
