How to Lower Your Cholesterol on Keto (Ketogenic Diet)

So I keep getting this question over and over and over. So I wanted to create a slightlydifferent video on this topic, how to lower your cholesterol and keto. If you’re stillconcerned about it, which you really shouldn’t be, because if you did an advanced lipid test,you’re going to find that the type of cholesterol that’s very, very damaging,it’s a certain type of LDL, is actually normal or low. But if you want to lower the cholesterol,

okay, this is the video for you. What you need to know is the fat cell is composed ofthis type of fat, triglycerides, which is used as fuel, and it’s composed of cholesterol.You may have not known that 25% of that fat cell, up to 50% of the fat cell, is cholesterol.It’s a lot. Now, if you’re obese, it would be 50%. If you have a normal weight, it’d be 25%.percent. Well, guess what? You can’t use cholesterol as fuel. So it has to come out

through the body if you have excess amounts of it. You need certain amounts, but the rest iseliminated with the help of bile. Bile is the key detergent that helps break down this fattysubstance so then the pancreas can then release its enzyme lipase to dissolve it fully okay sothis excess cholesterol is eliminated with help of bile so bile is not made by the gallbladderit’s made by the liver but it’s stored in the gallbladder so if you have a healthy liver

everything is cool but if your cholesterol goes up it could be that you’re just having a hard timeprocessing and regulating this excess cholesterol because your liver is fatty how do you know ifyou have a fatty liver just look down right now and see if your stomach bulges out if you have abelly that means you have a fatty liver and that could be one reason why you might be a bitdeficient in bile also if you have scar tissue in the liver let’s say you have cirrhosis that can

inhibit the production of bile or if you have inflammation like in hepatitis c that can createa deficiency of bile now endotoxins let’s say you do a detox and it it kind of breaks open abacteria and releases certain endotoxins i’m not going to actually talk much about this but thisis one thing that can shut down the flow of bile the solution is going to be the same but that’sjust one mechanism or let’s say you don’t have a gallbladder okay you had it removed well you’re

going to be deficient in bile and then you do keto and now your cholesterol goes up because you don’thave enough bile to get rid of it all right now what can you do to kind of help lower thecholesterol if you’re concerned just make sure your vegetables are minimally seven cups per daythat’s going to help lower cholesterol it’s because fiber helps to regulate cholesterolsecond thing is to actually take bile salts you can get them in a purified state i put a link

down below for more information on this one right here choline acts as a bile salt as well in factcholine is one of the things that makes up your bile it’s really good for a fatty liver but italso breaks down fat and cholesterol niacin also helps you break down fat it helps to lower ldlincrease HDL and decrease triglycerides. A lot of people with high cholesterol are taking niacin.It’s very inexpensive and it has virtually no side effects. So these are the things that can

greatly help you lower your cholesterol. You just have to realize that over time, when you fullyadapt to the ketogenic diet, this will come down, okay? Because you’re going to get to a point whereyou don’t have as much fat to lose. And also by doing the ketogenic diet, you’re going todecrease the fat in the liver, and increase the function of the liver and the production of bile,helping you really regulate this more normal the longer you do this. All right, thanks for watching.
