  Portfolio diet:<br>1) lower intake of saturated fat<br>2) increase intake of soluble fiber ie. okra, eggplant<br>3) increase intake phytosterols ie. nuts, seeds<br>4) increase soybean intake ie. tempeh, tofu<br>That&apos;s all, no need for a 1hour video.

  People want shorter videos because they have short attention spans. This video gives the guest time to explain everything.

  I wanted to share this with all who are interested, in the hope that my experience will help you: 🙂... Roughly two years ago I discovered that my cholesterol was getting higher (following yearly blood tests, as I was 58 years old etc.). I changed my diet and I have been able to reduce my LDL (Bad) cholesterol and increase my HDL (Good) cholesterol. My LDL came down from 3.9 to 3.6 (in the first year) and now it is 3.3. My HDL (the Good Stuff...) is up from 1.8 to 2.0 this year. I am doing the kind of thing that they recommend in this programme - primarily, increasing the good fats in my diet and reducing the bad ones. &nbsp;I know everyone&apos;s situation is different...but I am offering this information as proof that it can work and I hope this is helpful to some of you. &nbsp;All the best, C

  I found this information incredibly helpful. It helped me to better understand the elements, pathways, etc of how the elements of cholesterol work. I think Sarah did a great job of giving us a mini-lecture and now we can do our own research and come up with the foods that actually come under the categories she mentions. The lists of those are abundant on the internet, but the explanation she gave is unique. So helpful to me, so thank you.

  I found this very informative reminding me of dietary good sense that most of us have, but I personally, unlike many here, often overlook!<br>I have a PT at home once a week, train alone with kettlebells a second time in accordance with my PT who told me to allow my body to rest between sessions.<br>I walk daily, sometimes high speed sometimes a stroll, I do Qi Gong or yoga most morns too. I live in Italy near the pre Alps so high mountain walking once a week and everyday is an up and down!<br>I try to eat well, do not always succeed, but here we only use olive oil and mostly veg and legumes anyhow. I like a glass of wine and I have a pizza once a week.<br>Feels like a confession, but there you go. Most of you are so inspiring and I read all the comments for the info.<br>I am 68, I was on statins for hereditary high cholesterol but now am in the process of transitioning &nbsp;to Ezetimbe as my creatine kinase &nbsp;results are consistently higher than they should be.<br>Thank you all for the positive and informed posts, especially those around and beyond my &nbsp;age.

  Je souffrais de l’arthrose et migraine ophtalmique il y a 1 an et demi. <br>Depuis que j’ai changé mon alimentation depuis il y a plus un an ( régime cétogène) .<br>Mes douleurs articulaires sont disparues, plus de fatigue dans la journée, plus de <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euSd9bsFwxc">0:00</a> migraine, mon niveau d’énergie a augmenté, plus de « brain fog », ma peau est plus belle. <br>je me sent super très bien. <br>😊

  I would have liked to hear you speak about the influence of exercise and stress reduction on cholesterol.

  Also never mentioned by doctors, but I know anecdotally from six people (including me) that just reducing stress can, by itself, considerably lower cholesterol. Two of us took slightly early retirement from our toxic workplace, (my colleague was a super-skinny guy with high cholesterol and I had a normal BMI with sky-high cholesterol. and within a few weeks of our respective leaving dates, we both shocked our doctors with our massively improved blood results. My doc said to keep doing what I was doing, which basically was to stop doing what I was previously doing! I think any stress-reduction techniques really help. &nbsp;I now also eat a better diet, and apply a weird result from a study that discovered that eating 4 Brazil nuts per month reduces cholesterol! It really does!
