The speaker admits they were initially cautious about discussing LDL and total cholesterol when they started their social media journey in 2017-2018. However, after extensive research and consultation with global experts, their perspective has significantly shifted. They now state that they "officially at this point do not care if your LDL cholesterol is high." Furthermore, they are increasingly convinced that a high LDL cholesterol level can be beneficial, provided that other metabolic markers such as A1C, fasting insulin, blood sugar, triglycerides, HDL, and hs-CRP are within normal ranges. The speaker emphasizes that if these other markers are normal, a high LDL number, which doctors often view with alarm, is actually a desirable state.

I'm about to admit to you that I was wrong when I first started this YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok journey back in 2017, 2018. I was very cautious talking about LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol.

Now, I even back then said it's not as big a deal as they make it out to be, but the more I read the research, the more I talk to experts from all around the world, I officially at this point do not care if your LDL cholesterol is high. And I'm increasingly coming to the realization that it's good if your LDL cholesterol is high.

Your LDL-C, you know that number your doctor shits their pants about, I'm happy that your LDL is high because that's exactly where it needs to be in the face of normal metabolic markers like A1C, fasting insulin, blood sugar, triglycerides, HDL, and hs-CRP. If those are all normal, I'm glad your LDL is high.

Yep… I was wrong.
