DR. NADIR ALI

  • Dr. Ali is originally from India though he practices in the US
  • It’s tough because many Indians are vegans and cows are considered sacred
    • One must respect this
    • The lowest consumption of meat
    • Much higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes there
    • It must be a cultural and political change
      • Indians can eat successfully though it requires a fundamental change in thinking
  • A keto cardiologist!
  • Many people lack knowledge of human digestion
    • Being vegan is often unrealistic nor decided from a critical perspective
    • People don’t know what is and what is not ACTUALLY healthy digestion wise
  • We need to improve the dialogue around nutrition
  • Dr. Ali’s wheelhouse is cholesterol
    • He looks at ALL numbers
    • Cardiologists on a whole are completely uneducated on cholesterol
    • Cholesterol has KEY functions in your body
    • Paradox between LDL cholesterol and insulin resistance
    • LDL can go up, and that can be okay!
    • We need to educate public, and the public will demand the change
  • Put patients on low carb diets, diabetic patients got off of meds but their LDL went up
    • He had to figure out that LDL is okay and necessary!
    • Most cardiologists are unwilling to change their thinking or consider alternatives
  • Med school teaching often fails
  • Appreciates Dave Feldman’s work

  2. Great podcast!!! Smart, informative, groundbreaking and urgently important. I have improved the lives of 4 family members – plus my husband and I. I’ve also tried to promote this info via conversations with friends, FB and Twitter. But had little success. I know doing this is annoying but I believe it is extremely helpful so I guess I’ll be a wee bit annoying. Oh, back to you VT! I wanted to say the posting of this podcast – with the heart and the colouring – looks great. So whoever did that…Sereena? I doubt you….good job, eh?
