DR. BRET SCHER

  • Dr. Scher is an awesome cardiologist
  • Check out his first appearance on the podcast here
  • He also has a big role in the Fat Doc
  • Tries to help people over Twitter, over e-mail, and taking over their care in person
  • He advises a low-carb, high-fat diet for best heart health
  • Great book available!
  • Recommends particular calcium score test to see what is really going on with your cholesterol
    • Tells you more than just LDL
    • There are general guidelines, but it’s also age-related and other risk factor-related
    • Can help show you whether or not a statin would actually help
      • This is for people who are eating high carb, though
      • Unsure how it would affect people eating a healthy, low carb diet
  • You can reverse risk factors by primarily cutting out sugar and grains
    • Still important to look at mental health, sleep, exercise, stress, skin, etc.
  • Not quite as simple as just going low-carb, though it’s an amazing step and a great place to start
  • Being exhausted is bad for your health
    • Messes with your hormones, your cravings (ghrelin and leptin levels)
  • Not grazing is important
  • Mediterranean diet – who knows what that means?
    • Most important part is eating real food
    • But the studies around it tend to be BS
