  • So, with his computer science background, he tries to reverse-engineer cholesterol .
  • Dave is athletic, but had "bad" LDL numbers.
    • Realized many athletes have worse LDL numbers... wanted to figure out why.
  • Thus he decided to look into what cholesterol is and how the lipid system works.
    • More than anything else, lipid system is an energy distribution system
    • Low-density Lipoproteins (LDL) meant to distribute fat based energy
      • Cholesterol rideshares with this fat
  • Figures out ways to artificially lower cholesterol
  • Please check this video explaining some basic stuff about cholesterol .
    • There are four parts to check out
  • Dave learns more each day.
  • Check out Dave's website which is linked in the description above, and here.
  • Once you start learning a little about cholesterol, you feel the need to learn a lot.
  • Every cell in your body has relation to cholesterol.
  • If you don't take cholesterol in, your body will make it.
