Cracking the Code
- Dave is the creator of The Cholesterol Code documentary, which was recently released in April 2026. (3:00)
- Dave is an engineer and citizen scientist who has studied cholesterol for years. (5:30)
- It is a great documentary that addresses high cholesterol in an easy-to-follow manner.
- It also addresses the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it may affect people differently.
- Nick Norwitz is well known for his N=1 experiment in lowering his cholesterol through a dietary regimen. (17:00)
- Dave explains Nick’s experiment and the significance of the results.
- The experiment is not advocating eating junk food. It was a comparison and a data collection method.
- They discuss Dave’s passion for doing a deep dive into cholesterol to create the documentary. (31:00)
- It took a while for Dave to convince others that it was a study worth doing.
- Lundquist and Dr. Matthew Budoff spearheaded the study.
- The study had 100% completion rate with 100 participants.
- Dr. Richard Bernstein was a T1 diabetic who decided to monitor his own blood sugar regularly and developed a system to do so. (58:00)
- But he was dismissed because no doctors believed people would bother to measure their own blood several times a day.
- But now both the study data and the documentary The Cholesterol Code are available, and people can become better educated.
You can rent or purchase The Cholesterol Code here: https://amzn.to/4w7udAF - Dave can be found on X as @realDaveFeldman, and at his website https://cholesterolcode.com/
