What if everything we thought we knew about cholesterol, fat and metabolic health needs a rethink? In this episode I speak to Dr Nick Norwitz, a Harvard med student and PhD researcher in metabolism, whose own health journey led him to question some big assumptions in nutrition. 👉 Nick’s 1-year study is now published here: https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.101686 👉 And the full breakdown is here: https://youtu.be/a_ROZPW9WrY As someone interested in nutrition research, I’m always keen to explore different points of view, especially when they’re grounded in rigorous science and speak to the evidence. This isn’t about giving advice or promoting a diet. It’s about taking a closer look at the science and being open to the idea that what works for one person might not work for another. We discuss: • Nick’s personal journey with IBD and the ketogenic diet • Does saturated fat actually cause heart disease? • Cholesterol confusion and whether we should all aim for a lower LDL-C or ApoB by any means necessary? • Keto as a metabolic state vs. a diet – what it means for fat loss • The problems with nutrition research Plus, we explore how to measure metabolic health, keto-adaptation and whether a high-fat, high-animal-protein diet can be optimal for longevity.
