Hi Dr. Brewer recently lost 230 pounds let me repeat that that's amazing
recently lost 230 pounds how recent I mean that's not something
you do in a month going low-carb my triglycerides went
from 133 to 74 however my HDL only went from 33 to 37
not good taking 500 of niacin a few times a week
any suggestions how to get my HDL up
well you already took my first recommendation that was to read up a
little bit on niacin well here's the thing 500 of niacin
a few times a week may not get you there you may want to try a little bit higher
doses as in up to two grams a day that's certainly one thing some of the
other questions I would have would have to do with lifestyle
use of interval resistance training high intensity intervals
sleep again deep subject John B should Enduracin improve triglyceride over
HDL yes it should Enduracin is a wax matrix safe form
of no flush or low flush niacin a lot of my patients have used it now niacin is
the only thing we know prescription or otherwise which tends to improve LDL
HDL triglycerides all of those things it's a major actor
now then you get into a lot of studies about well
they didn't find an improvement in cardiovascular experience
well not so fast if you use laropiprant that's a chemical
that was added to niacin to decrease the flush that you get with niacin
that chemical impacted the effect of niacin
you look at others and that's again not going to go down that bunny trail but
yes we talked about it a couple times
earlier niacin two grams per day sounds like a lot it is
Dave Murphy I really like the Enduracin brand of niacin that you recommend
I do too again it's wax matrix so you get a little dose here a little less
here a little less there and you're not getting things like laropiprant
other chemicals in there we've tried Rugby
Rugby is also really good but more patients
do better with Enduracin
why wait for a disease and hope for a cure I used to be an ER
doc my name is Ford Brewer I quit ER after a few years because it
was just so frustrating most of the things
bringing people into the ER are things that should have been
prevented including heart attack stroke number one cause of
death number one cause of permanent disability
people think that you're just gonna have those and that they're not predictable
both of those are wrong they are predictable
and you don't have to have them usually it's lifestyle lifestyle is more
important than supplements and even prescription drugs
and even stents surgery but the current times
are tough major financial impact with the
lockdowns that most states have been going through
we've been working on a way to make this much more affordable with a subscription
process and that's exactly what we're announcing
today we've got two levels one is the Silver membership where you
get access to our courses a private webinar each month and access
to our supplement store and supplement recommendations and prescription or
I would suggest even more so the Gold membership
you can get a script for a Freestyle Libre and find out what your blood
sugar metabolism is doing on a daily basis and you can get a lab
order for inflammation OGTT and insulin survey you can also get
a 30-minute one-on-one with me so I'm looking forward to seeing you
