Joe Rogan’s guest Gary Brecka dismantled one of the most profitable narratives in modern medicine — the “good vs bad cholesterol” myth.

For decades, pharma-backed health campaigns have pushed the idea that LDL is the bad cholesterol and HDL the good, persuading millions to take statins to lower LDL at all costs. But according to Brecka and cardiologists like Dr. Aseem Malhotra, this simplistic model ignores the real biology.

What actually matters, Brecka explains, is particle size.

When triglycerides rise — often due to high-sugar, high-glycaemic diets and insulin resistance — LDL particles shrink. Smaller particles (the “BBs”) can penetrate arterial walls, become oxidized, and trigger inflammation. Large, buoyant LDL particles (the “basketballs”) do not.

Two people can have the same total cholesterol, but vastly different cardiovascular outcomes — depending on triglyceride levels, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation markers like C-reactive protein.

Brecka emphasizes that cholesterol isn’t the villain; it’s the firefighter showing up to the fire — a response to inflammation, not the cause of it.

Cardiovascular health, he argues, should focus on the metabolic picture:
– Fasting insulin
– Blood glucose and A1C
– Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio
– C-reactive protein

Not simply on driving LDL numbers down with lifelong statin use.

Brecka even noted that in his work processing death claims for centenarians, he never came across one who didn’t have elevated LDL levels — raising serious questions about whether low cholesterol truly equals longevity.

This challenges decades of medical orthodoxy and billions in drug sales. But the evidence is catching up: metabolic dysfunction, not LDL itself, is the real culprit behind atherosclerosis.

🔥🔥🔥Crowd gave a standing ovation for Dr. Aseem Malhotra @DrAseemMalhotra for his speech at yesterday’s Reform UK conference.

If you have 18 minutes today, this is a must watch!

- Called for a moratorium on COVID mRNA vaccines citing a reanalysis of Pfizer/Moderna trials showing a 2-4 times higher risk of serious harm than hospitalization prevention.

- The World Health Organization that is being captured. That is being captured by Bill Gates, who is largest funder now Bill Gates, who made half a billion dollars in investments in the COVID vaccines.

- Audiences gasped when Dr. Malhotra claimed that COVID vaccines were a significant factor in cancer cases among members of the royal family.

- Calls out Pfizer of pushing COVID-19 vaccine mandates for profit, despite knowing by summer 2021 that the vaccines did not stop infection or transmission, while funding organizations to support these mandates and earning $100 billion.

Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you—if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.

Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit."

Normal is relative. And you can change it.

When I was running 4 miles a day, 8 sounded impossible.

When I was running 8 a day, 16 seemed insane.

When I was running 16 a day, 4 was a break.

So much of what you think is "crazy" is dependent on what you make normal...
