117 | What’s the Best Diet to Lower Cholesterol?

Your patient says, “My neighbor’s on the carnivore diet and looks amazing. Should I try it?” Cue the internal panic. What do you actually say next?

In this episode, Clinical Lipid Specialist Dr. Josh Wageman returns to unpack the dietary chaos surrounding lipids, low-carb diets, saturated fat, and the ever-elusive “best diet.” Whether your patient wants to reverse metabolic syndrome or just “get their cholesterol down,” this conversation will help you separate hype from evidence—and teach you how to respond when patients come in quoting their favorite influencer.

You’ll also hear Josh’s take on popular supplements like fish oil, red yeast rice, and CoQ10—and why creatine may deserve more attention in statin intolerance.
