Siobhan Launches Her Patreon
Yes, our own Siobhan has finally launched a Patreon after months and months of our prodding her to do so. This is super important as she (like me) puts out a lot of cheddar for lab tests. If you appreciate the excellent data she’s brought us (particularly lately), please note it costs a very large amount with each experiment.
Dropping the Bomb in Houston Texas
Yes, I revealed seven days of my half of the Tandem Drop Experiment to a live audience. I’ll have a write up on it soon.
For now, you can watch the presentation yourself here:
When You Have One Twin Who is Keto, One Twin Who is Not
Just watch…
Siobhan on CarnivoreCast
Siobhan had a recent appearance on CarnivoreCast, a podcast centering around the science, and people, behind carnivorous diets. For those of you who don’t know, Siobhan has been eating carnivorously for over a year now, so if you’d like to hear more about her experiences (as well as other topics covered – including lipid metabolism, of course) you can listen to it here.
Final Stretch
I’ve nearly completed my long winding journey. I have just one jaunt this weekend to San Francisco for Low Carb USA and then on to Seattle to record a podcast before coming back home again to the Mrs. Then I’m staying put until Thanksgiving!
Impressive LDL drop. Do you also present results for LDL-p, since apparently LDL-C is now passe and LDL-p is the “critical” marker?
I don’t believe it was in the presentation, but he did get it tested and it dropped as well – although he doesn’t have day to day data since the cardiochek can’t do that. I’ll ping him and see if I can get the numbers – although it should be in the write-up he’ll be doing for his side of the experiment as well.
Hi Dave. In the video on the identical twins you mentioned seeing increased Lp-PLA2 activity in those on LCHF diets. Can you please elaborate? Thanks.
I often see Lp-PLA2 in the 200s for most LCHFers I know who get that test. I wasn’t speculating on the reason why per se.
Thanks for the reply. Interesting. I suspect you believe that, in the context of a LCHF diet and good TGs and HDL, it isn’t an indicator of higher risk of CVD?
Don’t know yet. Currently, I’m wanting to disentangle activity of quantity from activity of concern. That alone isn’t very easily accomplished.
