- He has gained abundant knowledge through the studies and scientists he has worked with. (8:00)
- Being a citizen scientist has advantages and disadvantages; while it allows for innovative insights, it can also lead to skepticism from trained professionals regarding credibility and expertise.
- He has also started the Citizen Science Foundation.
- Dave started learning more about cholesterol after having questionable test results. (14:00)
He describes signs of a bad metabolism and that issues like insulin resistance are drivers of cardiovascular disease. (19:00)
Metabolic health is a more critical cardiovascular risk indicator than LDL cholesterol levels, challenging traditional medical assumptions.
Lean Mass Hyper Responders, a term coined by Feldman, describes individuals on low-carb, high-fat diets who exhibit high LDL cholesterol levels but maintain good metabolic health, sparking significant interest and further research. (22:00)

Dave recaps his journey and discusses the making of the documentary, “Cholesterol Code.” (44:00)
- The film features personal narratives from individuals using ketogenic diets for various health issues, highlighting their experiences with cholesterol and metabolic health.
- “Cholesterol Code” incorporates scientific studies, emphasizing accurate representation of research findings and avoiding misleading claims, presenting a balanced view of ketogenic diets.
