Nick Norwitz Has Total Cholesterol of 700 — So Why Zero Plaque? – TFP #030 | Nick Norwitz MD PhD

In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can living with an LDL of 700 mg/dL for seven years leave your arteries completely plaque-free? Nick Norwitz (MD PhD) makes the case for nuanced, patient-centered medicine while covering the Cholesterol Code documentary launch, a blinded self-experiment on statin performance, surprising Alzheimer's-related data on ezetimibe, the democratization of medical information, and a pointed response to recent critiques of the lean mass hypersponder phenotype.
