    BITESIZE: Do Eggs Actually Cause Heart Disease?
    Jun 17 2026
    Are eggs bad for you because they may raise cholesterol?It's one of the most common nutrition questions in cardiology, and one of the most misunderstood. The reality is that raising cholesterol and harming your health aren't always the same thing, and when it comes to eggs, the data tells a much more nuanced and reassuring story than most people have been led to believe.In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher walks through the science of eggs, cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk, cutting through decades of nutritional confusion to help you understand what it actually means for your individual dietary choices.You'll learn:Why the original "eggs cause heart disease" logic doesn't hold up under scientific scrutinyWhat happens to LDL and HDL when most people eat whole eggsWho the "egg hyper responders" are and what genetics has to do with itWhy hazard ratios in observational egg studies are often clinically unhelpfulWhat the American Heart Association now says about eggs and cardiovascular riskWhy eggs are one of the most nutrient dense whole foods availableHow to think about egg quality, quantity, and individual responseThe takeaway: eggs can be part of a healthy whole foods dietary pattern for most people. Context, metabolic health, and the totality of your diet often matter far more than any single food.💡 Learn more about markers for heart health (beyond LDL), on our blog: Beyond LDL: Exploring Calcium Scores and CTAs for Better Cardiac Insights🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?

    Dr. Ken Berry on the Medical Landscape of Chronic Disease
    Jun 15 2026
    Can ketogenic therapy challenge mainstream thinking on cholesterol, diabetes, and evidence-based medicine? At the CoSci conference, Dr. Ken Berry shares his reaction to The Cholesterol Code documentary and explains why more clinicians are questioning long-standing assumptions about metabolic health, LDL cholesterol, and the treatment of chronic disease.In this conversation, Dr. Berry discusses the growing tension between clinical guidelines, pharmaceutical influence, and real-world patient outcomes, while making the case for curiosity, individualized care, and the power of “citizen science” in medicine.In this episode, we cover:Dr. Ken Berry’s reaction to The Cholesterol Code documentaryWhy ketogenic therapy challenges conventional risk-benefit analysisThe role of anecdotal evidence and N=1 experimentationPharmaceutical influence on clinical guidelinesWhy many diabetes patients feel stuck despite following standard adviceThe launch of the American Diabetes SocietyType 2 diabetes remission and low-carbohydrate nutritionWhy doctors need to stay curious and continue learningOne of the biggest themes throughout this conversation is that medicine works best when clinicians and patients stay open-minded, ask better questions, and focus on addressing root causes as opposed to just managing symptoms or lab numbers.👉 Interested in watching The Cholesterol Code documentary?

  • BITESIZE: The New Protein Guidelines Reignited the Plant vs. Animal Debate

    BITESIZE: The New Protein Guidelines Reignited the Plant vs. Animal Debate
    Jun 12 2026

    Protein recommendations have changed and not everyone is happy about it. Here's what the new federal protein guidelines actually mean for your health, and why the pushback is missing the point.

    A recent PBS article argued that doubling the current protein guidelines would push people toward junk food and processed products. But as a cardiologist, Dr. Bret Scher explains why that concern, while understandable, is misplaced. The real issue isn't the target. It's the message around how to hit it.

    In this discussion, you'll learn:

    • Why the original 0.8g/kg recommendation was never designed for optimal metabolic health
    • What research shows about protein intake in the range of 1.2 to 1.6g/kg
    • How higher protein supports satiety, body composition, and glucose control
    • Why certain groups like teenagers, athletes, and older adults need even more
    • How plant vs. animal protein sources differ in bioavailability and practicality
    • Why whole food sources like eggs, fish, meat, and legumes are the answer, not protein bars and packaged products

    Getting more protein doesn't mean reaching for a bar or a wrapper. It means eating real food that your body knows how to use. The old 0.8g recommendation was designed to prevent decline, not to support metabolic thriving.
