Examine
Welcome to the Examine page, this is where I keep all the studies I have individually read, critiqued, taken notes on, and for each I have created a video. This library is rich with topics from skin care, fasting, nutrition, and many other subjects. Enjoy.

The LDL relationship to Heart Disease
This investigation dives into 10 studies trying to establish if there is a relationship between LDL and increased heart disease risk - additionally, investigating if types of LDL (small vs large) make a difference, and the triglyceride effect, among other aspects of this relationship.
