Ha. I just re-listened to his interview on Balanced Bites podcast, and listened to his interview on Everyday Paleo podcast.. He's a goofy guy, and definitely has a gift of communication. I definitely plan on buying his book as well, probably a very interesting read.Out of curiosity, is your doctor guessing/assuming you have FH, or did you actually get the genetic test done to verify? And if the latter, did they specify if you're homozygous or heterozygous? (Jimmy made it sound like if you just have chronically elevated cholesterol, doctors will just chalk you up to FH, whereas in reality, most people don't actually have FH, they just have a naturally higher cholesterol level)
I heard him on Fat Burning Man. Great info!I was told there was no specific test for FH but my apo B was high & apo E normal. I do have very high numbers though and it does appear to run in the family. I also have a thyroid issue that I'm dealing with so that may bring the numbers down.Take a listen to Balanced Bites Podcast Episode 101.. Jimmy says he was just too curious about FH so he had the actual test run. Said it cost $1200 and it told him that despite his really high cholesterol (I think 410 or something at the time when he ran it.. His "normal" is about 310 I think), he only had a very tiny chance of actually having true FH..And I've been meaning to give Abel's podcast a listen, but I keep forgetting about it. Thanks for the reminder! 🙂
