The Truth About Lean Mass Hyper Responders and Keto

In this episode of the Functional Medicine Foundations Podcast, host Amber Warren, PA-C sits down with Dr. Mark Holthouse, MD, IFMCP to uncover the truth about lean mass hyper responders and the surprising results of the new KETO-CTA trial. We break down: • What a lean mass hyper responder really is • Why LDL cholesterol and ApoB levels matter for heart health • How keto and carnivore diets can impact long-term cardiometabolic health • The role of gut health, fiber, and the microbiome in lowering cholesterol • The importance of getting your labs done and protect your heart naturally If you follow a low-carb, keto, or carnivore lifestyle, or if you’re a clinician helping patients navigate cholesterol and heart disease risk, this conversation will give you clarity on the science and actionable takeaways for better health.
