The Cholesterol Code is a feature documentary that explores cholesterol, low-carb diets, heart health, and the deeper questions surrounding metabolic health. I’m honored to be part of the film and to share my lived experience as part of the larger conversation it invites. This page is where you can watch the film, visit the official website, and learn more about my connection to the documentary and the Menlo Park screening panel.
The Cholesterol Code is a 105‑minute feature documentary that begins with one man’s health journey and opens into a global investigation of everything we think we know about cholesterol, low‑carb diets, and heart disease. When engineer and citizen scientist Dave Feldman reverses his pre‑diabetes on a low‑carb diet—only to be warned that his sky‑high LDL could spell disaster—he starts asking harder questions about decades of medical dogma, profit‑driven healthcare, and whether we’ve been fearing the wrong enemy.
My family and I are among the real stories in the film. Sharing our experience with metabolic strategies—especially around mental health—was both vulnerable and hopeful, and being part of this documentary is my way of helping others discover that they’re not alone in wondering if there might be better options. If you’re curious, skeptical, or simply ready to see the science and human stories side by side, this is an opportunity to lean in and explore a different narrative together.
Because I work with Metabolic Collective, it felt natural to connect this film with the work we’re doing to support individuals and families using metabolic therapies for psychiatric and neurological conditions. Our team focuses on peer‑led communities, amplifying lived experience, and expanding access to these approaches. If The Cholesterol Code resonates with you, supporting Metabolic Collective is one meaningful way to help more people find information, community, and hope.
After the Menlo Park screening of The Cholesterol Code, I joined a lived-experience panel discussion about ketogenic diets, mental health, high LDL, and the questions raised by the film. If you’d like to go deeper after watching the documentary, this conversation offers a more personal look at the issues behind the story.
Being part of The Cholesterol Code was deeply personal for me. My family’s story is woven into a larger conversation about cholesterol, metabolic health, and the questions people begin asking when conventional explanations no longer feel complete.
Sharing our experience—especially around mental health and metabolic strategies—was both vulnerable and meaningful. I wanted to be part of this film because I know how isolating it can feel when you sense there may be better options but don’t yet know where to turn for information, community, or hope.
What I appreciate most about this documentary is that it brings science and lived experience into the same frame. It makes space for people, not just data, and that is part of what made participating in it so important to me.
If you’re ready to watch The Cholesterol Code, the film is available on Amazon. You can also visit the official film website to learn more about the documentary and continue exploring the conversation around cholesterol, metabolic health, and lived experience.
