94. Dr Ankur Verma: Emergency Physician on Key Metabolic Risk Factors for Heart Disease (Not Cholesterol)
Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MDShow Notes
Dr Ankur Vermur sees heart attack patients daily in his emergency room in New Delhi, India, almost all of them with normal cholesterol levels. We discuss the key, underappreciated metabolic risk factors for aetherosclerosis (ASCVD) and how you can avoid them with lifestyle changes. SUPPORT MY WORK 🥩 WOLKI FARM.

Your waist shrinks. Your insulin falls. You feel better. But your LDL cholesterol goes up. Dave Feldman joins me to unpack one of the most debated questions in low-carbohydrate nutrition: what does a substantial rise in LDL mean when other markers of metabolic health improve? Dave is an engineer, citizen scientist and lipid researcher who originated the term “lean mass hyperresponder”. He explains his lipid energy model and why some people eating very low-carbohydrate diets develop hi...
I speak with Andreas Christou on how sunlight, circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep timing, and the environment influence metabolic health, weight management, energy, and longevity. We explore how modern indoor living, artificial light, screen exposure, and disrupted sleep can interfere with biological rhythms—and why aligning daily light exposure and sleep with natural environmental signals may support metabolic health and energy. Dr. Max Gulhane also explains mitochondrial function, POMC...
I join Cameron Borg on the Ricci Flow Nutrition podcast to cover an evolutionary lens on health to emphasising the critical importance of natural light, circadian principles and ancestrally-consistent dietary patterns.

What happens to biology when Earth’s magnetic field becomes weaker—or disappears entirely? Dr Max Gulhane is joined by Professor Geoffrey Guy and Alistair Nunn of the Guy Foundation for a deep exploration of magnetobiology, geomagnetism, quantum biology and mitochondrial health. We discuss how magnetic fields influence mitochondrial membrane potential, electron transport, reactive oxygen species and cellular adaptation. We also discuss the radical-pair mechanism, electron spin, animal...
In this episode, I join Eleana V to talk about body fat and in particular visceral fat i.e. the fat that surrounds our internal organs and can be hidden even in people who appear to be a “normal” weight. We discuss why visceral fat is different, what health conditions it’s associated with, why we don’t routinely measure it and the role of MRI and DEXA in assessing body composition. We also explore what actually helps reduce visceral fat and we finish with a quick-fire HOT TAKE round coverin...
