. #LEM/#LMHR/#LMHRstudy It has inspired me to go ahead with my most ambitious experiment yet... Demonstrating realtime LDL changes against a random number generator -- in this case, I'll be using the JRE podcast itself as the source of the randomness. (The #CholesterolJoe Experiment) For details on the experiment, watch this video
However, I’ve long wanted to provide a demonstration of rapid cholesterol changes in realtime.
From my various prior n = 1 experiments over the years, and those of others, I’ve gained insight into how to manipulate my lipids. Now, I want to use what I’ve learned, to perform a first-of-its kind realtime demonstration in which I manipulate my lipids levels – massively – through dietary changes to target numbers through various techniques informed by the LEM.
Starting from the beginning of the podcast, once Joe or his guest(s) say a number that is between 75 and 300 and at least 60 mg/dl from my current LDL-C, that will lock in the new “Target LDL-C“.
(*In the unlikely event an episode happens to not have any mention of a number that qualifies, I will hold to the next episode)
I plan on completing a total of four cycles, back-to-back, to demonstrate these changes.
I’ll be reacting to the new Target LDL-C, sharing my strategies for achieving it, and giving daily metrics (as determined by at home CardioChek+) to share as the experiment progresses.
You can follow along on X/Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Methodology
The rules are simple: I will endeavor to manipulate my LDL-C between 75 and 300 mg/dl using a special pseudo-random number generator…1. Random Number Assignment Phase
For my “random number generator,” I’ll be using the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, beginning with today’s episode (which isn’t released, as of this writing).Starting from the beginning of the podcast, once Joe or his guest(s) say a number that is between 75 and 300 and at least 60 mg/dl from my current LDL-C, that will lock in the new “Target LDL-C“.
(*In the unlikely event an episode happens to not have any mention of a number that qualifies, I will hold to the next episode)
2. Target LDL-C Challenge
Once a Target LDL-C has been established, I have 10 days to change the LDL-C levels in my blood to within 30 mg/dL of the target, as confirmed by external LabCorp lipid testing.I plan on completing a total of four cycles, back-to-back, to demonstrate these changes.
Social Media Commentary and Hypothesis
Throughout the experiment, I’ll be giving running commentary across social media in realtime.I’ll be reacting to the new Target LDL-C, sharing my strategies for achieving it, and giving daily metrics (as determined by at home CardioChek+) to share as the experiment progresses.
