Berberine + Bergamot

Hey team,

Today's Wednesday video is live. The breakdown on Berberine and Bergamot, the two plant compounds I use to control ApoB in patients who do not want a statin.

Quick version. Berberine works through the same mechanism as a PCSK9 drug. It tells your liver to build more receptors that pull ApoB-containing particles out of your bloodstream. Bergamot works through a statin-adjacent mechanism, lightly modulating the same enzyme statins block, but with significantly fewer side effects.

Combined, the published data shows ApoB reductions of 20 to 30 percent. The 2015 Toth imaging study in Cardiovascular Therapeutics showed measurable reduction in carotid intima-media thickness, which is the earliest arterial wall marker. Real ultrasound. Real patients.
