When engineer Dave Feldman reverses his pre-diabetes with a ketogenic lifestyle, he feels invincible-until his LDL cholesterol skyrockets, placing him at odds with decades of medical orthodoxy. Torn between feeling the healthiest he's ever been and warnings of catastrophic heart failure, Dave refuses to accept easy answers. What begins as a personal experiment spirals into a global investigation, as he confronts the entrenched narratives of Big Pharma, corporate-driven healthcare, and the mainstream science that shapes our beliefs. THE CHOLESTEROL CODE is more than a documentary--it's a high-stakes, David-versus-Goliath battle for truth. What if our fear of cholesterol has been driven by profit over science? What if ketogenic diets--dismissed and demonized--hold the key to reversing the global epidemic of chronic disease? With gripping personal stakes and groundbreaking revelations, the film peels back the layers of conventional wisdom and challenges the medical establishment to answer a dangerous question: have we been fighting the wrong enemy all along? Part investigative thriller, part transformative journey, this is the story of a man taking on the system in search of answers that could save millions of lives. Bold, provocative, and urgently relevant, THE CHOLESTEROL CODE delivers a seismic wake-up call to anyone who's ever questioned what they're being told--and the hidden agendas shaping what we believe.
