When engineer Dave Feldman reverses his pre-diabetes with a low-carb diet, he feels invincible—until a routine blood test reveals sky-high LDL cholesterol, putting him at odds with decades of medical advice. Torn between feeling the healthiest he’s ever been and warnings of catastrophic heart disease, Dave refuses to accept easy answers. What begins as a personal experiment quickly expands into a global investigation, challenging 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 low-carb and keto diets—dismissed and demonized—hold the key to reversing the global epidemic of chronic disease? Driven by curiosity and grounded in science, the film follows Dave and a team of researchers through a landmark research study using high-resolution heart imaging. The results raise a daring question: have we been fighting the wrong enemy all along?
