LDL Cholesterol

I have labs results! I’m happy to say that my lipid levels are great :slight_smile: My LDL is where my doctors want it. I just saw the cardiologist after the lab reports were in and I mentioned I had begun learning and experimenting with a keto diet in early April and it’s working … that, and reluctantly I did increase my Lipitor to 20mg! A far cry from the 80 mg and pcks9s they wanted me to take. The cardiologist wants to run further tests, just to be sure all is okay or to at a minimum, have a baseline, as to any cardiac artery disease. That is forthcoming in the next few months. Once I have about six months of keto under my belt, I’m planning on reducing the Lipitor back to 10 mg and after six months to nothing. Time will tell if my body will be able to do it or not.

I want to say thank you to everyone for your kind words of support and encouragement!
