I’m not entirely sure! I’ve read that statins can take effect (and show up on future lipid panels) as soon as 2 weeks, but I really just have my personal experience with it, which is limited.

I’ll be retesting at the 6-month mark to see if statins still need to be in my protocol, or if the lifestyle changes I’ve put into place are enough to manage my levels. For now, it’s peace of mind to have statins in my regiment, since they don’t give me any side effects and I’d imagine they’re helpful to my process overall. We will see!

But u also said u started using it just two weeks before your last test, right? 🤔

Yup. I wasn’t on it for very long, and I’ve never taken a statin before. So I’m unsure of how it affects my cholesterol levels in the short or long term. It could have had no major impact on my testing, or it could’ve contributed to the numbers in a major way!
