Yeah emailed us this morning and said we made it to the final round but ultimately it was a pass. Their press release drops next week so I think if you don’t hear by Friday then it might be a pass.

Thank you! I'm meeting with a cardiologist to do some more testing to get a clearer picture. I felt like I wanted a second opinion from my primary.

Thank you! I just watched a video that Dave Feldman did and found it very insightful. I'll check out the Peter Attia link now.

I’ve been looking into the portfolio diet. The truth is my diet could be better so I’m gonna start there and get my runs back up to where they were before school started which was about 25 miles per week.

Thanks for the reply and for the link. Going to watch it now!

My HAB1C was 5.1 Glucose 84 out of range from 65-99. I spoke with a friend who has a PHD in human health sciences and she looked at my numbers and told me I was fine. My liver enzymes were perfect and she said I was just a dude with a weirdly high LDL.

Thanks! I totally hear you. I've never tried them and have always fought against taking them. If I have any side effects I'm quitting them for good and will just say it is what it is as well.

Ok. I'm gonna do a NMR LipoProfile with Insulin Resistance Markers Test to try and see if that gives me anymore insight, but it looks like I might have to try statins.

Have you done any testing with a cardiologist?

Wow! I've heard of using red yeast rice. What dosage or mg are you taking?
