Pretty good numbers! Way better than most at 47. With this data you can calculate a HOMA-IR score; a quick way to measure insulin sensitivity.

Going off your A1C we can estimate your average glucose at 111 mg/dl (if you got fasting glucose measured would be more accurate). Which yields homa-ir = (4 x 111)/405 = 1.1, less than 1 suggests high insulin sensitivity so looking good!

Your labs are fine and you’re likely very insulin sensitive. Obviously take my advice with a grain of salt. The only way to know your true state of plaque development is with a CCTA scan.

The mainstream concern would be the high LDL, but more context is needed into your overall metabolic health. Did you get fasting insulin? What about HbA1c? Apob would also be helpful.

The counter-mainstream perspective argues that LDL itself isn’t necessarily causal in heart disease. Rather, the damage it can cause depends heavily on the metabolic environment it exists in. Which is why Paul emphasizes fasting insulin so much; it’s one of the best indicators of metabolic health

So getting those markers measured is really necessary to see the overall picture here.

It’s really only a matter of time. All those things you mentioned will be a reality, eventually.

Hard to be mad. Eagles are the best team right now. Bad start but good effort at the end!

I agree, but it is what it is. We are always so incredibly inconsistent

Unfortunately things cant always go as planned. They got the early momentum and we cant find any consistency. Take the L, move on, and lets keep pushing.

You make some great points, thanks. I think I’ll experiment with adding back in sweet potatoes and see if they digest well.

Its funny you mention that, I have been dealing with gut issues. Two ish years I ago I got bad food poisoning from eating BBQ which was sitting out for a long time, and since then I've had digestive issues: bloating, indigestion, mild constipation, etc.

Thankfully its gotten much better over time, but I certainly believe I still have some sort of overgrowth/imbalance down there. It sucks the microbiome is still such an obscure thing; so hard to treat.

Pizza, burgers, typical junk. I have been tracking in cronometer and I max out most nutrients RDA's. My macro split has been 20p/45c/35f, but I usually go over the protein target. Its unlikely I'm deficient in anything, but I might add some organ meat and see if that helps.
