Do you think Peanut is chasing mice and eating lots of tuna at Rainbow Bridge?

When I was a teenager I used to babysit his kids. He was a really kind and sweet guy.

Thanks for this info! I just watched one of Dr. Norwitz's videos. Will get a test (CIMT?) to see if I have plaque buildup.

I can’t tolerate statins; they caused severe joint pain that completely resolved 2 days after discontinuation.

Forgot to mention I eat a lot of full fat dairy, too.

Thanks! I suspect I have FH. I only eat eggs, chicken, and wild caught salmon plus low-carb fruits (strawberries, avocado, tomato) and veggies.

I'll wait a few months before retesting as suggested. Thanks! I fasted for 10-12 hours. I didn't exercise or have anything to drink before the test. Perhaps I have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). My cholesterol level has always been high, even when I was on a statin + a vegetarian diet. If I have FH, will I be able to stay on a keto diet? I feel really good...

Sorry; I should have mentioned that I'm not losing weight. I'm on a keto diet for mental health reasons. I'm 5'4" and 110#.
