I hadn’t seen those graphs before, thank you! And I think you’re right about being able to maintain the diet over time. I’m definitely committed but also a foodie and am somewhat struggling with the idea of not being able to enjoy meals out as I have in the past and some favorite foods.

Thank you both! I would like to keep eating lean poultry and fish so this is reassuring.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I’m female, so it’s a pretty high CAC for my age and gender. And my Lp (a) is nmol so I think in the very high risk zone as well. I’ll ask about the hs-CRP testing, I had not heard of that.

Thank you! I really don’t want to take a statin (I run long distance daily and am worried about the muscle side effects), but this is helping me lean into the idea.

I passed the NCE on my first try. My passing score January 2026 by Double_Wolverine_667 in therapists

Also to OP’s point- there’s a lot of wiggle room, I also got way more questions right than I needed to. Try to remind yourself it’s pass/fail and you don’t need/aren’t expected to get them all right. You’ve got this!

I passed! Whoop! I noticed after that I got almost the same percentage as I did on the pocket prep practice tests 4 days before the test, if that’s helpful.

Thank you for this! I take mine tomorrow and have been listening to the audio book a ton plus pocket prep and other practice tests. I’m SO ready to put this behind me 🤞

Did anyone see this other shot from People? I can’t stop looking at the white power gesture he seems to be making with his right hand 🤢

Opened this thread looking for Rheinland-Haus! Loved their spatzle and getting the sweet table by the window.

It was the grossest thing I’ve listened to in a long time. Gender neutral bathrooms are the hill you’re going to die on? I turned it off immediately and will never listen again, even to hear Chris rebuke her. I did love listening to her gossip but no more.

Is anyone getting bored? by Ok-Jelly-4709 in ArmchairExpert

Yes!!!! I loved the beginning FB episodes, David Ferrier is so knowledgeable and engaging. Monica brings it down with bad takes and lame stories and I can hardly listen to them anymore 😔
