Cholesterol Concerns
A listener shares his cholesterol journey after six months on a low carb diet, raising questions about the implications of his rising total cholesterol despite improved triglycerides and HDL levels. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding cholesterol ratios and reassures that feeling good and being lean can still coincide with elevated LDL levels. Insights from a health coach emphasize the value of personalized health coaching in navigating these concerns.In this clip

I have a question about this episode 171. July 2022 Bloodwork Review! and this clip High LDL Discussion. For example, I know that when I'm on a low-carb diet, both my LDL and HDL go up slightly (and my triglycerides go down—this is known as the lipid triad), but my total cholesterol to HDL ratio stays below 3 and may even decrease a bit more. Is this okay in your opinion, or should I focus on lowering my LDL and add more carbs to my diet?
