The importance of understanding the reasons behind high LDL is emphasized, with a cautionary note to consult with healthcare professionals regarding individual health profiles.In this clip

I have a question about this episode 171. July 2022 Bloodwork Review! and the 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). However, 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?
