Unfortunately my multi month experiment with red rice yeast extract has yielded no discernible improvement to my cholesterol levels.
Now I'm starting a multi month experiment with nattokinase to see if it has any measurable effect.
Discussion
What are you trying to change with your collector levels and why?
I'm not overly concerned because I've done a ton of testing but I'd prefer my levels only be moderately high rather than insanely high.
I recommend asking nostr:nprofile1qqstzt0wugc7sklvr8e7fcl7ukyn63ym3ns4nmf2mnk0vqnz4l9x65qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxegamescj what he recommends.
oats lowers it...porridge
Porridge is our top choice for a heart-healthy breakfast, made with low-fat milk or water.
All porridge oats are wholegrains and they contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan, which can help lower your cholesterol level if you have 3g or more daily, as part of a healthy diet. (A 40g serving of porridge oats contains 1.6g of beta-glucan.)
As well as beta-glucan, you’ll be getting the fibre from the whole grains, plus there is no added sugar or salt.
Instead of adding sugar or salt to your porridge for flavour – instead, try adding a banana or other fruits for extra sweetness. For every 80g that you add it will be one of your five-a-day at the same time.
A serving of porridge made with 40g of oats and semi-skimmed milk contains:
Energy 1144kJ / 272kcal, 14% of your Reference Intake (RI)
Fat 7.7g, 11% of your RI
Saturates 3.5g, 18% of your RI
Sugars 13g, 14% of your RI
Salt 0.3g, 5% of your RI
A 40g serving of oats (not made up) contains:
Energy 626kJ / 150kcal, 7% of your RI
Fat 3.2g, 5% of your RI
Saturates 0.6g, 3% of your RI
Sugars 0.4g, 0% of your RI
Salt 0.0g, 0% of your RI
ChÃa, avocados and flaxseeds help as a dietary complements.
Keep us updated - I eat a keto diet, carnivore adjacent, and I am one of the highly reactive people whose cholesterol absolutley skyrocketed. I feel amazing, put on muscle and lost weight, but would be more comfortable if my numbers were lower.
Are you combining that with Pine bark extract and/or micro-dose Aspirin?
Interested to see your results if so…
Can't say I've gone that far down the rabbit hole.
I think you would need a multi year experiment to see any significant changes with natto but it’s great for blood clots!
Load up on any and all statins asap 🤣 see the man in the white coat and stethoscope around his neck who looks very professional, he will gladly hook you up
Controlled longer term water only fast…
See if you can get an opinion form this guy nostr:nprofile1qqstzt0wugc7sklvr8e7fcl7ukyn63ym3ns4nmf2mnk0vqnz4l9x65qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwwak8vuewwdcxzcm99uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshs80ydtj
Low cholesterol is not a strong of better health https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x3BzgZqFuZc
There are certain types of cholesterol that your diet and lifestyle have negligible effect on. For example Lipoprotein A is similar to LDL & your levels are determined almost entirely by genetics. I know this from a recent blood test I had.
I know you read Peter Attia's series on lipidology, but are you familiar with Dave Feldman's lean mass hyper-responder hypothesis? https://cholesterolcode.com/lmhr/
News to me, thanks!
Why are you worried about your cholesterol levels?
Reasons I'm NOT worried:
* No family history of CVD.
* My CAC score is 0
Reasons I AM worried:
* My small particle count is high
* Studies like this: https://x.com/MohammedAlo/status/1964408406808166406
natto is disgusting
Cholesterol is important. Who convinced you that you need to reduce it?
