I had a follow up with my doctor for labs today. Everything looked great, according to her, except....my LDL cholesterol. She asked about my diet and I was honest and told her that I ate meat, eggs, butter, salt and water and nothing else. She advised me to reduce my consumption of red meat and try to eat more fish. I told her there was no way I was going to reduce my consumption of the most nutritious food in the entire world. I also told her I do not believe elevated LDL in isolation is an indication of an increased risk for heart disease. In hindsight, I should have looked up some of the studies I know exist and I've heard other people talk about to have ready, but I didn't do that before the appointment. #grownostr #carnivore

Would likely be able to point you in the correct direction.
I need to bust out my copy of Dr. Berry's common sense labs book and make sure the lab reference ranges that they say are good are actually good.
People don't hear what they don't want to hear
Keep at it, cholesterol is not the demon people make it out to be.
