Replying to Avatar vinney...axkl

I voluntarily got a wide range of blood tests, having been on a #paleo diet for about 8 months.

every single marker is off the charts in the **good** direction (including LDL particle size, a1c, various insulin resistance markers, HDL, Triglycerides, etc etc.) _EXCEPT_ for "total cholesterol", which is comically high. I have a clean CAC scan.

I am a fit and healthy person, eating an evolutionarily-approproate diet, sleeping well, exercising, feeling great, and most measurements modern medicine uses say "good", but this one says "we should get you on lifelong statins ASAP!".

...you tell me what's actually broken here, my metabolism or the yardstick!

what do you ask for to get those particle size and insulin resistance tests?

my doctor's office wouldn't do it! you'd be asking for the NMR Lipid panel or anything that includes LDL-P, HDL-P and particle size.

I went to a website that lets you order your own lab req and then take it to a local LabCorp to do the blood draw.

_the scam runs deep, I say_

thanks

and LDL-P and HDL-P is different than just LDL and HDL?

these tests are the ones that come together into the particle size analysis.

IR Insulin resistance and hemoglobin A1C.

LabCorp has all of these, here is the list I got recently:

NMR LipoProfile+Lipids+IR+Gph;

Hemoglobin A1c;

Lipoprotein (a);

C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac;

Apolipoprotein B;
