Mine were 140. First time I ever passed the test. I stopped drinking beer and started riding my bike, lifting weights, and eating better. What a difference!!!!
Doctor was literally speechless after seeing that my A1C went from 10.3 to 5.4 and then seeing my triglycerides go from 723 to 151. He kept staring at me, jaw dropped. I said, “come on man, you know it’s the sugar that raises triglycerides.” He agreed.
Same here. I went down from 247 to 81 in just 3 months of strict keto. My HDL also went up from 34 to 75! I just went compleetly against my doctors advice, who said I had to eat much less animal products and much more grains 😅
Thanks KAIT!!😉👍 Please do a VIDEO on the importance of knowing your blood test ("Apo-b") relationship to Heart Health condition!!! Avoiding risk of a Heart Attack!!💖🤗
Adiponectin level should be high. As long as trigs are low and hdl high, vitamin D high. Check out Dave Feldman and Nick Norwitz about apoB. And lean mass hyper responders.
Hi Thanks for your videos, I don’t like sea food, I’ve heard chia seeds have omega-3’s and fiber. May help too. Definitely doing the afternoon walks and sleeping better 👏🏼🙌🏼
Heres a question - how important is it to be fasted when getting bloodwork done? In other words, If you aren’t fasted when your lipid levels are checked, how accurate will the blood results be? Last time mine were checked i think i was in the 200s. That was down from 550. I think the 550 was not fasted. The one in the 200s was fasted. My doctor wasn’t worried about it? My A1C was 5.7. So i have work to do to get where i need to be but my dr wasn’t worried?! She said, “see ya next year.”
Love your advice! Can I ask you a question? Recently I have been troubleshooting my weight loss journey. The one thing I identified was the amount of saturated fat in my diet. I used to take MCT oil, daily but I looked on the nutrition label and 1TBS has 14 grams or 70% of the recommended saturated fat for the day. Is it somehow a higher metabolizing form? It just seems like a lot of Saturated fat. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Mine was improving from being at 199 on 2021 , they drop to 133 at the beginning of last year then it jumped back up to 139 towards the end of the year. I started eating very clean very low carbs no alcohol no smoking… since 2023 ….I’m baffled as to why they are going up again.
Triglycerides levels were high when I got checked out two months ago I’ve been eating, right eggs, avocado, seafood. How much MCT oil should you drink a cook with?
SECOND COMMENT:🥈I did a serious Amount of at home workouts yesterday and Thursday and Friday I will be going to the gym so today and tomorrow will be a rest day OH Wednesday I will just do abs washboard Wednesday and maybe yoga 🧘 😅
My triglycerides level is 0.5 mmol/L (as of 2/July/2024). I’m in Australia, do I need to convert this unit? My HbA1C is 5.6. It has been hovering around this mark despite reducing my carbs and sugar drastically over the past 2-3 years. I wish I could sleep more and put on more muscles but I exercise intensely in endurance stuff like swimming and ocean kayak/surf ski paddling.
@@HealthCoachKait i agree! It’s VA docs so they love to push meds. I’ve added some fiber at night and doing the ACV as well. I’m in the pre category, last A1C was 5.8 so I’ll just keep eating low carb and I just ordered some MCT for the am as well.
I dropped my triglycerides from 80 (Dec 18th 2024) to 48 mg/dL (Jan 15th 2025) in less than 4 weeks by adding 2 tablespoons of ACV to a big glass of water and drinking every morning, and also starting supplementation with Berberine 400mg twice daily. And this was during a time I started adding a bunch of high carb junk food to my diet as an N=1 experiment! I was strict carnivore for 2 months before this.
Why do you recommend such high numbers for triglycerides? Dr Mason is saying they need to be down around 0.8 or you run the risk of pattern B LDL and from observations I've made with others I've come across, he seems to be correct. As for my own numbers. They got to 5.6 and then I needed a couple of stents. That was a complete shock to me, as I considered myself relatively fit and healthy, not marathon fit, but still reasonable I thought. I had no concerns about my health or diet before the stents. I've obviously learnt the error of my ways 😀 Now low carb and high fat, mainly red meat and my triglycerides which were 5.6, are now 0.6. HDL also improved from 1.0 to 2.1 and all I did was change my diet. LDL went up significantly as well, but hopefully it's the pattern A type, at 0.6 and 2.1, it certainly should be. Unfortunately, in this backwater, New Zealand, a fractionated lipids test isn't available to find out for sure.
@HealthCoachKait yea... my boss has ulcers and just last week said his tests came back high triglycerides, and i tried explaining just what you said, he ate too much naked fruit - grapes, pears, etc - i shared this vid with him i hope he believes it now
Ever heard of the Rendel cycle if you add fat to carbs both are fuel which means the carbs are used cause our body Sees carbs as poison this means ithe carbs are digested and transfered out of the body and the fat is stored as body fat. If you want to know how the rendel cycle works Look up Bart Kay‘s channel.
There is so much happening in the body and it’s not worth stressing over every little process. Paring carbs with fat to avoid a spike is better than eating carbs alone.
@ I‘m carb intolerant due my Body don’t produces much or Non of the enzym amylase which Starts the digestion of carbs in the mouth, I stay between zero and 5g of carbs in my food cause even eggs and meat has carbs per day then I feel good. If I eat more carbs the bloating starts and the belly cramps aka constipation also my chronic pain in my bones, muscles, joints and ligaments are coming back in full blown.
How high were your triglycerides last time you had a blood test?
Hi Kait 👋, great video great info My levels were good at last blood test 😁☕👍
@@olhemi1 WOO!
My triglycerides were high
Mine were 115
Trig 158 hdl 61 6 months ago
Mine were 140. First time I ever passed the test. I stopped drinking beer and started riding my bike, lifting weights, and eating better. What a difference!!!!
Amazing! Great work Michael!
Thank you Kait, for your videos. They have been very helpful! Keep up the great work!

I said, “come on man, you know it’s the sugar that raises triglycerides.”
He agreed.
so, you went low carb, keto or carnivore?
@@whlewis9164keto and that was after 9 months, no exercise.
110 pound weight loss as a bonus too.
2 meals a day, 16/8 intermittent fasting.
@ This is the way.
Same here. I went down from 247 to 81 in just 3 months of strict keto. My HDL also went up from 34 to 75! I just went compleetly against my doctors advice, who said I had to eat much less animal products and much more grains 😅
MCT and coffee is my jam. Great way to extend that intermittent fast. ❤
Yesssssss
Am I the only one that mct oil makes me hungrier?
Add some organic valley heavy cream and yum yum lol.
Thank you Kait for sharing this with us.Good Day.

My last triglyceride reading was 315, and that was 6 months ago. I don't know what it is right now. I gotta do something to bring that down!
Mines is now 2.3 mmol/L taking meds (aspovol) and exercise has lowered it

Extremely important. Your numbers can change based on what you ate.

Hi Kait, my triglycerides is 0.78 mmol hdl 1.4 and ldl 3.9 on a carnivore diet
Triglycerides levels were high when I got checked out two months ago I’ve been eating, right eggs, avocado, seafood.
How much MCT oil should you drink a cook with?
1 tbsp of MCT oil is a good amount!
My cold water fish acronym is S.M.A.S.H: sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, halibut.

Mine is 40.
Can u call my doctor? Im on carnivore and my cholesterol was 440 amd triglycerides 140. I had to explain to her how thats ok.....i need a new doc
119. Doc wanted to put me on a statin…..ldl was 99 and total was 169 ish….hdl was only 40
Other than HDL being borderline low, those are good numbers! Even LDL isn't "high"?!
Recommending a statin with those is insane
@@HealthCoachKait i agree! It’s VA docs so they love to push meds. I’ve added some fiber at night and doing the ACV as well. I’m in the pre category, last A1C was 5.8 so I’ll just keep eating low carb and I just ordered some MCT for the am as well.
FIRST COMMENT AND FIRST LIKE:❤🥇 hi health coach Kait I’m taking a rest today🏅💖
Good morning! Enjoy your rest day 😁

Eating carbs naked is like having a salad without dressing.
Haha
I mean people will eat fruit on it's own. Most carbs people are eating "naked" are processed though: cereal, muffins, candy, etc.
@HealthCoachKait yea... my boss has ulcers and just last week said his tests came back high triglycerides, and i tried explaining just what you said, he ate too much naked fruit - grapes, pears, etc - i shared this vid with him i hope he believes it now
MCT oil gives me the runs. Doesn’t seem to matter how much I use.
Kait, Did you say Triglycerides need to be under 115 or 150?
Less than 150 mg/dL! Did I misspeak? Or maybe the captions were off?
@ it’s probably my hearing. LOL! Thank you Kait!
You did mispoke,the captions did say 115 but no big deal,we knew what you meant.Like always,appreciate the education.🙏🏼💪🏼
@@kellykent131 i heard 115 also. i m human to
Gah my bad sorry guys!! I’ll go in and edit the caption
This is so confusing because even science does say different things.. 😪

@@SimiAcheronsDemon yes, carb intolerance is different than what you are describing with the randle cycle though.
