Got results last month. First , let me say that I was sleeping about 4-5 hours a night, coincidence or not, I had eaten moderately a bunch of things in July/23 that I had avoided since March/23 like desserts, rice, pasta, pastries, ice cream, bread etc. Also, I had skipped the gym for like 2 months. LDL was 99, HDL 47, A1c 5.5, --TG 290!! Scary! Funny thing is that I lost 15 pounds after a month on keto in March and have sustained my new weight since then. It make me think that my levels were even worse before when I was 15 pounds above 😅 Went back to exercising 4-5x/week both weight lifting and cardio, stopped the simple carb intake, went back to sleeping at least 7 hours. Now supplementing Mg, Zinc and Vitamin K2. Hopefully it all helps. Will go for another blood test again in the end of August. Let’s see!
Thank you for sharing your health journey with us. It's evident that you've taken proactive steps to improve your health and well-being, and it's great to hear that you've made positive changes in your lifestyle. Lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and sleep, can significantly impact our health and biomarker levels. It's not uncommon for changes in diet and physical activity to affect cholesterol levels and other blood markers. Additionally, stress and lack of sleep can also play a role in overall health. Here are some key points to consider: Cholesterol Levels: Your LDL cholesterol (99) and HDL cholesterol (47) are both important indicators of heart health. Lowering LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol are often associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Continue to focus on a healthy diet and exercise routine, as these can positively impact cholesterol levels. A1c: An A1c level of 5.5 indicates good blood sugar control over the past few months. Maintaining stable blood sugar levels is essential for preventing complications related to diabetes and supporting overall health. Triglycerides: A triglyceride level of 290 is higher than the recommended range and may indicate a need for dietary and lifestyle changes. Reducing simple carbohydrate intake, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can help lower triglyceride levels. Lifestyle Changes: It's encouraging that you've returned to a healthier lifestyle, including regular exercise and improved sleep. These changes, along with dietary modifications and supplementation, can positively impact your overall health and biomarkers. Monitoring Progress: Regular blood tests, like the one you plan to take in August, are an excellent way to track your progress and evaluate the effectiveness of the changes you've made. Remember that each person's body responds differently to lifestyle changes, and it may take time to see the full impact on your biomarkers. Staying consistent with your healthy habits is crucial for long-term well-being. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian can provide valuable guidance and personalized advice based on your specific health goals and needs. They can help you develop a comprehensive plan to support your overall health and manage any specific health concerns effectively. Best of luck with your continued journey toward better health, and we hope your upcoming blood test results show even more improvements! Keep up the great work! 🌻
@@HeartDiseaseCode thank you very much for the support! I’ll be happy to see any change for the good in my labs. It will be a great reward and motivation to keep going! I’ll Keep your advice in mind!
If you're dealing with slightly elevated triglyceride and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, and you have concerns about a partially clogged artery, it's essential to work closely with a healthcare provider or a cardiologist to develop a personalized plan for managing your heart health. Here are some general suggestions that you can discuss with your healthcare provider: Dietary Modifications: Focus on a heart-healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit saturated and trans fats, which can raise LDL cholesterol levels. Replace them with healthier fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish. Reduce dietary sources of added sugars and refined carbohydrates, as they can raise triglyceride levels. Exercise: Regular physical activity can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, as recommended by health authorities. Medication: Depending on the severity of your cholesterol levels and the condition of your arteries, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications, such as statins, to help lower cholesterol. Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for managing cholesterol levels and heart health. Lifestyle Changes: Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as both can negatively impact heart health. Regular Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed. Cardiovascular Testing: Your healthcare provider may recommend additional cardiovascular tests, such as a stress test or coronary angiography, to assess the condition of your arteries and determine the extent of blockages. It's important to work closely with your healthcare team to address your specific situation. They can provide you with a comprehensive assessment and recommendations tailored to your needs. Making healthy lifestyle choices and adhering to medical advice are essential for managing your heart health and addressing concerns about clogged arteries.
Try organic non gmo Oatmeal in the morning with some blueberry and raspberry, But let that be the only carb of the day. Increase your fiber. When you're tired at night go to sleep don't look at your phone. It's all about vegetables and low glycemic fruit. Fiber fiber
Check your BMI. Give up sweet,oily food and increase veg, nuts, seeds and some fruits. Follow sincere intermittent fasting, green tea and two liter water. 15000 steps brisk walk daily ie 7500 in the morning and same in the evening, preferably before sleep time for good sleep. You will feel the difference!
There is no such thing as essential carbs. They are all "empty" calories. You get used to getting your energy from fats, proteins and cruciferous veggies.
Suggest adding how quickly food and drink can elevate or lower triglycerides. If someone consumes alcohol or loads of carbs the night before a blood test will that affect the triglyceride results or does it have to be in your body longer? Thank you and good video.
@@forward_ever_ever2595 had blood work other day w/o fasting @ for the 1st my triglycerides were high at 295. Dr sending med out but I will not take the side effects are awful.
i too consume alcohol at night and do blood test and report shows 600 plus twice it happen after alcohol and test next day but after few months when I fast and test it's shows 171
My trig. is 105 and hdl is 79. So divide these? Makes it 1.32. If my math is correct. So at age 54 seems pretty good. I eat very little sweets any more. No bread, Very few carbs. Eat plenty of fat, Eggs/meat most mornings. Walk at least 2 miles a day at a fast pace. Every now and then do 3/4 miles. Plus ride bike sometimes. Some strength training using bands. I haven't been this weight since high school. Now low 170's. I used to be in the 220's most of my adult life. I see it this way... I used to carry around a softener bag of salt and then some. No wonder I struggled to get around
I don't think there is anything on your diet change list that I don't already do. I've been near zero carbs for a few years, and no longer diabetic. But I had higher triglycerides at my last review. The suggestion was that, having dropped carbs, I've increased fat. I'm trying to lessen cheese and cream. Too good to be true that these were beneficial ! Almost hope that doesn't work and I can add them back.
Yeah i'm in same boat i do OMAD and very little carb my HDL is higher which is good and A1C is lower, I exercise and lost 25 pounds yet damn triglycerides are at 260 its likely the extra fat. I will stop diary and lower alcohol. fustrating.
@@mwbro123 alcohol! Never was a big thing for me, but we had tested and tried all the low alchohol beer. Found some that tasted good! But in truth the carbs were still way too high despite low alcohol. Lemon slice in hot water with a splash of cider vinegar is good. Can't see many agreeing with me though.
My triglycerides is 0.44 mmol/L (38 mg/dL). How? I do intermittent fasting, no sugar at all, only 65 gram of complex carb per week & do exercise 6 days /week
The fastest sure fire way to lower Triglycerides is to not eat carbs at all. Triglycerides will plummet. Ask anyone on keto diet or Carnivore diet. My triglyceride number is routinely 40-60. I take in 10-15 carbs a day. Watch any Low Carb Down Under video , Dr Berry, or and Carnivore/Keto channel.
Was on high sugar carb fruit diet with low red meat for decades Insulin resistant fast glucose upper 90's 10 months ago started IF 16/8 to 19/5 and still on same diet with relatively lower table sugar intake After 7 mo. (3 mo. ago) started low carb diet (50-70g /day) w/ IF. 2 months after that I did my first triglyceride blood test ever Fasting glucose 84 Total chol 202 HDL 55 LDL 16O TG 302 Freaked out and stopped eating red meat and meat fat After 10 days repeat bloodwork but I was 45 hours into a 48 hour fast (coincidence) Fasting glucose 64 Total chol 184 HDL 63 LDL 102 TG 95 1. Is the low carb diet for 2 mo. Caused TG 302 or it must hv been 400 or 500 and low carb/keto brought down to 302? 2. What brought TG down from 302 TO 96 in 10 days is it from obstaining from red/fat meat or caused by prolonged fast towards the end of which they draw the blood sample. Is 302 to 95 good sign or just the product of not eating for 45 hours. Please provide your opinion thoughts about this.
I'm afraid your low carb diet wasn't really a low carb diet. Unless you were into ketosis and at 50 and above that's unlikely. You were not eating a low carb diet. My carb intake is around 12 carbs per day. My diet is Primarily red meat and fats and my triglycerides are at 45. You should have no raw sugar intake at all including fruit and grains, potatoes, corn, rice, beans. I've followed my low carb diet for 30 years now. Unless you have some medical issue high triglycerides are a marker for excessive sugar intake. Fasting is not necessary on a low carb diet and may well throw you into starvation mode making it harder to lose weight. A real low carb diet should cause you to lose ten pounds of water weight over the first two weeks and one to two pounds weekly thereafter. I would suggest you forget everything you've read on line and find a 40 + year old copy of atkins new diet revolution and get the real info on low carb diets and how to do them properly. Good luck.
@@bettywhill no Was 9 or 10 hrs. But as a follow up I did another blood test one month later again and my triglycetide went down again from 95 to 55 and I fasted 9 or 10 hrs so this tells me that it is not related to additional fasting time beyond the standard 8 to 10 hrs. Next time I will redo again. I believe my triglycerides were higher than 300 and I caught it on its way down approx 2 months or so into low carb regimen...I hope this helps other ppl because TGs are a real danger to the vascular system and I believe I discovered some damage already in my body that's irreversable but all I hv to do now is keep it up. It's tough.
@@71160000 Gonna have to agree with this comment. 50-70g of carbs daily is not gonna put you in ketosis. I eat 0 carbs a day aside from incidental carbs that aren't on the labels because its less than 1 or whatever. I almost exclusively eat fatty red meat, eggs, and bacon. Lost 80lbs and feel better than ever in my life. I don't purposefully fast but it does happen if I'm not hungry. Been this way for over 2 years now.
Corn can be a part of a heart-healthy diet when consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced dietary pattern. Consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to develop a dietary plan that addresses your specific health concerns and helps you manage your triglyceride levels effectively.

@@keithcitizen4855 soooo... ignore the "dietician", whose advice got you into this pickle in the first place. Severely limit fruit, if you want fruit go for the berries. Blueberries, raspberries etc. Strawberries are also ok (although not technically a fruit).
Alcohol is a carb due to being converted to sugar then fat by the liver. Also if you use/take cortisol steroid creams or steroid pills at all it’ll raise your triglycerides a lot!
My dr told me to eat things like avocado, and olive oil to help reduce triglycerides , my cousins told me to have chía or chia seed oil , and I also started to do low carb, something helped because my triglycerides are now lower . 🤔
I thought fructose comes from processed foods. We consume fresh fruits for its nutritional purposes, There is so much controversy out there. I believe Whole Foods provide the best nutrition .
Totally agree with you Ann, wholefoods are way more nutritious. Regarding fructose; it's a naturally occurring sugar, which in it's wholefood form such as fruits is normally fine, it's the processed refined fructose that is dangerous.
@@HeartDiseaseCode As you say processed fruit, in the form of juice is way too sweet. The labels are frightening. But I was advised, to make serious progress, to stay clear of all fruits . Just have Berries, low sugar and satisfying , blue berries, raspberries , strawberries etc. Not the grapefruit and other fruit that I ate a lot of. But my taste has changed
Whole fruit food provide FRUCTOSE. Don’t eat a lot of whole fruits. Try berries or watermelons. Try a balanced diet of Whole Foods that don’t contain fructose.
Fried food is not the problem. It depends on the oil used in the flying process. Fry chicken in avocado oil and you have healthy fried chicken. Point being, fried foods are not inherently bad.
1-regular exercise
2-review medication, (certain meds increase triglycerides)
3-avoid processed & simple carbs
4-avoid fructose (sugar from fruit)
5-replaced high carb foods with veggies
6-consume foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids
7-reduce alcohol intake
8-Intermittent fasting
9-prioritize sleep.
Fruits are not harmful. Humans have been eating it since ages.
Sugar from fruit ( processed)
Fructose and juices he said not for fructose in whole raw fruit. Processing takes how to fiber. Fiber slows our body processing the fruit.

I'm confused my HDL higher A1C lower... yet Triglycerides higher
Alcohol is a carb due to being converted to sugar then fat by the liver. Also if you use/take cortisol steroid creams or steroid pills at all it’ll raise your triglycerides a lot!
My dr told me to eat things like avocado, and olive oil to help reduce triglycerides , my cousins told me to have chía or chia seed oil , and I also started to do low carb, something helped because my triglycerides are now lower . 🤔
WHERE'S THE BEEF
I thought fructose comes from processed foods. We consume fresh fruits for its nutritional purposes, There is so much controversy out there. I believe Whole Foods provide the best nutrition .
Totally agree with you Ann, wholefoods are way more nutritious. Regarding fructose; it's a naturally occurring sugar, which in it's wholefood form such as fruits is normally fine, it's the processed refined fructose that is dangerous.
@@HeartDiseaseCode As you say processed fruit, in the form of juice is way too sweet. The labels are frightening. But I was advised, to make serious progress, to stay clear of all fruits . Just have Berries, low sugar and satisfying , blue berries, raspberries , strawberries etc. Not the grapefruit and other fruit that I ate a lot of. But my taste has changed
Whole fruit food provide FRUCTOSE. Don’t eat a lot of whole fruits. Try berries or watermelons. Try a balanced diet of Whole Foods that don’t contain fructose.
You lost me on fish. They get their O3 from algae. So just eat the alga. Skip the Mercury, nano plastic and coastal sewage.
Hahaha. Your algae is full of that stuff too. Too funny.
My triglycerides were very high. Got them down to 52 taking alge based omega 3s product. Iwi Life Heart.
@@DeeKruand now he is full of sewage😂😅😂
I used to eat fried chicken once per month but no more.
Fried food is not the problem. It depends on the oil used in the flying process. Fry chicken in avocado oil and you have healthy fried chicken. Point being, fried foods are not inherently bad.
Noooo… triglycerides are not lipoproteins, they are fats!
