Great presentation and I mean the great presentation. I noticed on the comments when people had mentioned you can’t write to the point that is so important today. Going to check out the video you made on what food to eat to lower cholesterol. Please keep the videos coming and your research. Also I have to make you sound so confident in the information you’re giving and that definitely is important to viewers!!!! from Hawaii
Taking all that plus have recently added daily Metamucil 🥤 in the hope of fending off threat of statins. Bonus is amazing poops 😂 I’m late, as I often am finding you, but very nicely presented, doc👍🏽
Hello Doctor, are there any supplements to lower triglycerides? I am not able to lower this to normal level. I am taking statin and cholesterol is low to around normal but triglycerides are always little high.
“A little high” is kind of hard to say, but generally: 1) avoid highly refined carbohydrates, white bread/muffins/English muffins/crackers. The ones with a high glycemic index 2) make sure you’re exercising 3) try and get your weight in an optimal range 4) increase your level of fish oils or EPA/DHA to ~1.5 to 2 grams 5) make sure your levels were checked while truly fasting! We can do cholesterol labs without fasting, but to get a good read in triglycerides you should have a true 10-12 hrs fast 6) if they are really high make sure you talk to your doctor about inherited conditions that cause high triglycerides
I disagree with your recommendation for Vitamin D3 of 1000iu. I have been taking 5,000 iu/day yet my bloodwork indicates only 46 ng/mL which is within normally prescribed area of 30-50 ng/mL. There is a rapidly growing concensus that is recommending blood levels of Vitamin D of 50-70 ng/mL. Anything above 100 ng/mL is approaching toxic levels (>125 ng/mL). Too many Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. One should ask their doctor for this test during their annual physical. Ever since I have been taking the 5,000 iu w/K2 MK7 I have never had anything more than a very mild fever/flu - even my Covid-19 symptoms were very mild (although we were fully vaccinated as well which helped)
Totally agree- the best way to do this is with a blood test to check your level before/during supplementation. If that’s not possible 1-2,000/day should be reasonable. I personally have seen patients have toxic high levels of Vitamin D so monitoring is helpful!
Thank you my sister just got told she has very high cholesterol, I was looking to see what could help her thanks !!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Coenzyme q10, fish oil or omega 3s, vitamin d, magnesium
Thank you.
Thanks for the information
Straight to the point. Thank you.
I reuded all ststins because they almost sll have fluoride in them. My wise brother got me Critis Begamont!!!! I also have been taking berberine.
@@maureengreen8240 i’m sure berberine and bergamot are contaminated with other shit which you just aren’t aware of. There is no perfect.

@@HealthyFamilyDoc Thank you for the prompt response Doc. If possible consider moving to Dallas,TX.
@@vivekjac from Maine to Texas, now that would be quite the different lifestyle! I’ll take it under consideration 😉
@@HealthyFamilyDoc Lol ok. Thanks Doc..
Betaine anhydrous, taurine, and NAC lowered mine a ton. My triglycerides came back at 41 last time.
