My LATEST BLOOD TEST RESULTS after 1 1/2 YEARS STRICT CARNIVORE. Am I disappointed?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2024
- These are the complete results of all my blood and urine tests after 1 1/2 years on a strict carnivore diet. Blood was drawn Dec 29, 2023 and results came in this morning, Jan 2nd, 2024. These are the honest results of all tests that I download from the VA website this morning, and my commentary on the results.

I'm 74. As I mentioned in a previous post, I too had a complete physical at the VA in Oct. During the physical interview with my doc (he's been my doc for 16 years) we talked about what was going on in my life because he was amazed by my appearance and blood test results. Two and half years ago at my last last physical I weighed 215 pounds. I had very high LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, low vitamin D and iron levels, and my A1C was 6.0 (borderline diabetic). This time my weight was 163, my LDL was still high, but my HDL, vitamin D and iron levels were all in the normal range. The biggest change was my A1C level was 5.0, which is the lowest it's been in 12 years according to the doc. Fortunately, my doc knows about carnivore and has seen a couple of videos by the carnivore docs (Chaffee, Berry, and Baker). He said he wasn't concerned by my LDL level given my diet. When I left his office all he said was "You're doing great, keep doing what your doing. I wish my other patients were making the same kind of progress." Edited... thanks for sharing your results brother.
That's great to here. He better be careful, or the VA might fire him for such radical and dangerous views.... lol
That is truly awesome! Congrats on having an open minded doctor! Let’s hope all docs go this way and support carnivore!
Same story... 280lb and AWFUL blood tests.. i had bad metabolic syndrome.. 6 months later, after i start carnivore, I go in and im 220lbs and all my blood tests are perfect. No more type 2, no more NAFLD.. triglycerides from 9 to 2.. you name it I fixed it in 6 months. My robot doctor zeroes in on my LDL and tells me I need a statin :( That was 3 years ago and our relationship has completely deteriorated with my refusal to take most of his advice. I so desperately want to say "If I want to be sick and die sooner, I'll take your advice"
@@user-xj5xp6qz5g wouldn’t you want a different doctor? One who appreciates you and compliments you on your success.
PS: You want to have "high" HDL.
Dittos brother! I went carnivore 2 years ago. I’m 65. I retired firefighter as of 3 years ago. Down from 240lbs to 180 now. Best health of my life. Building muscle. Having fun enjoying my retirement. I quit doctors.
👍👍
Funny thing about docs. You don't need em till you need em.
@@fiberbeads yup. As it should be.
Doctors are good for acute care. Chronic care and keeping us off meds? Not so much.
752.38 testosterone. Breaking news - Florida based single female boomers launch manhunt to locate Old Guy Carnivore. 👍
Nice work Mitch.
That's funny! 😁
I was thinking same thing lol. Great job.
So right Mitch!
At 52 my PSA topped out at 6.35, I had 2 urologists both screaming at me that there was no way to lower my PSA and that I needed a biopsy! I went OMAD KETO fast forward 2 years it had dropped to 3.0 (it’s 2.9 summer 2023 at 57 years young), I was at my GP’s office asking how this could be? She ran out of the examination room! Fact: these doctors don’t want you healthy they want you sick and dependent on them!
Have a great new year Mitch! Second day full carnivore for me!
Thanks, you too!
The doctors actually want you healthy, the real problem is they get their training from the insurance companies who want you sick. The doctors genuinely believe what they are doing for you is the right thing because that is how they are trained. The medical insurance companies are the true evil ones. They know carnivore makes us healthy and they don't want the masses finding out the truth because that means less $$$ in their greedy evil pockets. They insurance companies want us to stay sick so we can keep paying them for medications that don't fix the root cause but only relieve the symptoms. The lies are sold so genuinely to us because they use Doctors who actually do care and train them incorrectly.
I have no idea what you sad. Why did who run away ?
@@seascape185 go carnivore. Simple enough?
Did you eliminate dairy in the last 2 years? I dropped my PSA from 6.2 to 3.7 in 6 months by eliminating dairy and going 99% carnivore. All while my testosterone increased 38% to 640.
At 71 I went on a ketogenic diet and it’s 73. I went carnivore. I am now 78 and I’ve been carnivore for five years, and I am still alive! WTF😂🙏
How is that even possible? lol
Thank you sir for this...70 yrs. old, 16 months not strict carnivore but pretty close, (Coffee and heavy cream drinker). I've decided
to avoid Drs. and negative minded people altogether. Don't care what they think. Its my body and my life and I am experiencing
all the same benefits as most other carnivores. Personally, the toughest part of this lifestyle is the disapproval of other people and institutions that are dependent on our illness rather than our health...Subbed and liked..
I'm glad that you're here
I'm 71 - and I laughed out loud at your testosterone levels! I've known a few men who would be perfectly willing to risk that high cholesterol in return for that level of testosterone!
I don't see the risk ...lol
I'm in awe at his testo number.
Dx Type 2 Jun 2023 during a physical for a new job interview process. A1c of 8.0 and fasting glucose was 150mg/dL (no fasting insulin test was ordered by the prospective employer). I'm 66 years old, 6' tall, & was 255 lbs at that time. Within a week went OMAD carnivore. On 26 Dec 2023, I personally ordered & paid for an "On-Demand" A1c test from Labcorp. A1c result was 5.3. Average fasting glucose blood stick each morning is 85 & ketones measure at 1.4 mmol/L average. I'm 175 lbs this morning. I've an endocrinologist appointment in late Mar 2024. Will now focus on my ALT, trigs & and HDL, which were "out of range" @ 76, 31 & 174 respectively Jun 2023. Carnivore for life.
Congratulations! That's fabuluous!
@OldGuyCarnivore Thanx Mitch, feeling great!
In relation to your home gym build video, this is the next step for me. Not building a home gym, but exercising, which is something I've neglected for over thirty years. I've been using 3 lb & 10 lb hand weights the last month or so. HIIT sprinting is next on the list... along with quitting cigarettes. I think I'll buy a basketball and shoot hoops, which used to be my passion and is great for hand to eye coordination. All should help with TG/HDL Ratio. I look forward to further videos from you on your exercise regimen. Dante @ Ferigno Freedom is beginning an experiment with HIIT sprinting this New Year, so I'm watching his channel closely as well.
Did I get the job? Yes, it was a grueling 4 month process getting all the paperwork, security clearances, etc. When I'd checked off the last item on the list and received the official employment offer letter, the Hamas/Israel War began. The Middle East compound where I'd be living/working right now has been attacked over 250 times since Oct 2023...so deployment is officially on hold. I'm glad I hadn't told my present employer yet or turned in "2 week notice." 😬
Great results this far 👏👏👏
Congratulations! Carnivore is the way to reverse t2d. 🥓🍖🥩
Inspirational . Thankyou
Sounds good to me! My LDL has been high all my life ranging from 230 to 350. But like you, I am the healthiest at 75 that I have ever been! Carry on, Mitch! Your doing just fine!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Some use the following 5 measures together to indicate metabolic health
1 Waist circumference

Woman lt 35
2 Fasting glucose 12 hours

3 HDL man gt 40
Woman gt 50

Yes old guy, LDL as a single measure of cardiovascular health is really stupid but used by hundreds of thousands of doctors
Superior measures over LDL:
ApoB
Lipoprotein (a)
Congratulations on the high LDL you’ll have the benefit of living longer.
Yes!
Hey Mitch, Happy New Year!
You're absolutely correct, we all need to educate ourselves on this issue. The prevailing wisdom of the last 40 or so years has been disastrous, the overall decline in health speaks for itself.
Exactly!
@@OldGuyCarnivore you can't get a heart attack as soon as your LDL goes up, it takes years, if i was on carnivore diet i would take statins and aspirin to counter the fatty blood and decrease in endothelial function
@@OldGuyCarnivore Nick is exception, you are not an LMHR candidate, evolutionary biology = SHORT term survey over optimal health ALWAYS
You're supposed to say "In my opinion".
@@OldGuyCarnivore not in my opinion, humans and nature would do anything just to survive, it has nothing to do with certain foods being good for us
You make complete sense in a world where there is no common sense , I’m with you thanks Mitch
My pleasure, Mary!
Mitch, I am horrified by the reference range of LDL being given as less than 99. That is CRAZY!!! That level is dangerously low. No wonder the general population is getting sicker and sicker.
It is mind-boggling. Yet they stick with it!
And up is down and left is right. eh?
It’s to get you on meds ..
@@Bd-ox4miand keep u coming back
Nice one, Mitch. It's looking like you will be around in rude good health for the foreseeable future!
It's amazing how everything is improving once you stop eating plants. It's almost like you're not poisoned anymore. Who knew?
Kinda becoming obvious, Anthony. You would think that the "smart" people in the food and drug companies might take notice! LOL
@OldGuyCarnivore They are noticing. Hence, all the new studies tell us to stop eating meat!
@@anthonymason385Most physicians aren't helping us get healthier, sadly.
I'm amazed somebody had something good to say about the VA....
Thanks Mitch
Great work, I'm getting to your health levels. Started my carnivore journey 217 days now after a heart attack on a so called healthy diet of lots of veg and small amounts of lean meat. Got to say that I feel like I'm 25 years younger with my energy levels and many health problems just faded away.
Great to hear!
I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN CURTAINS. They are just so happy!!!
They came with the house ...lol
Im so glad i ran into this channel. Mitch you should be a coach. Your demeanor and way if explaining things is perfect. Ive been struggling with carnivore. A few of your videos have given me hope and motivation.
Thank You for an awesome update. This is great to see.
My pleasure!
I'm 66yo. I almost never have illnesses or medical issues. In fact I only go to the doc to be stitched up after a knife or hatchet slip. I go by how I FEEL, and don't give a fk about numbers. So far it's worked for me.
Probably a great decision!
same - 66 - hardly ever went to doc, WON'T go to doc unless its a wound. Now with carnivore diet I feel protected going forward. The world system is largely a failure.
The same goes for me. I don't concern myself about numbers.
I'm 71yo and on the carnivore way of eating for 4 months now and feeling great.
All my life l have enjoyed good health, as l mainly ate meat anyway, with only a small amount of fruit and vegetables.
I don't drink alcohol anymore (gave it up when l started carnivore) and have never smoked.
I just eat when l'm hungry and only drink water when l'm thirsty. (No tea or coffee)
I'm down from 98kgs to 72kgs now. This new lifestyle is easy for me.
Every time I've ever gone to the doctor for any reason at all, I'd always end up on antibiotics or pain killers or some other useless garbage, "just in case", they say. Doctors don't have time to do much else besides prescribing whatever is hot with the pharmaceutical companies (and is most profitable) at the time.
Trig:HDL ratio 1.4. Awesome!!!
Congratulations Mitch- everything looks fantastic. A1C looks great too. Nothing else really matters :)
Happy New Year!!!
Thanks David!
When I worked in ICU, the first thing docs checked on potential heart attack victims was their tryglyceride level. Low is good!
WOW! That test score is amazing!!! Keep up the good work. My wife and I are on carnivore diet with some strategic carbs thrown in occassionally through out the month for weight training/recovery purposes
Very good results and tank you for sharing. You are leading a group of people who like to research how to become healthier and take the steps. This shows medical establishment they need to change. Very good analysis, unbiased, uncorrupted. I have been doing the same things and my numbers are similar. Living the longest and healthiest is a very good message. Do your research and decide.
Excellent Mitch and thank you so much for your transparent explanation ... It is worth millions to all of us who are taking charge of our health by adopting the carnivore lifestyle !!
Thanks for that!
👏 well done Mitch. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Love the video and your delivery of the information. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure, and thanks!
Good for you man! This is pure gold in regards to solid info.
Glad it was helpful!
Very well done. Informative Thanks Mitch..Congratulations on the great progress.
Thanks, Randy!
Good video, Mitch. Thanks. I'm 75. Today is 18 weeks on carnivore. Can't remember feeling this good/well for years. My yearly VA checkup is in June. After watching your video, I am looking forward to what my labs will reveal, though I am reasonably sure the LDL will be quite high. But hey, I ain't gonna sweat it, as so much is now coming to light about cholesterol's function.
At our age, why worry about it. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
Great job Mitch! I learn so much from you! Don't ever stop!
I appreciate that!
Great advice. Do your own research and follow what makes sense. Thanks for posting your results and congratulations. Started carnivore about 2 months ago.
Thanks!
Hi from Connecticut 🙏
I love your story and the updates!!❤️❤️

Happy New Year to you as well, and thanks!
Congrats Mitch, Well done!
Thanks!
Go Mitch! I have not done any blood tests since starting carnivore because I do not want to come face to face with a doctor unless I am dying. However, it is interesting to hear the results of other carnivores.
I understand your thoughts. Me too, especially where I live and Carnivore being so new. Happy New Year. 🎆
@@AnneMB955 Thanks. You too!
I understand completely!
"I do not want to come face to face with a doctor unless I am dying." Hahaha. And maybe not even then.
I am 2 years carnivore, and went to the Dr to get an overall metabolic health test done. Generally OK results, but LDL very high at 450. Of course Dr wanted me on statins (I said no), and also wanted me on the stronger stuff (PK9s?), and I said no. Never forget that your doctor works for you, not the other way round. You do not have to do what they say. They are a consultant that you can choose to listen to or not.
Mitch your a Legend thank you for a clear and concise breakdown of your tests... The numbers speak for themselves
Love your no frills approach to your presentation
Best wishes from Perth Western Australia🇦🇺
Thank you very much!
Thanks for info. I am in the middle of an N = 1 also 👍🦖🦖🦖🦖
Hi Mitch Great video. Thank you for sharing your results. They are so encouraging and I am so excited to start eating carnivore. The main thing is that you feel healthy
I agree!
Mitch EVERY video you make is SOLID! Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Might be a young pup here at 54. Great video man! I am glad to see that your numbers look great! I am 4 months carnivore, a bit hybrid of animal.
Thanks again Mitch. Loved this interesting video. Happy New Year to you!
Same to you!
Congrats Mitch, excellent results 😀
Thanks 👍
Your results look great Mitch! Congrats! I truly feel that Lean Mass Hyper Responder is common for carnivores. As more people go carnivore the more it will be super common and prove that LDL is not a problem if our triglycerides are low and HDL is high. You also show how carnivore heals hormones for all ages. People need to drop the worry on LDL and over all cholesterol if eating a low carb keto or carnivore diet!
I wholeheartedly believe that. Thanks!

Bravo mitch living proof right there. I'm with the VA as well, Unfortunately I keep Getting chief residency doctors. They don't know much I don't share with them what my program is, There's no way they would understand so I'm on my own. I asked him for a, c reactive protein and he replied what for. With that being said, I'm 74 years old. I weigh 198. No medication, Just meat Bacon-and-eggs and so on. My blood work is near perfect. I rarely shit in my recliner. P.S. I'm looking forward to our next walk Mitch, And spending 2024 with our carnivore group. Happy New Year.
Thanks, Rod, lol..
67 feeling great been doing my own research and it is saddled close to yours. Thanks for sharing your personal information. I have a medical soon as well and looking forward to my results. My blood markers last time were not so good, I was just starting carnivore when it was done.
Good luck, Stanley!
Ty Mitch, yes I'm still around. Also going through your older videos. I do not personally know this man but I love him as a human being. Thanks again for sharing your numbers.

My pleasure!
Thanks for this, Mitch. I am one of those many tens of thousands who chose carnivore and 16 months later still going strong. At 64, I owe it to myself and family to live a strong, healthy and happy life. I am in the best shape of my life. No meds. No issues. A metabolic health age of 41. All I do, is eat no carbs and lots of protein and fats (butter, tallow, lard). That's it. Simple yet profoundly effective. Mitch, your testosterone markers made me laugh hard when you announced them! Great job! No erectile disfunction at 76! Brilliant! Young guys take note!
With literally tens of thousands of anecdotal cases like you, when do you think they'll glance in our direction and realize they're doing it all wrong? Probably never as long as there's a buck to be made!
While Big Pharma and Big Food control the supply chains then it ain't gonna happen! Right? The world has been hi-jacked by cheap carb-based food companies that make their crap taste good. I feel sorry for the younger generation who don't take control of their eating. Sad but true. @@OldGuyCarnivore
@@OldGuyCarnivore I think they already know!!!! But the money making Kellogs and the like ain't going to give up their nonsense
Thanks again Mitch! Great results...thanks for sharing with us. We are definitely onto something! I hope people will see your videos and try carnivore too. Maybe the medical establishment will get their head out of their ass one day and pay attention to reality.
When pigs fly! LOL
Thanks for sharing, this helps the rest of us to believe in what we’re doing. God bless you.
Glad to help
Thank you Mitch! Great to hear your thoughts, and experiences on carnivore diet. Just turned 45 this year and started on carnivore first week of March, and I’m feeling better than ever. Cheers

I’m on raw carnivore and my B12 was 1745 (range 197-771) 😂 thank you so much for sharing your results Mitch, it’s great to be able to compare. We should have a database for all of us carnivores of our blood test results and lifestyle/full diet notes
That would be an ambitious project ... lol
I’m putting it on my list 😁
How long raw? Do you notice a difference from cooked meat? Or did u start your carnivore journey with raw?
Congrats Mitch on your results. Not only are you leading by example...you are also showing those who will listen and be reasonable to be independent thinkers.
Yes sir..we've been lied to about so many important and meaningful things in life that I too am convinced this is the right path for health.
I appreciate that, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your numbers, Mitch. I've got my bloodwork coming up in Bangkok next week.
Sounds great!
Wow, just wow. Thank you for sharing this, Mitch. I appreciate you sharing your results. As us old farts say, the proof is in the pudding. Medical advise changes every week and at the end of the day our bodies know what is best for us. Keep rocking it and doing what you inherently know what is best.
Thank you, I appreciate that
Hi Mitch. Thank you for sharing your blood test results, and offering your input on them. I'm 2 yrs carnivore. My doc's main focus on my blood test results was the LDL number, even though my triglyceride level was .5. The benefits far outweigh going back to the SAD, and I too, will stay informed and take my chances.
That is our personal choice. I seem to be in better health than any of the doctors I have seen over the years.....lol
You do know there are other options then the standard American diet. You don't have to eat like crap. A healthy omnivore diet is an option, one that's plant focused, if you're worried about cholesterol.
@@mrmaxcarter2306 Of course I know. These two aren't the only options I've tried, but this is what I choose to do for now. Thanks for pointing it out, though.
@@dixiedixiedal I personally don't think carnivore is the best Long term diet, but anything is better then the standard American. Whatever someone thinks about cholesterol, the added sugar and highly processed foods is something carnivores and whole food plant based vegans can probably agree on.
New study from Scandinavia 47,000 people. 2 factors associated with living to 100... low insulin and high cholesterol.
I saw that. Just more evidence of what we already know from many other studies and our own observations and experiences.. Thanks!
Can you attach that study? I can't find it.
Might you have a link for that study?
Imma live to 110!
Could you please provide a link; I was unable to find reference to this study.
Keep up with the fantastic lifestyle and results.
Thank you! Will do!
Happy New Year,and congratulations, Mr. Mitch!👍🏽
Thank you! Same to you!
I really like your attitude and approach. I am 45 and doing carnivore for 6 months and the results are amazing. Feel more fit and healthy than my late twenties! I have the feeling that switching to carnivore makes you 20 years younger :) Also lost about 45 pounds but would do carnivore even without the weight loss. It difficult to see some many people struggling with physical and mental health issues where I am convinced that if they would switch what they are putting in their mouth they would be at least 85% better. Hope your channel reaches those people also.
I'll be 45 in March! Same here! Been doing ketovore and just started carnivore yesterday lol but I was WFPB for years and yeah I feel like I'm getting my youth back! My mind keeps saying I'm going to drop dead from a heat attack and yet my body is saying "wow, girl, this is good" lol
Thanks so much. I wish I had discovered this at your age!
Your funny, i'm 74 & have no reason to think other wise I WILL BE WATCHING YOU 20 YEARS FROM NOW. Take care Mitch.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate that
Happy New year, longevity for you and us😊😊😊

I'm a 61 year old veteran. I have done the research also, for years since I exited with health issues. I want to say, with all due respect, your WBC is not low. It is within range. Mine is low however at 3.2-so don't fret on numbers that are within range.
Best of health to you, carry on.
Congratulations Mitch!!!🎉
Thanks so much!
Great podcast 👏
Great numbers, Mitch! You know, it really is hard because it feels just like you said: "You place your bet." In this day and age, you'd think we would know more and have more *honest* information available, but alas, it is not so. If anything, food decisions are more convoluted than ever. So yes, we have to use ourselves as an experiment. But I would say that so far your experiment is going quite well. 🧡
Thanks!

I hope so!
Thanks Mitch. Great vid.

Hi Mitch, new subbie here. I started carnivore only 3 days ago, In a few days i’ll be 59 and I love the info you’ve provided here. Thankyou so much.
Welcome, and good luck!
50 just started
Veteran as well (53 yr old). Upcoming annual blood work end of Feb. Not too worried even though my LDL will likely be high. Fortunately my Doc listens to me and she knows how I eat and sees/understands everything other than LDL is phenomenal. Me too I get additional things like Vit D ordered no question. =). Hydration levels can affect electrolytes. I was not quite hydrated last test and sodium showed low.. but barely. So no worries I bet you are fine with everything else
Yes I am, thanks. I did skip my coffee before the test.
Great labs Mitch. I understand the BUN elevation, and glad to see the Cr and urine were normal. Did I miss the GFR? I can only assume it was normal also. I am 73, long term type II, weighing in at 315 lbs. and my last labs 2 Mos ago (New to carnivore at that time) were a bit concerning for incr. BUN and decr. GFR. Still 100% carnivore 2+ Mos. later. Down 45 lbs. Hoping my renal profile will improve at least a little. Am now a carnivore convert for life! Thanks for the old guy videos
She didn't order a GFR. I'll ask why next week, thanks!
Great job Mitch!
Thanks!
Brilliant video Mitch :)
Many thanks!
Right there with ya. I live off bacon and eggs. Have been for months. Lost 27 pounds and I do push-ups every day. Feel like I'm a teenager again.

We have to remember that the standard set for these tests were for people on the SAD diet. No one knows what healthy tests look like until now.
True
Thanks for sharing Mitch, I know your sodium was only 1 points low, I would try to increase that just to be on the safe side. I have had low sodium before and felt like sh*#.. It's very dangerous also.
I feel just great. These tests all have a margin of error. Thanks!
Lean masse hight responder , I’m in the same track like you ! Great news ! Happy for you excellent blood results !
Thanks!
I am amazed by all the Americans who routinely get all these blood and medical tests. As well as the paperwork. I live in Eastern Canada routine bloodwork, which is sometimes difficult to get your doctor to do. Unless looking for something due to illness or injury. I have had constant issues with doctor over cholesterol numbers. It would be so beneficial to be able to order even some of these tests. My husband believes everything our doctor tells him! He is stage 4 kidney, and I want him to eat more protein, but he is so stuck on the 'fiber veg and fruit' recommendations. Interesting information. I'm glad I opened this up. Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
My pleasure!
Your numbers look great, maybe except the TSH which is technically in range but looks a bit high - keep an eye on that.
Healthy carnivores are averaging a 350+ cholesterol marker. I think anything over a 100 will usually require a statin....by medical standards. The medical matrix for cholesterol is wrong.
I have no doubt about that!
Thank you Mitch. X
You're very welcome
Thank you Mitch
Love that
My pleasure!
I'll be going in this month. Four years ago I went carnivore and my blood tests look like I write in the results. LDL went up a little along with hdl but triglycerides went down. All other numbers are great. Glucose dropped, vldl in the teens. And I feel 40 years younger. Straight up.
Hola from Mexico, Mitch, I think I have you all beat, being an 80 year old carnivore woman. my doc last year read my blood work and said, Carla, it doesn’t get much better than this! This year she told me things looked even better than the year before. I don’t look 80 and definitely don’t feel it! I feel especially good that this Dr. found my tests stellar because she and her family are vegetarians, but she still supports what I’m doing!
I wonder if my results might change something for her and her family! Wouldn’t that be great!
Yes you DID!! 🥳LOL - we “elderly” ol’ F*rts CAN - stay healthy -with a great meal or two a day of good protein & Fat! My bloodwork comes up in a couple pf weeks - hoping my glucose has gotten better & my lipids optimized - keep up the great work! (Also 76.5🎉) 1:56
Thanks!
Good for you
Congrats on such a good report!
Thank you
The testosterone thing is very exciting, I'm only 29, but I've spent the past decade living with really low testosterone, it's been miserable. 5 months strict carnivore, I can only dream of being up in the 700s haha, ona day, one day for sure.
Cholesterol is a precursor for the synthesis of testosterone. What happens when you artificially lower cholesterol? Bingo!
May you be the father of many children. This is a Carnivore proverb of old.
