I take the concentrated K with vitamin d.

I only started about a month ago after Conservative made a post about it.

I’m hoping that that will increase my HDL above it current 48. But have to say I have never broken 50 with HDL. And I have been off the carbs sugars and bad fats for a couple years now.

So there has to be genetic component to it.

For example I’ve read about with very high ldl levels who were in great shape because their hdl levels were very high too.

My understanding currently is that what’s important is the ratio betwee hdl and ldl. You want to get them close to 1:1 or 2:1 if you can.

I crestor for a statin—not so much because it lowers ldl but because it lowers inflammation.

What I have read in

I avoid statins because they deplete co q10 and the body needs sufficient cholesterol to coat nerves, etc. LDL is not “bad” - Gid made it for your body to use.

Also, if you’ve not read his story carefully, note what happened when he stopped statins.

Best.
