I just had a full panel run, and everything came back on the lower side of the “ideal” range except my cholesterol and triglycerides , which were slightly (~15%) over the recommended range.
I am currently taking ZERO prescriptions, but the quack instantly wanted to put me on statins. Having read about these treatments I declined, and asked her why she would immediately go to drugs rather than simple lifestyle or diet changes.
She had no answer.
People wonder why folks like me avoid doctors, well there’s one reason.
Good for you! I don’t blame you a bit. My doctor tried to get me to take statins too, but I refused.
A panel tells you nothing. You need a scan of your arteries to look for calcification.
