My lp (a) is < 10. But my lp (b) is 141. So much to learn and understand. In 3 months of hard work with a modified food plan I created, A1C is down .4 from 6.7 to 6.3. HDL is 43 (up 3 pts from 40). Triglycerides 287 down 102 pts. from 389. LDL up 10 pts. from 152 to 162. At the time of the May 31 blood test, I weighed 197. I was 207 on Jan. 1. I had a second blood work up on Sept. 6. (extensive with 33 vials of blood). It showed my insulin was off the charts at 30.8 should be < 18. I've learned so much since the early Sept. blood tests. And my weight has dropped from 194 to 184 in 30 days. I can tell after eating a restricted pristine whole food meal if I feel groggy that my body is pumping insulin and the cells are resisting it. So smaller meal is better. And with the doctor podcasts I am learning that intermittent fasting will trick the sluggish fatty liver into burning the fat in the liver. YES. this had been my question - how to clean fat out of the liver. I have to be careful because I also had a Ct scan of the heart and discovered I have an electrical problem in heart (SVT) with an irregular heart beat and some plague in carotid arteries and some calefied vessels but not life threatening.
I AM DETERMINED TO CLEAN UP MY BODY WITHOUT DRUGS.
BY UNDERSTANDING MY METABOLISM AND INFLAMMATION, i BELIEVE i CAN AND WILL STAY ON THIS STRICT LIFE ALTERING FOOD PLAN AND REACH HEALTHY LEVELS.

My primary doctor is clueless. I had a holistic dr check many things my doctor would never think of. They are all stuck on checking standard lipid panels and focused on statins AND eat a low fat diet and exercise. I refuse to take statins. I've spent weeks researching the root causes of my steatosis that showed up on a pulmonary Ct scan and the pulmonary dr. never mentioned the liver or the atrophied thyroid. If i hadn't read the cat scan, I'd never have known, and I thanked the dr. who interpreted the Cat scan ex rays. It focused me into researching endless studies and listening to doctor owned podcast . Dr. Ken Berry. Dr. Bikman, Dr. Philip Ovadia, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Khan. So grateful for the insights and knowledge from taking a lot of time educating myself. This is what will keep me vigilant.
