yes. It takes me 3 months to show significant level changes. The reason being that this is the space I have to wait to take a new blood test. @maggie25.
@loyd1957 eat more fish. Stop eating "white" things like bread and rice and switch to brown and whole grains. I don't think you'll have any problem changing your numbers. Add some exercise in to be sure and you'll see change.
I don't know if high cholesterol effects bones. that is a new one on me! I took nutritional chemistry in college. It could be that high cholesterol makes people out of shape and exercise less. and that is bad on bones!

I have done much of that already but doesn't seem to make a difference. It changes with ebb and flow. I wish it were as simple as diet and exercise. I feel with most people it is, but some it is just genetics. My father died at 47 from CAD - coronary artery disease in 1973 before surgeries and medicines. He did smoke which I feel is more of a wreckage on arteries. Will keep trying to do what I can do at 68 and maybe the Repatha will help.
