High Cholesteral and being overweight
My doctors has notified me that after my recent blood tests my cholesterol level is a little high at 5. I am about 3 stone overweight and am going to WW but never seem to loose much. Am unable to run ( running (or jogging) is my preferred excercise) because I've had a tumble and damaged my knee. Can't

Holding off statins challenge 🙄
Hi...happy new year🥰 My annual check showed my nhs cholesterol level at 13 whatever that means but should be under 10 so I said I will seriously try to lower this myself as statins buggered my leg muscles up. Given me 6 months and if not lower suggest I try a different one, which I really don’t want

Introducing myself
I have only been dabbling in fasting a couple of weeks, but am seeking like minded souls for support. I am a menopausal woman. I had a health scare in January (I haven't decided whether I want to share that detail yet) and was discharged in May by my consultant who advised me on a few lifestyle changes

New Year, Less Flab
Well, it's that time of year when we'll all be making New Year resolutions (and then promptly forgetting about them :) ). There's been an upsurge in posts concerning low-carb (LCHF) recently, so if you're thinking of giving this a go after your holiday indulgences, herewith a short FAQ ... and a bit

Recent folate & B12 results: Serum Folate 11.2 ug/L (normal range 3.4 - 12.2). B12 434 ng/L (normal range 211 - 911). 9 days before these results ferritin level test was shown as low: 21 ug/L (normal range 22 - 322). What can I infer from these figures? I don’t know if I should hope for average numbers

Why have triglycerides gone up?
Hi, I've worked really hard to lose weight and lower my cholesterol, naturally. My numbers are improving, but my triglycerides have gone up. Why would that happen?

Please help interpret my blood test results
Hi, I'm new here. Please help me interpret my blood test results. What I show is all that was tested for thyroid each time, so direct month to month analysis is not always possible. I take 60 mg of Armour Thyroid every morning. All these blood draws were done after taking it in the morning as I didn't
