Who to listen to. High LDL. Low HDL.
Dr Fuhrman says "vegetarian, no dairy, but nuts, avocado, fish oil good. Dr Estellstyn who helped President Clinton says "no meat or dairy nuts avocados or oil" Dr Mercola says " fats are good, fish is good, build up HDL. I read you don't need HDL when your LDL is reduced. Confused ...what to do

Got my blood test results and was pleasantly surprised.
I got my blood test back and only 3 things were out of normal range, this being Calcium(higher than normal by .2), Albumin(higher by .1), and my HDL cholesterol (lower than normal by 4) but other than those everything was in the normal category. If anyone were to know are any of these a real cause for

Waste of time
Saw my GP today as I'm due for a medication review. Told him that on 50mcg Levothyroxine for 6 months, I have noticed no improvements in my symptoms. He insists that at 4.1 my TSH is within the normal range. When I observed that some schools of thought think TSH should be less than 1, he laughed and

Any thoughts/advice on my results?
Main symptoms are Fatigue, weight gain, lack of concentration & drive. Nearly all bloods are “in range” so for docs nothing wrong with me, so went back for more detailed bloods to research myself and ask for help and advice from others who have more of a clue! Not on any thyroid meds as doctors all
