Experiences with

HDL cholesterol

Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin

I was diagnosed as having a 'borderline' underactive thyroid in July 2018. Initially I was prescribed 50mcg of Levothyroxine which was then increased to 75mcg following my first set of blood tests. My following TSH test result was 3.4 and I have been taking 75mcg ever since. Over the last year I have

Hi I get a yearly cholesterol / thyroid test as my mother had high levels and took statins and thyroxine. I’ve been ‘invited’ to go back and discuss my levels with my practice nurse after this year’s test which is not unusual. Since last year I have changed my diet and lost 16lbs but the letter also

We can speculate. If rising TSH causes total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol all to rise, why is it OK for people to see their TSH allowed to reach 10.0 (or higher) before any treatment? (Of course, we also have all the questions over the real importance of cholesterol

Hi there 😊 If you have an under active thyroid can it affect your cholesterol level as I've always been fine but since being diagnosed my cholesterol level is slowly been increasing & I have now been told that I need to change my diet.

Hi, Wife has just had her annual blood test from GP which shows her cholesterol level as 5.4 mmol/L. This has been flagged as borderline and GP has recommended she goes on statins.

Hey everyone, I am type 2 diabetic and controlling it through diet and exercise. Current lab test showed HbA1c as 5.7%. In lipid profile test my LDL is 160 mg/dL and total cholesterol is 225 mg/dL.

Hi Everyone, I had problems with one statin and now on atorvastatin which seems better so far. Did have real muscle problems. When you see in the paper comments like you are imagining the pain it does not help and Im sure I was not! Have also joined the couch to 5k sport walking group which has greatly

Here they are: Triglycerides @ 3.01 LDL @ 1.1 HDL @ 0.75 Serum Cholesterol @ 3.3 I am wondering if I really need to be on 80mg of statins? Can I have roast turkey with all the trimmings or am I looking at a chili non-carne (which is pretty good) for X-Mas lunch! All feedback welcome.

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

Interestingly, what put the final nail in the coffin was a series of scientific trials on drugs which either reduce total cholesterol (statins),reduced LDL (statins and PCSK9 inhibitors), or increase HDL (statins and niacin). All of them do exactly what they say on the tin.

Hello, I've just received my latest results. The reverse T3 seems high which may cause the lack of absorbtion of my thyroid meds. I have a double mutation on DIO1 and DIO2. What are your thoughts of these results?
