My LDL is 77mg/dl, but my HDL is 187mg/dl. My Dr says I should lower it by avoiding junk food and exercising, which I found amusing given my diet and lifestyle. Is this geniunely a problem?

dd99 said:Thanks, haidut, very helpful! How much biotin? Energin has 1mg per 40 drops and I take 5 to 20 a day, so max 0.5mg.

But unless you are eating whole foods (ie shells of eggs and prawns, and including collagen/gristle to balance muscle meat), I'd guess your diet may be low in calcium and gelatine. Adequate amounts of both of these can help counter stress.
