Hi! I just got my labs drawn yesterday and I was hoping some of you would look these over. I started initiating Ray Peat stuff over the last 1 year (i.e. increasing carbs, replacing with saturated fats, protein, etc) These are not fasting labs and my cholesterol still seems kind of low. It has actually decreased since last year besides the triglycerides (but again I wasn’t fasting this time) even though I have increased saturated fats. I would think they should be raising my cholesterol if anything. For backstory: I came from low carb, “Mark Hyman” style diet with lots of Omegas and stuff. Now I eat mostly fruit, starches, animal protein, milk, OJ, gelatin, butter, coconut oil. I still eat out sometimes so haven’t been able to limit pufa completely. I feel pretty good overall. My hands and feet used to be freezing and now they are so warm. I was taking thyroid for a bit this spring to warm me up in the colder months but started feeling too hot and have not been taking any thyroid. I now take saturee liver/oyster supplements, methylene Blue, 1500 I.U vitamin D, K2, and vitamin A. Any insight on my labs for things I can improve?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
