One egg has 270MG of cholesterol, but my total cholesterol is 235.... I eat the eggs for the choline and liver health .... Does dietary cholesterol increase it overall ?

No doubt, I am aware ... Only thing left for me to try is Thyroid... But debating NDT or just T4/T3 combo ...i think that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol levels, which are more heavily controlled by things such as liver function, cortisol levels and thyroid health. At least that's what bro-science told me.
Triglycerides have been 457 and sky high for five years, never checked for plaque .... TSH has been low to mid ones for last few years.... T4 and T3 have all been in range ... Testosterone has remained at 460 last few yearsB vitamins (eg, B2 and B4) and other nutrients clear/normalize. Fiber also.
What were the other results, as they are more important? LDL, HDL, VLDL, sdLDL, triglycerides, HbA1c, hs-CRP, TSH, T4, T3, and most importantly oxLDL? Ever checked for arterial plaque or calcification?

Have you ever looked into genetic testing? Know your apoE version? Maybe you are apoE 2, unless you are clear why they are high.Triglycerides have been 457 and sky high for five years, never checked for plaque .... TSH has been low to mid ones for last few years....

So, people with high total and ldl cholesterol should not eat food with cholesterol like eggs and shrimps?Same thing for women.
Increases in Dietary Cholesterol Are Associated With Modest Increases in Both LDL and HDL Cholesterol in Healthy Young Women
We studied the effects of dietary cholesterol intake on lipid and lipoprotein levels in healthy young women (n = 13) who were otherwise eating an American Heart Association (AHA) diet. The study used a randomized, three-way crossover design to determine ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
if i were to lower my cholesterol level independently of my thyroid function i'd lower my fat intake/cholesterol intake and include some form of soluble fiber in my diet, like one serving of black beans or oatmeal.So, people with high total and ldl cholesterol should not eat food with cholesterol like eggs and shrimps?
Thank you very much!if i were to lower my cholesterol level independently of my thyroid function i'd lower my fat intake/cholesterol intake and include some form of soluble fiber in my diet, like one serving of black beans or oatmeal.
if you're overweight your lipids will improve when you lose weight, which i would do via a small caloric deficit of say 100-200 kcal and upping my protein intake and lowering fat.
you can have very good thyroid function, but if your daily diet consists of two whole coconuts your cholesterol will be elevated. period. that's just my opinion tho.
Really hoping I don’t get pushed down the statins route.
from the evidence i have seen dietary sugar will only lead to increase in liver cholesterol in amounts of around 100g of fructose and higher. that is a shitload of sugar so i don't think you have to worry although i would personally focus an approach of starch+low/very low fat.Thank you very much!
Yeah, it does seem that fat increases cholesterol so I have transitioned to a lower fat diet. I actually upped my fruits and juice to replace fat. However, I recently read a quote from Ray saying replacing starch with fruit and juice and sugar will increase cholesterol. So now I’m so confused
And yes, I’m technically obese, but small deficits are not making a dent in my weight
I’ll be adding a serving of well cooked oatmeal now. Really hoping I don’t get pushed down the statins route.
Oh really? Thanks for this info!from the evidence i have seen dietary sugar will only lead to increase in liver cholesterol in amounts of around 100g of fructose and higher. that is a shitload of sugar so i don't think you have to worry although i would personally focus an approach of starch+low/very low fat.
someone more knowledgable chimed in. i would definitely listen to that masterjohn podcast. good luck
Thank you! I will give it a listen this afternoon, but as much as I remember from listening to masterjohn on other podcasts, he recommends lowering insulin resistance by going low carb first?Show Notes for “What to Do About High Cholesterol”
In this episode, you will find all of the following and more:
00:33 Cliff notes
09:22 Targeting the low-hanging fruit
11:50 The total-to-HDL-C ratio as a fingerprint of low LDL receptor activity
13:20 Other markers such as particle size, particle count, and ApoB as fingerprints of low LDL receptor activity
16:30 The four factors that control the LDL receptor
18:50 Intracellular free cholesterol (effects of dietary fiber, cholestyramine, statins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs)
20:37 Thyroid hormone (effects of micronutrients, body fat, and carbohydrate intake)
23:50 Insulin (via PCSK9, effects of the fasting-feeding cycle and carbohydrate intake)
27:00 Inflammation (via PCSK9, effects of acute infection and chronic inflammation)
29:15 Practical approaches to maximizing LDL receptor activity
29:22 Nutrient-dense whole food diets
34:00 Thyroid disorder
37:15 Adrenal stress, circadian stress, inflammatory stress
39:05 Insulin resistance, body composition, and fatty liver disease
42:00 Weight loss will improve insulin sensitivity, and for many a low-carb diet is a tool to achieve that, but in an insulin-sensitive person, carbohydrate stimulation of insulin has a powerful beneficial effect on LDL receptor activity
46:20 Inflammation and PCSK9
47:00 C-Reactive Protein levels, body composition, diet quality, and exercise
49:25 Replacing fat with carbohydrate
These are good too.Thank you! I will give it a listen this afternoon, but as much as I remember from listening to masterjohn on other podcasts, he recommends lowering insulin resistance by going low carb first?
