Lowering LDL and raising HDL

[Lullabytreehugger]

Have you looked into adipotide or cardarine? Just started reading about them

Cardarine was initially developed in 1992 by Ligand Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as a metabolic agent with potential anti-cancer, anti-obesity and cardiovascular applications. Phase I trials of cardarine for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia began in 2000 followed by phase I/II in 2002. Further development of cardarine was abandoned in 2007 for safety reasons when preclinical toxicology showed that it caused various cancers

Anecdotally, someone's dad would eat a big bowl of oatmeal daily for a couple weeks before his blood tests and it meaningfully lowered his cholesterol so his doctor wouldn't bitch at him. And there is some proof that oatmeal lowers cholesterol, as any box of Cheerios will boast.

For me, my total cholesterol was at 245, then statins lowered it to 217. Tirz lowered it to 149.
LDL started at 159, statins 136, after tirz it was 64. I thought surely they must have gotten my sample mixed up with someone else's.

My HDL had a modest increase: started at 63, after statins 65, after tirz 67.

Not bad for a hot dog.

I did some research a few years back and made this plan for a partner, which did lower his LDL after a few months. It’s not a clinically-tested comprehensive regimen, but all parts are based loosely on academic studies.

Habits for Cholesterol Health:

A. Supplements

1. Omega 3 (2g total)
• 1/2 T cod liver oil = 1.5g
• 2 Krill oil caps = 0.25g
• 2 Fish oil caps = 0.6g
• Total = 2.35g
*I prefer more krill and less fish oil caps, but he had Costco fish oil at home
2. Flushing Niacin (2g)
3. Psyllium grounds (2T/10g)

B. Nutrition

1. 6 servings of fish per week (ideally salmon/ sardine/ mackerel)
2. 5 salads with 3+ avocados per week
*salads aren’t essential but he preferred the ease of throwing the fish, eggs, avo, into a big salad for OMAD
3. 12-18 eggs per week

C. Workouts (Weekly)

1. 150-300bmin Zone 2 cardio
2. Bonus: 3-5hr strength training

**Update 1: steel cut oatmeal may help, and you can easily throw the psyllium husk powder into this.

***Update 2: Berberine may help to supplement, but I’m not sure the impact if you’re established on GLP-1s and living insulin controlled?

Salmon salad with avocado sounds delish
