Test results have come, Endocrinologist and Renal specialists were super impressed that I stopped all diabetic and cardiovascular drugs 6 months ago. They were not interested that I went low carb, OMAD, a couple of months of eating 1 meal every other day. Over 12 months: A1c 8.2 -> 6.0 although I reckon it was lower 2-3 months ago Iron 171 -> 72 (20-300) in 2015 was 503 ALT 62 -> 27 (0-55) AST 33 -> 19 ( 98 (30-110) GGT 42 -> 14 (

Dave please do a video on all of the NMR values. It is quite confusing and there seems to be next to no unbiased info about it. My main question is on the "small LDL particle". Please make a video or a post on the cholesterol code. It would give me and my dad some real comfort just understanding his results.

Don't forget that when you're looking at lab results, the normal ranges provided represent the average +/- 2 SD of a HUGE population. Each individual has a unique NORMAL range that can be charted over a period of time, which I did for myself as a clinical lab scientist for 30+ years. E.g., my platelet count has always been below the "Normal" range of 150-450K, making it appear to be abnormal, but it has been normal for me as an individual all my life and my blood clots perfectly fine.

You really should correlate blood tests with blood types that way you will find some interesting associations and put your research miles ahead. I suggest those with coffee sensitivities are blood type O's and would explain their high TG's. Prove me wrong, I challenge you! Also blood type O's handle protein (red meat) much more effectively than A's.

Your dropping Ferritin could be due to all the blood you draw from yourself. Also, your high ferritin can be a marker for the gene for hemochromatosis.

I’m excited for and planning to sign up for blood testing @ Low Carb Houston! But I have a question maybe you could give me your thoughts. My HDL and TG are normal, but I have genetically very low LDL - I know this is indicates a higher all cause mortality. Because my inflammation is very high, I am on a statin and on EPA prescription. As a result, my LDL is falling even lower and is now about 20. Are you aware of any studies that show ways to raise LDL?

How many samples did you get so far? Were you able to also get a good range of demographic variables for analysis as well? When do you think that the first version of the statistical analysis will be available? With the key term of "Lean Mass Hyper Responders" being "lean," hopefully you will have also captured the donor's self reported or tested BF%.

The formula of LDL-C x 10 = LDL-P doesn't apply very well to me. My latest LDL-C was 244. Multiplying x 10 would give an LDL-P of 2440. As it turns out, my advanced lipoprotein test revealed an LDL-P value of only 1462 nmol/L That's much more than a 15% variation. It's closer to 40% less than Dave Feldman would anticipate.. I do feel I am "fat-adapted" with low Trigs (66 mg/dL), fairly high HDL (61 mg/dL), and low fasting insulin (4.1 uIU/mL). I typically fast for 12 hours when getting blood work done. I am a hyper-responder in that my LDL has gone up a lot now that I eat a keto/carnivore diet. A decade ago (Nov 2008) when I ate more carbs my LDL-C was about 110 and my HDL was around 32 and Trigs were 120.

During fasting out body burns muscle along with fat. Could it be the freed up iron from muscle tissue that gets stored in ferritin resulting in elevated ferritin numbers? After years of regularly consuming organs I noticed black stains on my teeth which I never had before. Google suggested it could be too much iron. I did ferrtin test and it turns out to be 680. I looked up my previous tests and ferritin was always around 200 or so. On top of that I started having persistent anterior elbow joints inflammation on both arms after brief strength exercise. I started donating blood every 6 months. Ferritin levels went down to 350. Joint inflammation slowly went away. But teeth stains continue coming back. I cut back iron-heavy organs (liver, kidney) to once every two months and totally eliminated spleen.

Studies show that you burn very little muscle during a fast and gain most back after you break the fast.

My Lp(a) is always low... 03 nmol/L or 1.34 mg/dl. Thus I think it is mostly genetically set.
@malcolmachtman4182
5 жыл бұрын
I don't think Lp(a) is entirely genetically set. About 10 years ago, when I ate a higher carb diet, my very first Lp(a) value was 32 mg/dL (which was flagged as high because the reference range is 0 - 30 mg/dL). Now that I'm eating a more keto/carnivore style, my Lp(a) is down to 10 mg/dL. My identical twin brother continues to eat a more liberal diet (carb-wise) and his Lp(a) is around 25 mg/dL. That being said, there are people with persistently very high Lp(a), or very low like Green Deane, where genetics appears to be a factor.
