[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 132383"] Bonetti, those improvements are impressive. Has it made a difference in how you feel? Years ago my lipid profile looked terrible. My Total Cholesterol was running at 308. LDL was 252, Triglycerides at 226, and HDL only 11. The doctor was all over me and told me I was about to have a massive coronary. I tried statins but they had a negative impact on my liver so I stopped taking them. So I lost a little bit of weight (about 10 lbs), started eating better (no specific diet) and began drinking a whole lot more water. I also started taking 500 mg of niacin each day. The last three blood work ups had my Total Cholesterol at 142, 144, and 138; LDL 89, 88, and 77; Triglycerides 103, 102, 95; and HDL 39, 40, and 42. I'd like to get my HDL up higher but nothing I do has moved it higher but it has moved all the way up from 11. Being on TRT probably suppresses the HDL to some extent. Thanks for sharing your story, it helped remind me of my own progress with cholesterol. [/QUOTE]
