My LIPID PANEL Should I be concerned?

[Painjunky]

Hi everyone, should these numbers concern me? In shape , train regularly,
Test only trt . (stay well below upper range 750ish)
LDL and total has been above range for years but this is as high as its ever been. I could definitely clean up my eating as well as take some supplements to help. Researching high cholesterol has left me more confused on the subject.
Gonna do a coronary calcium scan soon .

TOTAL CHOLESTEROL

220 H
Reference Range: <200mg/dL

HDL CHOLESTEROL

62
Reference Range: > OR = 40 mg/dL

LDL-CHOLESTEROL

135 H
mg/dL (calc)
Reference range: <100

NON HDL CHOLESTEROL

158 H
Reference Range: <130mg/dL (calc)

IMO, no., you should not be concerned except to try to get trigs down a little bit. But you should always look for ways to increase your heart health. As far as cholesterol goes, other things are far more important, such as avoiding blood sugar spikes and keeping fasting insulin down. I strongly recommend the book "The Clot Thickens" by Dr. Malcom Kendrick.

Remember, any blood test is just a snapshot of what’s going on RIGHT THEN….yes, your HDL / TG Ratio could be better, but the rest looks pretty good to me (provided your other metabolic health markers are good).

A. Since you didn't get your particles checked, I would just go with the old rule 60 HDL 60 LDL and 60 triglycerides
