Re: Eztemibe reduced LDL but not ApoB
Hi everyone, I thought I would update my post since my recent lab test results show I finally decreased my ApoB to 80 (from 125 in March). Hooray! My LDL also dropped further from 192 in March to 102 recently. I guess my body just took a while to adjust to the Ezetimibe. Good news! I can't answer y...

Re: Why Krill Oil Beats Fish Oil
NordicMyst Krill Oil has 110 mg DHA -- not much of an improvement...kayakmac08 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:00 pm Has anyone found a krill oil supplement that contains more than 80mg of DHA per serving? Even with the improved bioavailability of krill oil, I wonder if the dose is still so low that it doesn't win you much?

Would be interested to hear anyone's thoughts. https://www.lipid.org/media/journalclub/selaspeaks04/ Fantastic talk, thanks for sharing, anonna. I w...

Re: Interesting talk by Dr. Kellyanne Niotis on APOE4, lipidology, and preventive neurology
I am no expert in this area but have heard about plant sterols before. From what I understand, Sisterol levels are from plant sterols. Examples include avocados, nuts and seeds. There are two main genes to review: ABCG5 and ABCG8. Did your doctor mention changing your diet at all before trying a dr...

Re: Why Krill Oil Beats Fish Oil
I recently started looking into krill oil and discovered that most formulations contain sorbitol. Sorbitol might not be as safe as once thought. Anyone have a recommendation of krill oil without sorbitol? Thanks, Brian As far as I can tell, Kirkland Signature Krill Oil does not contain sorbitol.

Re: High energy expenditure and APOE 4
My problem with weight is the opposite. I am 5'6" and have weighed around 123 pounds since college (I'm 59). I lost 5 pounds during a bout of food poisoning while traveling in February, dropping me down to 118. I didn't really think it was a big deal, assuming the weight would return to my set...

Re: Fasting and insulin resistance
Hi Jan18, Valter Longo talks about this phenomenon. Are you fasting in the mornings? He recommends that you eat breakfast and fast in the evenings instead. Or, skip lunch. The good thing is that your lab result will return to normal when you begin eating breakfast, according to Longo. Hi Plumster, ...

Re: Fasting and insulin resistance
I just had labs done with Mark Hyman's Function Health program. I've gotten some of the results back at Quest, but I'm still awaiting the official report, which will take a few more weeks. I was shocked to find my insulin at 15 when I regularly fast a minimum of 16 hours and some days up to 22. I a...

Re: I am very confused on the proper diet to follow due to conflicting info
On one hand I read to follow the Mediterranean diet. But then the Bredesen protocol says to stay away from the staples of the Mediterranean diet like beans and grains. I am so frustrated at this point. Also, is there a test to determine which foods are causing inflammation? Thank you all so much fo...
