Yes, it helped a ton. I took notes and will ask for a full panel cholesterol analysis next appt. Thankfully my HDL:triglyceride levels indicate I have low LDL-B, but it’s also genetic so I’ll have to see. Thanks :)

It's specifically LDL and the size of LDL particles that determine risk. Small LDL particles are the largest risk.

My triglycerides are 47 so that’s a good indicator that I have low LDL B

Wow, thank you guys so much! Bio is so interesting. I wish they went into this more in phys
