I voluntarily got a wide range of blood tests, having been on a #paleo diet for about 8 months.
every single marker is off the charts in the **good** direction (including LDL particle size, a1c, various insulin resistance markers, HDL, Triglycerides, etc etc.) _EXCEPT_ for "total cholesterol", which is comically high. I have a clean CAC scan.
I am a fit and healthy person, eating an evolutionarily-approproate diet, sleeping well, exercising, feeling great, and most measurements modern medicine uses say "good", but this one says "we should get you on lifelong statins ASAP!".
...you tell me what's actually broken here, my metabolism or the yardstick!
