Re: For My Fellow EVOO Epicurians

For the folks who live near the olive groves, you are very lucky, as it costs me about $15 to ship one bottle of olive oil across the country! That was great that Juliegee could get us a discount though! A local store does carry the "O" olive oil, but I never bought it due to it's high pri...

Re: Lipids Profile

Thanks for the new nickname! Wow, I can imagine the conversations about Dr. Perlmutter. I'll check them out. Also, unfortunately I wasn't unable to open the link you provided. (my version of a ketogenic diet) I can search around for that. That's great what you are doing and that it's working for you...

Re: Lipids Profile

Hi BerniF, thank you, it seems like we are on the right track. That's good. Yes, the more we learn the more tweaking will be necessary. I will miss certain things as well, especially when you see your spouse eat certain things! Hi Juliegee, thank you for your response. Glad that the plan is on targe...

Re: Lipids Profile

Thank you Susan. I appreciate your response. I guess I'm on the right track for now and will continue to cut down on the red meat and alcohol. I have read and reread Dr. Gundry's protocol. I've also listened to a podcast or two. I'm curious though, as per another poster, why he isn't too concerned w...

Re: Lipids Profile

Hi! Newbie here. I too have Pattern A, (21.9) thankfully, but high Large VLDL-P (3.7), high VLDL size (60.0), high LDL-P (1479), high LDL-C (153). I've read that the best way to lower the VLDL is to lower your triglycerides (my triglycerides were good at 92) by losing weight and exercising regularly...

Re: Hello Everyone!

Thank you so much Stavia and Juliegee! I appreciate it! I'm so glad that I found my way here as well. What a wealth of information you provide and all of you are very welcoming. I think I will use Promethease as well. Should be interesting, that's for sure.

Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone, It's taken me awhile to get the nerve to introduce myself, even longer to find my user name, which is Thx4thegenes, based on Bob Hope's song Thanks for the Memory! I know, I'm dating myself! I suppose it was a play on the APOE4 gene and losing your precious memories! I'm a 54 year ol...
