Cholesterol and anabolics

[Cylon357]

I was hoping to do some lighter cycles (beginner amounts, don’t ever really intend to go to higher), but maybe I’ll just consider TRT.

To give you a sense of my lipids after diet work and exercising regularly for a year I still have high LDL (140) but I’ve managed to get HDL up to 65. It’s still high overall but a pretty good ratio.

Doc thinks that given family history without statins I could make some slight improvements but it’s likely I’m about where I’m going to plateau without no cholesterol at all diet or something severe that tbh I likely could not sustain.

If you have recent blood work, post up a screen shot. Edit out your name and what not of course. There are a lot of members more experienced with cholesterol issues than me, and the more info they have, the better responses you will get.

If you don't have recent bloods, pull a lipid panel (at least) through ultalabtests or privatemdlabs or similar. That way you know exactly where you are when you start your journey.

Wow was excited to be able to get blood tests whenever I wanted (those sites are great!) but apparently they don’t serve NY NJ RI due to state laws. Such BS.

I’m in the western New York area & plan on logging my experience with pulling bloodwork when I do it in a few months.

Probably have to drive an hour & a half to PA, but I’ve seen some in the NYC area had success with marek.

The other labs have betters prices & if you’re close enough to a state that allows it, you can get it done with buying gift cards & using an out of state address. Or so I’ve been told. We’ll see.
