LDL Cholesterol Context
- LDL cholesterol levels alone don't fully indicate cardiovascular risk.
- The ratio of small, dense LDL (bad) to large, fluffy LDL particles matters more, and can be estimated by the triglyceride to HDL ratio.
Bloodwork Analysis
- Get blood work analyzed by a qualified professional, not just a GP.
- Seek personalized reference ranges for optimal health, not just population norms.
Blood Marker Insights
- Many common blood markers like ALT, AST, and vitamin D can reveal insights into your health.
- Understanding vitamin D synthesis and factors influencing levels is crucial for proper supplementation.
