Debating a blood test this week


(John) #1

I’ve been very strict keto for a month. Lost about 14 lbs. Feel amazing. It’s cut my drinking down significantly bc I’m generally happier so I don’t need to guzzle beers all the time to tolerate things.

Anyway- just did a BP test yesterday and was 113/78. Now I want to do a nmr lipid test. (I never had high BP, however).

I was looking at the request a test website and it looks like it’s just $99. I’d like to get this info before I try to explain what the heck I’m doing to a doctor.

I was aiming for Thursday or Friday so I was thinking that Mon-Wed just be good solid high fat keto days. (Which my days usually are anyway but sometimes protein can creep up higher). Based off Dave Feldmans work.

Any thoughts or ideas about this? Am I missing anything?

Sadly I had no baseline other than 4 years ago I had no cholesterol problem. Ha. So that means nothing.

I’m about 5’ 11" and now 204lbs. Exercise daily.
