Cholesterol Levels Dropped from 6.2 to 5.1 in 8 Weeks!

Well the results are back!

Today I received my results from my blood test.

You may remember my post two weeks ago:-
Hashimotos and the Start of my Health Journey

Approximately 8 weeks ago I took my regular 3 monthly check up with the doctor to check my TSH levels and monitor my cholesterol levels. After the blood test that followed my TSH levels were as normal but my cholesterol levels were sky high.

I hit a crazy 6.2 and certainly was not expecting that at all. I'm 34 with a young family so the thought of having a high cholesterol level and putting myself at risk of heart disease was a shock. Ive had generally high levels for a while due to my thyroid and the medication but never 6.2.

My doctor gave me a script for cholesterol medication and told me that dieting and exercise wont make any significant difference to my levels and that I need to take the medication.

All this news came at about the time that I started using a new nutritional porduct and I had heard that people had reduced their cholesterol levels using this method so I thought, no, I wont take the medication and I'll give the product a try and see how I go.

Well I had hoped for a drop in my levels but not as low as this.

I dropped from 6.2 to 5.1. A full point!

I was on cloud nine and even the nurse who gave me the results said to me "what are you doing".

I cant wait to see my doctor next time to give her the full story. Its a great feeling when you can prove your doctor wrong and have the tests to prove it. Fantastic!

I shared my news with my father who is also using the same products and he mentioned that his doctor cut his cholesterol medication down as well due to his levels dropping significantly.

Great news all round.

Now im looking forward to seeing further improvements to my health, hopefully a posative change to my thyroid!

I wonder if it will make me commit to exercise lol.
