Anyone have low cholesterol or know about it?

[origami]

DH & I just got our physicals and we both have low cholesterol. Low LDL and low total cholesterol. Normal HDL. Is that something to be concerned about? I know zero things about cholesterol. This isn't nature telling me to eat more Burger King, right? That wouldn't be the appropriate response to this information?



@dr Megan Heimer, JD, NHT, ND, MD, BA, Yoga certified - maybe you could advise me what tinctures and yoga positions would fix me.



In all seriousness if this means I need to add something to my diet I'd like to know. Especially if it's onion rings

I read somewhere once that there might be a correlation between low cholesterol and depression.

Since we all know nothing on the internet can be wrong, I recommend you start Prozac RIGHT NOW.

I think you mean St. John's wort.

I think it is a symptom of ebola.

I'm two credits into a botanical medicine degree. I say you eat some flowers and call me in the morning!

It's not good. I'm not sure why, ha!

Exercise and avocados and oily fish will help increase your HDL.

And why didn't the doctor or nurse discuss your results with you?

You need statins.

my HDL is normal though. I'm not sure why my Dr's office didn't say anything. They called and said the results were normal and then sent the results in the mail and it shows we're low (in LDL & total). Maybe I should be more concerned that they can't read lab results?

I can't read! I've never heard of LDL being low enough it's a problem?

You can ask to have some sprinkled on your fries!  Unfortunately, under Obamacare, this means your fries will cost $75, unless you have already hit your $12,500 deductible.
