Comprehensive lipid panel update relevant to the lipid panel:
| Marker | Baseline | 6 Months | 12 Months | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 232 | 197 | 177 | <200 |
| LDL | 147 | 117 | 97 | <100 |
| HDL | 40 | 47 | 54 | >40 |
| Triglycerides | 252 | 147 | 97 | <150 |
| LDL-P | 1452 | 1102 | 852 | <1000 |
The triglyceride drop is the most impressive. My cardiologist reduced my statin dose based on these results.
One thing that is still open after Dr.SurgeonPGH’s answer:
How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

Before/after bloodwork compilation for the lipid panel — everything in one place for those who want comprehensive data:
| Category | Marker | Before | After 13mo | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metabolic | A1C | 8.0% | 5.5% | ⬇️ 1.2% |
| Metabolic | Fasting Glucose | 125 | 90 | ⬇️ 35 |
| Lipids | LDL | 173 | 102 | ⬇️ 45 |
| Lipids | Triglycerides | 245 | 115 | ⬇️ 95 |
| Inflammation | hsCRP | 6.5 | 0.8 | ⬇️ 5.0 |
Every single metabolic marker improved. This is why I'm a believer in this therapy.

Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.4% to 8.9% over 13 months. I supplemented with 2g EPA+DHA daily.
This matters because omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective, complementing the GLP-1 benefits. Target omega-3 index is >8%. Combined with the triglyceride reduction from the medication, my lipid profile is the best it's been in decades.

Agreed on the substance. I would put less weight on the timescale, because two months of anything is not enough to distinguish a trend from a wobble.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.
