    Cut all carbs and fruits except berries and avocado. Go hard on leafy greens, nuts, seeds, roots, and fish. Intermittent fast for 20 hours, eat in the 4 hours. In those 20 fasting hours, drink green tea, black coffee and water. Excersize in the morning on empty stomach. I suggest 12 pm - 4 pm for eating, and 4 pm - 12 pm for fasting.

    Life is sometimes unfair like that. My mom has been the one that's always been so careful about salt and sugar and fat and she suddenly got diabetes in middle age. My dad and I aren't exactly living on fruity pebbles and mountain dew, but it's fair to say we're not nearly as careful.

    Unfortunately genetics plays a role and sometimes it’s just hereditary. I know more people that died from lung cancer that never smoked cigarettes in their life..

    Your mom will be okay and live a long life, just has to keep everything in check.

    Enjoy every day with your parents, lost both mine years ago and life just isn’t the same anymore without them.

    I'm sorry to hear that, I know that must have been difficult. She is doing well, it happened many years ago and she has been keeping it under control. We suspect it is in fact hereditary on her side of the family, my aunt also got it a few years later, also completely out of nowhere.

    Statins are chemically the same as red yeast rice (RYR), synthetic RYR. Problem is most doctors and NP's know it but won't tell you. I took half a dose for 4 weeks and it dropped my LDL (bad) from 151 to 94 with 2 months between blood tests. A good book is The Great Cholesterol Myth by Bowden and Sinatra, MD. Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease -and The Statin Free Plan That Will.

    Research suggest that eggs doesn't impact your cholesterol as negatively as other things do. Eggs are one thing, especially if eating egg whites. Egg whites are good for you. Fatty beef, pork, and dairy products are the problems.

    100 isn't bad at all..in fact it's way better than mine was. I had to get medication. Mine was out of control for a bit. It's somewhat normal now, but I'm still working to get it lower as I have a diet with an emphasis on plants and grains.
