Andrew, did you take any supplements - like vitamins, Co Q 10 etc - to achieve your results? Today the doc said he wanted me on medication, and like you I said I want to try other methods first - recommended methods online seem to be diet, exercise and supplements!

In your case, you really had to change to get this under control. Now you're normal. (Well, at least as far at the cholseterol goes. Otherwise, you seem pretty normal from half way around the world.) Keep up the great work and keep sharing! Thanks, Jeff Andrew — you are a true model of the values of a healthy lifestyle. In your case, you really had to change to get this under control.

I'm so glad you posted your numbers so we can all see the difference "lifestyle changes" can make!! I'm very curious now about my numbers -- cholesterol once tested very high and doctor wanted to talk meds, but as I was still a potentially pregnant woman, she suggested -- get this, it was soooo radical I almost could not believe she said these things to me!! -- MODIFIED DIET and EXERCISE. She wanted me to stop with the fry-bread and have more oatmeal and "go for some walks, get outside and walk around more". :) Who knew my doctor could be so right??? hahaha! Again, congrats on the numbers -- way to go!!! Wow — Andrew, this is amazing! I’m so glad you posted your numbers so we can all see the difference “lifestyle changes” can make!!

The flip side is my genetic tendency towards high blood pressure. Not that my old lifestyle helped. But after getting with the program I'm pleased to report that my BP meds have been cut in half, and I am totally off all of my diabetes meds. The bottom line, as you found out, is that it's all about the lifestyle. Congratulations!!

Congrats on the numbers, it looks great! And yes, exercise is astoundingly addictive. At one point in time I was gym-phobic. The thought of running on the treadmill was not appealing to me. But now, If I don't make it my three times a week, I get cranky and feel nasty. And most of the time, i would like to go more! That is awesome! Congrats on the numbers, it looks great!
