I’ve high cholesterol too but just the triglycerides and the good cholesterol are high. The good cholesterol I credit a decent diet and for much of my life I was a vegetarian and an avid walker. The triglycerides are high both from APs and family history. Psych meds also resulted in a chronic kidney disease. Otherwise my physical health is pretty good except for my back which is the result of avid walking and physical activity with one leg shorter than the other. Over the years though I’ve gotten the bad cholesterol as high too on certain APs and ADs, but when I quit the meds it went down. I used to take a daily vitamin and vitamin D but the need for those stopped so I stopped taking them. I used to take omega supplements too but after my stomach issues I couldn’t take them anymore. The only supplement I take now is a weekly iron pill. I only see my PCP once a year for my wellness visit and blood work. I am overweight and he’d like to see me lose the weight but not being able to walk anymore really limits me. I haven’t gotten sick in years except once in 2022 with covid. I do get all my shots though.
