I posted here last November about bloodwork I had done that showed elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, indicating hypothyroidism. Of course the medical professional (RN) I was seeing at the time wanted to put me on Levothyroxine. I resisted, started taking a kelp supplement thanks to the recommendation of the good people on this board, and this year my TSH is well within the normal range. However, unfortunately, now my cholesterol numbers are high, particularly triglycerides, so if anyone has ideas how to get that under control I would appreciate the help. In any case, thanks Great Awakening! Edit to add: The doctor wants me to try diet and exercise for 3 months and then retest cholesterol. So no prescriptions for now. Again, you people are wonderful!

ITS AMINO ACIDS. First, LDL is not a marker for heart disease. Please know cholesterol is good and you need more than current "normal" levels. Its a scam. What is the fattiest organ in your body? Where is one quarter of all your cholesterol located? That's right, YOUR BRAIN. Statins = dementia. Cholesterol normally increases in menopause, in case that applies. Also, not that many years ago, 300 was an acceptable level. You need Lysine and arginine. These amino also reduce anxiety and cortisol levels too. "Bad" cholesterol is an amino acid deficiency.
But if you must, look into SYTRINOL, a natural supplement for cholesterol and triglycerides.
