Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.2% to 8.2% over 9 months.

Careful with treating an unchanged LDL-C as a failure. If ApoB and triglycerides both fell, the particle picture improved regardless of what the calculated LDL says.

Trying to work out whether my panel improved or merely rearranged itself, because two of the numbers went the wrong way.

Comprehensive lipid panel update relevant to the lipid panel:

MarkerBaseline6 Months12 MonthsReference
Total Cholesterol259204184<200
LDL154139104<100
HDL475461>40
Triglycerides279194104<150
LDL-P16991249949<1000

The triglyceride drop is the most impressive. My cardiologist reduced my statin dose based on these results.

Before/after bloodwork compilation for the lipid panel — everything in one place for those who want comprehensive data:

CategoryMarkerBeforeAfter 14moChange
MetabolicA1C7.8%5.6%⬇️ 2.0%
MetabolicFasting Glucose11991⬇️ 29
LipidsLDL15296⬇️ 54
LipidsTriglycerides254109⬇️ 104
InflammationhsCRP7.51.2⬇️ 5.0

Every single metabolic marker improved. This is why I'm a believer in this therapy.

Following on from VanRx_Mike — and this may be the naive question:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

Reporting back.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
