Cave Chick,
I had a similar experience. My overall bloodwork, according to my
doctor,
was cause for concern because total cholesteral was 300. But the
breakdown
was:
HDL: 99 (up about 50 points)
LDL: 200 (up about 50 points)
Trig: 29 (down about 40 points)
The doctor would only focus on the LDL number. My doctor also
suggested
(almost demanded) that I begin a high carb diet which I will not do.
I feel
"alive" for the first time in a long time.
You'll probably feel better if you check the archives for Tod Moody's
reply.
It is very informative.
I also live in NYC but am unaware of any paleo-friendly doctor.
I hope this helps.
Laura

I just had had my yearly physical and am concerned about my bloodwork:
Total Cholesteral: 247 (this rose 41 points!)
HDL: 91 (this dropped 2 points)
LDL: 149 (this rose 49 points!)
Triglycerides: 36 (this dropped 30 points)
I am really concerned about the bad cholesteral going so much higher.
I've
been eating much more oily fish -- I thought this was supposed to
help.
Any thoughts??? Also, any paleos know of any paleo friendly doctors
in the
NYC area? My doctor is insisting I see his nutritionist to get on a
"high
carb low fat regime) to bring my cholesteral down. There is no way I
will
do this but would appreciate any thoughts you all might have.
