"First of all, I see a functional dietitian. Following a strict diet, regular exercise, and taking magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, I was able to drop 20 lbs in a year. My starting cholesterol was 315 and with a low-fat, no seed oil, higher protein diet, I was able to get my cholesterol down to 235. My LDL-C was 170. CA score of 165.
