I figured out that the food pyramid is to be turned upside down and eat two meals a day.

No sugar/starch low carbohydrate diet and the weight comes off, triglycerides fall in range, HDL goes up and blood sugar drops and life is good.
Thanks to keto and intermittent fasting I brought my triglycerides down to 81 from 210 in under six months. My a1c also dropped from 5.8 to 5.1 and dropped 35 pounds. Love these results!
I take a slab of salmon, cook it until 3/4 done, let it cool, cut it up into 5, vacuum pack them, and freeze them. Make a large pot of 12 ingredient vegetable soup. Then every day I take out a salmon portion, heat it, heat up a large bowl of vegetable soup, place the salmon in bottom of the bowl and add the boiling soup to it. Eat this every day. I lost weight and lowered my triglycerides. When I run out of salmon I will substitute with diced chicken, beef, or pork.

65 yo male. My triglycerides have been as high as 2500. I have been on Keto since Jan 1, having lost from 200 to 185. Before I started Keto my triglycerides were 750. Yesterday they were measured at 1055. Even though I lost 15+ pounds my triglycerides went up 300 pts. I have been struggling with this since discovery in my early 30s. My plan at this point is to reduce portion size on Keto and implement intermittent fasting.
Let me tell you what helps me: 1- Walking every day, 30-60 minutes. Taking fish oil. Taking niacin. Staying away from sugar. Eating twice a day. No snacking. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits like apples, blueberries, and red cabbage. Sitting too much is not recommended.
So here's the gist of it. I'm 20, very lean and muscular carnivore for 4-5 months, eat 4-5 eggs a day, minced beef, hamburgers ,cheese, salmon. Fasting 19-18 hours a day, 2 meals no calorie restriction. BUT, I like to cheat every Saturday night. I'll have pizza, cookies, chocolate, energy drinks. I know it's baaad but I kinda like it, you know just a moment off, just a night a week. Could cheating occasionally like I do raise my thryglices so high that I could get heart disease or something like plaque in the arteries?
I am currently following these methods. I just spoke with dietician and she suggested also adding more high fiber veggies to diet to reduce triglyceride. As for sleep, i've noticed breathing exercises before sleep with no tv on has helped me stau sleep through the night.
In 2003, I began a lifestyle change. My triglycerides were 495 beforehand. Within 3 months, I had lost a lottle weight but substantially improved my bloodwork numbers. Almost 20 years later (age 69), my tri's have crept up again. Watching your video helped explain why. Thanks!
My triglycerides gone down a lot since I lost a lot of weight but still high. I need to stop eating sugary and processed foods. And start exercising again.
Thanks for the video. I am going to try to implement some of these tips. I eliminated alcohol several years ago and I get plenty of sleep. I need to try to incorporate MCT oil into my diet, eat more fish and reduce sugar. Thanks again.
Helle Maam, I just finnished watching your video. 😊 I search for this matter because I have found out I have a high triglyceride level. Thank you for this information it is very usefull.
My weakness was flavored coffee creamer. One week after cutting that out I felt better. And my bloating was greatly reduced. It got me motivated to go farther with my diet changes.
Lol I’m way way higher than that.I know not funny. It was a huge number. I’ve been following your suggestions. I’ll bet some mct oil. Hey what do I have to lose. 4 yrs ago I thought I was relatively healthy. Then I got hit with a trifecta. Blood clot, kidney disease and kidney damage. Last year I was diagnosed heart problems and cancer. So kemo was started this year. Now this year diabetes, pancreatice and super high triglycerides. Diet was a no brained. I’m 5’10” and was 250# I already lost 25 lbs.before I started watching your videos.
My triglyceride levels are about 2000 it scared me to death to hear this!! My Doctor said it was genetic or familial Then I find out I am diabetic also so I know where you are comeing from. The weird things is I haven't ate red meat or pork in about 35 years!! But I do believe threw diet I can control it. You have my prayers for your health issues. I am in my 60s and have seen health issues really ramp up in the last few years. Good Luck to you 🦋
I was regularly active but now usually am. Left whole grains for refined carbs due to phytates. Hardly eat junk food but my tri were 160. Now completely gave up grains and fill the void with bananas. Can't wait to see tri results
Yup I'm here because my Triglycerides was 999. I think the lab I deal with just stops counting at 999 so who knows what they actually are. I'm an active average build "healthy looking" guy. Everything you said in your vid to do or change I've been doing the opposite up until now. Thanks for the video!
Fish oil was a game changer for me. Combining daily fish oil and weight loss dropped mine from a high of 2300 to 200. I try to get the most potent available off the shelf and take 4 a day. I look for the highest Omega3 amount too. I think it helps with joint pain too. I feel better at 58 than I did at 38.

Thank you for your valuable advise, however,I don’t drink alchohol, and don’t eat processed food,,, always cook fresh, With olive oil, butter or coconut oil, and since last blood test, my tryglyceride has increased from 144 to 244 but my HDL is the same as last blood test, 89. The only thing I think I may be doing wrong , is having once or twice a week , red meat. Any suggestions? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hopefully one day there will be a explaination about genetic versus acquired high cholesterol. My Dr said its genetic and all the measures taken as sugested by knowledgeable professionals is of no help so here you go please take lipotor. That drug made me quite ill. So now I have to put up with the guilt trip because Im not a cooperative patient. Surely high levels all of ones life is to be studied apart from the acquired version. To me there seems to be a hole in the theories. cholesterol
@@mysoulworld8618 Hi. Im 66. My cholesterol is 9.9. Which is what its been all along. My Dr mumble something about tryglicerides but I dont know the numbers.
So I began making some changes to my diet and activity. I started in December 2021. I weighed 252 Lbs. my total cholesterol was 247, HDL 44, LDL 169, Triglycerides 172. I started eating healthier, and working out regularly. As of today, my weight is down to. 236. I just had my latest lipid test yesterday and my total cholesterol is down to 226, HDL 40, LDL lowered to 144, but my Triglycerides went up to 212. I’m so confused as to why. I feel a lot healthier and I feel like I’ve been improving my lifestyle. I really liked your video, but was curious on your thoughts as to why they may have gone up. I do enjoy a glass of wine a few days a week, but I’m not a big drinker. I really don’t eat “sugary” snacks. My breakfast is usually plain oatmeal with some protein powder mixed in. I have a follow up with my Dr, but I’m just trying to do mu own research. By the way, I’m a 45 year old male.
Almost exact same situation. I lost 20 pounds from eating a lot healthier (no sugar, no gluten) and my triglyceride levels sky rocketed from 90’s to 257. Still don’t understand why that happened and neither does my doctor. Any luck on your research?
Oatmeal will raise your blood sugar. If you are using any sugar free foods check label for maltodextrin , its worse than sugar. And check your protein shake for maltodextrin , whey protein could turn to sugar.
Likely all these tips work but I only use one. For the last 30 years I've eaten a very low carb diet. I allow myself 12 net carbs per day. Net carbs are sugars. My triglycerides are between 45 and 60 and currently my hdl is at 80. I put these levels down to my low carb diet and nothing else that I do. Your triglycerides are a direct result of the amount of sugars you consume but even whole grains and fruit will raise those levels.
Careful with MCT... Good fats but you have to burn them very fast or it does not let you lose weight. Take fish oil instead and watch your triglycerides drop like a rock
I really like your factual, unpretentious, real advice for women. I’ve been binging your vids lately because I got diagnosed with pcos recently, and so far I really like your approach. I would love to see some exercise routine updates and research!
I'm not overweight , so I thought eating unhealthy wouldn't affect my cholesterol levels...I was wrong! In October it was 6.5mmol/L 😮. My triglycerides were very low though, thankfully. I've been eating very healthy, lots of veggies, fruit, potatoes, oats etc and have managed to reduce it to 4.1mmol/L, which I'm delighted with. My partner has always eaten very healthy and luckily has high HDL 1.6mmol/L, but his triglycerides are above the recommendation limit. Here in the UK the normal range is 0 to 1.6, but his was 1.9. We were both very surprised, but have since found out it's caused by his medication. It just seems so unfair
My triglycerides were not high before I went on keto last August (76) but by my annual physical in January I had lowered them to 56 while raising my HDL from 41 to 76 which made my important trig./HDL ratio 0.74 when under 2 is good. So I'm good with it.
I've learned the hard way that carnivore/keto doesn't always help cholesterol. There are those of us with a genetic mutation that completely change everything. I was an active alcoholic that ate lean meat, a lot of starches, and plenty of carbs. My Tris and HDL were in the normal range. A strict carnivore for a few months and then keto saw my tris quadruple. Not everyone processes fatty meat the same. This is something people should be aware of before blindly following what they see on the internet.
@@CryptoLTP5 I abandoned carnivore and went back to lean meats. I eat some carbs like potatoes and beans, but not processed crap. I take Nordic Naturals Omega-3 every day. All this combined saw my levels drop significantly. I'm still a little high, but that's genetic. No matter how I ate, how much I exercised, etc., I've had slightly elevated Tris/HDL since the first time I was tested, so I'm not concerned with levels hovering around the high point. I refuse to take a statin because it's terrible for testosterone, something else the Dr's don't tell you when they try to force pills on you the second your cholesterol isn't in their range.
As you mentioned about the blue light effect it has on you from your devices, I have the app on my devices already installed and so I set mine to on mode 24/7, minus -1 minute because you have to allow one minute in the 24-hour period that the blocker is not on for the 24-hour timer to be reset, so I set mine for beginning at 3:00 a.m. and it turns off at 2:59 a.m. and turns back on one minute later and stays on the entire 24 hours minus one minute therefore I don't get exposed to any blue light on my devices at all because the blocker is always on. So the use of blue blocker eyeglasses or anything else is unnecessary. and if you don't have a blue blocker app already comes installed on the device then install one (they also come under the name, Night Light) and use it the way I do So if you turn it on and set it to the highest setting in the red zone and you won't have any blue light at all, therefore no interference to your circadian rhythm, or to sleep, or any other adverse effect it causes.
I have done all of the things you suggested except the sleep one, plus I have jumped in with both feet to carnivore. I’ll have my 3mth bloods done in about 10 days so it will be interesting to see if it has worked. I had already reduced my triglycerides in the previous 3 months by going harder on the keto.
Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos! This one in particular was exactly what I was looking for. Item #1 has never been a problem for me, but I can definitely work on improving items #2 thru #5.
Just got lab results yesterday. I improved my A1c for 6.5 to 5.8 and improved my triglycerides from 154 to 147 but the doctor was worried that my LDL increased. How does that work? I’ve been doing keto/carnivore
I am a 40yr old Male and just got a wellness test and my triglycerides are reported at 1650... My DR has me on a very strict diet and as well medication. I would prefer to do it naturally, I am curious of the MCT Oil/ Powder
My triglyceride level is 216 mg/DL could you recommend any best herbs to lower the levels back to normal my fasting glucose went up from 105 mg/DL to 116 mg/DL both the triglyceride and fasting parameters are very high that I need to lower to normal asap!! I got addicted to swiss and polish chocolates consuming about 200g of those per day also was consuming high carbohydrate food like pasta,bread,biryani and was even unknowingly taking expired cod liver fish oil softgels everything leading to abnormal unhealthy high levels of triglycerides and fasting glucose level fortunately the blood test was an eye opener revealing how terrible my health condition was to take action to get those unhealthy levels back to normal
I just got my results back 610 they give me medication but I do not want to take it should I I'm vegetarian and I do not want to take those pills and I want to do it the natural way 😊
Man I’m only slightly overweight, have triglyceride and cholesterol values in the high 300s. Same goes for my ALT and AST , literally 5x the high range. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t drink sugary drinks like soda and don’t eat crazy amounts of food. I seriously don’t understand I’m 24 year old male who doesn’t eat a ton of carbs. I guess it’s time to increase my 1 mile run to 5 miles a day and to only eat oatmeal. I’ve tried everything and haven’t been able to make any progress
You promised to share the reason which is rare for higher triglycerides along with higher HDL. I take fish oil supplements daily and I have higher HDL and higher triglycerides as well.
I am doing everything you mentioned in the video and will be having my 3 year ketoversary in May. Last months blood results triglycerides 180, Cholesterol 227, HDL & VLDL were fine and LDL CHOLESTEROL 119. I take no meds at a healthy weight and really enjoy the keto lifestyle for maintaining my weight. I did have BPC the morning of my test, could this have made the results high?
I can’t hear all these exeperts with their “studies”. A lot of it is a BS. I’m eating and living healthy, no alcohol at all literally zero, only water, exercising, normal BMI, and still have high triglycerides since few years. Now mid 40’s. There are so many reasons why you might have them and it’s for everyone a different one. If it would be that general and easy to understand a human body then there wouldn’t be deceases at all.

One correction, HDL & LDL are not cholesterol's. They are lipid proteins that carry different size cholesterols
Second correction, where she says 'sugar' replace with 'carbs'. Carbs are quickly converted to glucose after we eat.

Been on keto for 2.5 yrs and was concerned about my numbers. (Don't like seeing my HDL go down, can't figure out) Help!!
Just received my results. I think I'm going in the right direction.
Chol was: 324....now 278
Trig was: 117.....now 81
HDL was: 96.......now 90
VLDL was: 17.....now 13
LDL was: 205.....now 175
T.Chol/HDL Ratio
was: 3.4....now 3.1
Everything seems to be trending the right way! The difference in HDL is not huge so and still in the healthy range!
What kind of fat you're consuming?
@@marjn1030 hi. I use olive oil, butter and cheeses I love!
I am going in a few weeks and will see if any changes. I am trying to lighten up on keto and just eat Less carbs, under 20 to 25g per day & very little to none sugar . That may show as a change in numbers since watching not to over do on fats. Will see in next test...
Stopped eating bread and pasta, triglycerides went from 250 to 73 in two months.
I’ve fought with high cholesterol and specifically high triglycerides my entire life. Recently had a heart attack and had one stent put in. I just discovered your channel and I’m hoping your suggestions will help.
What’s your age & how are you now . Putting stent is major ?? After that life will be easier ??

By seeing your MCT oil benefit in this video my total cholesterol jumped up to 240 from 180, the triglyceride also started running up from 115.
It doesn’t have to be fish oil. Algae oil with DHA and EPA is also a good option for Omega 3s.
You are the real deal..your info is spot only..u present your info in a simple way. Thank u
You were great on Dexter 😊
65 yo male. My triglycerides have been as high as 2500. I have been on Keto since Jan 1, having lost from 200 to 185. Before I started Keto my triglycerides were 750. Yesterday they were measured at 1055. Even though I lost 15+ pounds my triglycerides went up 300 pts.
I have been struggling with this since discovery in my early 30s.
My plan at this point is to reduce portion size on Keto and implement intermittent fasting.
Let me tell you what helps me: 1- Walking every day, 30-60 minutes. Taking fish oil. Taking niacin. Staying away from sugar. Eating twice a day. No snacking. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits like apples, blueberries, and red cabbage. Sitting too much is not recommended.
You may have FCS Familial chylomicronemia syndrome.
Wow! Kait is a pro in health, communication and positivity.
🥰🥰
Do you have high triglycerides? Were you able to lower them?
I eat around a kilogram of salmon each week... I also work out at the gym every other day.. Am I eating too much salmon?
Not so far, diet hasn't helped now trying intermittent fasting for 16 will see how that goes.
I had high triglycerides level of 200 and reduced it to 95 in 8 months by 18-6 IF and LCHF
@@amarsingh2767 how ??
Yes they are showing a decrease. I’m told by my doctors.
IF, improved sleep and got off sugar. Tris went way down!
🙏🙏
I am going to follow these tips too
So here's the gist of it. I'm 20, very lean and muscular carnivore for 4-5 months, eat 4-5 eggs a day, minced beef, hamburgers ,cheese, salmon. Fasting 19-18 hours a day, 2 meals no calorie restriction. BUT, I like to cheat every Saturday night. I'll have pizza, cookies, chocolate, energy drinks. I know it's baaad but I kinda like it, you know just a moment off, just a night a week. Could cheating occasionally like I do raise my thryglices so high that I could get heart disease or something like plaque in the arteries?
I am currently following these methods. I just spoke with dietician and she suggested also adding more high fiber veggies to diet to reduce triglyceride.
As for sleep, i've noticed breathing exercises before sleep with no tv on has helped me stau sleep through the night.
In 2003, I began a lifestyle change. My triglycerides were 495 beforehand. Within 3 months, I had lost a lottle weight but substantially improved my bloodwork numbers. Almost 20 years later (age 69), my tri's have crept up again. Watching your video helped explain why. Thanks!
My triglycerides gone down a lot since I lost a lot of weight but still high. I need to stop eating sugary and processed foods. And start exercising again.
My triglycerides is 1500 i want to healty now thanks for your videos and keep spirit all who's have high triglyceride. We can do it
🙏🙏
How are you did it work. I have read somewhere to eat all of garlic, turmrric and so on
@@Starlight11249 i'm help with medicine too because too high.. wish u healthy
How are uh now ?? Did it reduced?
@@happy2share803 yes it reduce if i eat medicine and sport :)
Thanks for the video. I am going to try to implement some of these tips. I eliminated alcohol several years ago and I get plenty of sleep. I need to try to incorporate MCT oil into my diet, eat more fish and reduce sugar.
Thanks again.
Helle Maam, I just finnished watching your video. 😊 I search for this matter because I have found out I have a high triglyceride level. Thank you for this information it is very usefull.
My weakness was flavored coffee creamer. One week after cutting that out I felt better. And my bloating was greatly reduced. It got me motivated to go farther with my diet changes.
Just got my labs back, triglycerides are at 650. My doctor hasn’t bother to call so I am googling what it is. I have to call them tomorrow morning
I did all except the first two. Alcohol has never really been an issue for me. I didn't use MCT oil itself but did consume foods that have it in them.
Lol I’m way way higher than that.I know not funny. It was a huge number. I’ve been following your suggestions. I’ll bet some mct oil. Hey what do I have to lose. 4 yrs ago I thought I was relatively healthy. Then I got hit with a trifecta. Blood clot, kidney disease and kidney damage. Last year I was diagnosed heart problems and cancer. So kemo was started this year. Now this year diabetes, pancreatice and super high triglycerides. Diet was a no brained. I’m 5’10” and was 250# I already lost 25 lbs.before I started watching your videos.
Keep up the good work.
Wishing you all the best on yoru journey to better health! 🙏
@@HealthCoachKait thank you. My triglycerides dropped from 2990 to 1184 in the last weeks how this really does help a lot!
My triglyceride levels are about 2000 it scared me to death to hear this!! My Doctor said it was genetic or familial Then I find out I am diabetic also so I know where you are comeing from. The weird things is I haven't ate red meat or pork in about 35 years!! But I do believe threw diet I can control it. You have my prayers for your health issues. I am in my 60s and have seen health issues really ramp up in the last few years. Good Luck to you 🦋
I was regularly active but now usually am. Left whole grains for refined carbs due to phytates. Hardly eat junk food but my tri were 160. Now completely gave up grains and fill the void with bananas. Can't wait to see tri results
Yup I'm here because my Triglycerides was 999. I think the lab I deal with just stops counting at 999 so who knows what they actually are. I'm an active average build "healthy looking" guy. Everything you said in your vid to do or change I've been doing the opposite up until now. Thanks for the video!

I drink alot of beer. Its from sugar im told. 500. Up and down forever. Starting a shot of evoo every morning. I eat well
Fish oil was a game changer for me. Combining daily fish oil and weight loss dropped mine from a high of 2300 to 200. I try to get the most potent available off the shelf and take 4 a day. I look for the highest Omega3 amount too. I think it helps with joint pain too. I feel better at 58 than I did at 38.
maybe i'll start popping 4 a day then

With olive oil, butter or coconut oil, and since last blood test, my tryglyceride has increased from 144 to 244 but my HDL is the same as last blood test, 89. The only thing I think I may be doing wrong , is having once or twice a week , red meat. Any suggestions? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My triglyceride is 484. Genetic though. I have to take astorvastatin 10 mg.
Hopefully one day there will be a explaination about genetic versus acquired high cholesterol. My Dr said its genetic and all the measures taken as sugested by knowledgeable professionals is of no help so here you go please take lipotor. That drug made me quite ill. So now I have to put up with the guilt trip because Im not a cooperative patient. Surely high levels all of ones life is to be studied apart from the acquired version.

@@rachelheyth3645 how is ur healthy diet plan any issues regarding about health
So I began making some changes to my diet and activity. I started in December 2021. I weighed 252 Lbs. my total cholesterol was 247, HDL 44, LDL 169, Triglycerides 172. I started eating healthier, and working out regularly. As of today, my weight is down to. 236. I just had my latest lipid test yesterday and my total cholesterol is down to 226, HDL 40, LDL lowered to 144, but my Triglycerides went up to 212. I’m so confused as to why. I feel a lot healthier and I feel like I’ve been improving my lifestyle. I really liked your video, but was curious on your thoughts as to why they may have gone up. I do enjoy a glass of wine a few days a week, but I’m not a big drinker. I really don’t eat “sugary” snacks. My breakfast is usually plain oatmeal with some protein powder mixed in. I have a follow up with my Dr, but I’m just trying to do mu own research. By the way, I’m a 45 year old male.
Almost exact same situation. I lost 20 pounds from eating a lot healthier (no sugar, no gluten) and my triglyceride levels sky rocketed from 90’s to 257. Still don’t understand why that happened and neither does my doctor. Any luck on your research?
@@myrague Check your stress level
Oatmeal will raise your blood sugar. If you are using any sugar free foods check label for maltodextrin , its worse than sugar. And check your protein shake for maltodextrin , whey protein could turn to sugar.
Ill try a whole fish. Probably choke but if cant eat again fir many days, i can see it working. Gotta read between the lines.
Thanks for sharing this information about health care ❤
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Likely all these tips work but I only use one. For the last 30 years I've eaten a very low carb diet. I allow myself 12 net carbs per day. Net carbs are sugars. My triglycerides are between 45 and 60 and currently my hdl is at 80. I put these levels down to my low carb diet and nothing else that I do. Your triglycerides are a direct result of the amount of sugars you consume but even whole grains and fruit will raise those levels.
Careful with MCT... Good fats but you have to burn them very fast or it does not let you lose weight. Take fish oil instead and watch your triglycerides drop like a rock
MCTs cant be stored as fat so this isn’t true.
I really like your factual, unpretentious, real advice for women. I’ve been binging your vids lately because I got diagnosed with pcos recently, and so far I really like your approach. I would love to see some exercise routine updates and research!

I'm not overweight , so I thought eating unhealthy wouldn't affect my cholesterol levels...I was wrong! In October it was 6.5mmol/L 😮. My triglycerides were very low though, thankfully. I've been eating very healthy, lots of veggies, fruit, potatoes, oats etc and have managed to reduce it to 4.1mmol/L, which I'm delighted with. My partner has always eaten very healthy and luckily has high HDL 1.6mmol/L, but his triglycerides are above the recommendation limit. Here in the UK the normal range is 0 to 1.6, but his was 1.9. We were both very surprised, but have since found out it's caused by his medication. It just seems so unfair
Excellent presentation 😊
My triglycerides were not high before I went on keto last August (76) but by my annual physical in January I had lowered them to 56 while raising my HDL from 41 to 76 which made my important trig./HDL ratio 0.74 when under 2 is good. So I'm good with it.
Awesome! 👏

I was on the keto diet and it didn't work
Thanks coach! It's better to maintain a TG/HDL ratio of 1.5 or less, to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
I've learned the hard way that carnivore/keto doesn't always help cholesterol. There are those of us with a genetic mutation that completely change everything. I was an active alcoholic that ate lean meat, a lot of starches, and plenty of carbs. My Tris and HDL were in the normal range. A strict carnivore for a few months and then keto saw my tris quadruple. Not everyone processes fatty meat the same. This is something people should be aware of before blindly following what they see on the internet.
What do you do now? I’m in that situation as well
@@CryptoLTP5 I abandoned carnivore and went back to lean meats. I eat some carbs like potatoes and beans, but not processed crap. I take Nordic Naturals Omega-3 every day. All this combined saw my levels drop significantly. I'm still a little high, but that's genetic. No matter how I ate, how much I exercised, etc., I've had slightly elevated Tris/HDL since the first time I was tested, so I'm not concerned with levels hovering around the high point. I refuse to take a statin because it's terrible for testosterone, something else the Dr's don't tell you when they try to force pills on you the second your cholesterol isn't in their range.
I need to focus on getting more sleep.
My triglycride was 4.55.i took some steps and after 1month without medicine i reduce it now it is just 0.96.

As you mentioned about the blue light effect it has on you from your devices, I have the app on my devices already installed and so I set mine to on mode 24/7, minus -1 minute because you have to allow one minute in the 24-hour period that the blocker is not on for the 24-hour timer to be reset, so I set mine for beginning at 3:00 a.m. and it turns off at 2:59 a.m. and turns back on one minute later and stays on the entire 24 hours minus one minute therefore I don't get exposed to any blue light on my devices at all because the blocker is always on. So the use of blue blocker eyeglasses or anything else is unnecessary.
and if you don't have a blue blocker app already comes installed on the device then install one (they also come under the name, Night Light) and use it the way I do So if you turn it on and set it to the highest setting in the red zone and you won't have any blue light at all, therefore no interference to your circadian rhythm, or to sleep, or any other adverse effect it causes.
I shared this on Facebook. Can I used avocado oil rather than coconut oil.
Yes, just make sure it is a high quality avocado oil as cheaper brands are often blended with other oils.
My triglycerides went from 178 to 36 in 8 months of whole food keto.
I have done all of the things you suggested except the sleep one, plus I have jumped in with both feet to carnivore. I’ll have my 3mth bloods done in about 10 days so it will be interesting to see if it has worked. I had already reduced my triglycerides in the previous 3 months by going harder on the keto.

I am a 40yr old Male and just got a wellness test and my triglycerides are reported at 1650... My DR has me on a very strict diet and as well medication. I would prefer to do it naturally, I am curious of the MCT Oil/ Powder
My triglyceride level is 216 mg/DL could you recommend any best herbs to lower the levels back to normal my fasting glucose went up from 105 mg/DL to 116 mg/DL both the triglyceride and fasting parameters are very high that I need to lower to normal asap!! I got addicted to swiss and polish chocolates consuming about 200g of those per day also was consuming high carbohydrate food like pasta,bread,biryani and was even unknowingly taking expired cod liver fish oil softgels everything leading to abnormal unhealthy high levels of triglycerides and fasting glucose level fortunately the blood test was an eye opener revealing how terrible my health condition was to take action to get those unhealthy levels back to normal
I just got my results back 610 they give me medication but I do not want to take it should I I'm vegetarian and I do not want to take those pills and I want to do it the natural way 😊

Alcohol is alcohol (it’s a 4th macronutrient). I am referring to alcohol which is in all of the above.
Lower carb drinks are going to be better for blood sugar and insulin resistance, but it is the alcohol itself that can increase triglycerides.
