Patient lost 17 pounds
- Fasting glucose and A1C came down into normal range.
- Lipid profile, including total, HDL, LDL and VLDL cholesterol improved (without statin medication)
- Coronary risk has been reduced
- Thyroid function starting to improve
- Platelets coming up
- Creatine Kinase (an indicator for the muscle breakdown common in statin use) has begun to come down
