Episode 79: When your doctor tells you that your "Cholesterol is high" on your ketogenic diet and what all those numbers really mean!

In this episode Jessica responds to listeners questions about being told that their cholesterol numbers are high while they are on a keto diet and specifically addresses a client who is concerned about their most recent test scores.  

How do you know what all those numbers mean and how to talk with your doctor when you feel amazing, but they are telling you that you need to stop eating meat, fat and cholesterol?!  

Here is a quick reference range for your basic lipid panel: 

(provided by Dr. Sinatra - 40 years as a cardiologists and author of The Cholesterol Myth)

Total cholesterol level: 180–240 mg/dL

HDL cholesterol levels: 40–90 mg/dL for women; 35–90 mg/dL for men

LDL cholesterol level: 80–130 mg/dL

Triglyceride level: 50–100 mg/dL
