I believe this is to a large degree why we seek doctors like Dr. Cucuzella.

Interesting you should mention him, as I have an appointment with him Monday to determine whether a physician in Martinsburg, WV can be my primary care physician. My current PCP is prone to use the cardiac risk calculator which takes into account BP, age, total cholesterol, and HDL and has not budged since I went strict low carb. I'd like to know I have a knowledgeable physician as a collaborator who can accurately interpret an NMR Lipid Panel rather then caution me that I'm wasting my money on this test. He's just over an hour away from my home, but it's worth it if I can see someone who understands the power of lifestyle changes and is able to interpret health markers accurately.

Edited to correct my appointment day.
