I've observed that blood lipid markers and LDL (bad) cholesterol readings do not represent the profile of a low carb or keto eater; therefore, they do not qualify as valid health markers for certain dietary profiles. In this video, Doug Reynolds of Low Carb USA speaks about exactly that. What are your thoughts? Do you agree?

I've been wrestling with physicians for all of 2019 and it's not over yet. My husband has had a chronic illness diagnosed by a top endocrinologist, and over the years our doctor had crafted a regimen with us. But he retired late last year, and it's been a circus since.
They won't fill this prescription, or that one, and then make demands he can't possibly fulfill, like being barely able to walk and them wanting him to show up at the office when he's like that.
I know even my low carb increased my total cholesterol and that alone is a hurdle we'll both jump.
Now on our third doctor's office but this might be a keeper: he is Keto Positive!
