In celebration of summer coming to an end and me preaching Vitamin D into the Fall, I thought it was only fair to share my own numbers. Every year, each of you should get a Lipid Panel (cholesterol), Fasting Glucose (diabetes) & Vitamin D Panel (sunlight/seattle) done at your MD's office. Insurance pays for it and it matters to know where you stand health-wise on a cellular level. If you dont have insurance, I offer wholesale lab pricing and can get your labs pulled here at Crave Health for cheap.
So here are my own personal labs from June of 2011:
Lipid Panel
Total Cholesterol: 171
(Healthy Range = Less than 200)
Triglycerides: 80
(Healthy Range = 40-149)
HDL (Happy Cholesterol): 55
(Healthy Range = Greater than 40)
LDL (Lousy Cholesterol): 100
(Healthy Range = Less than 129)
Diabetes
Fasting Glucose: 78
(Healthy Range = 65-99)
Vitamin D Panel
Vitamin D 25OH: 40
(Healthy Range = 30-100)
**Now this is NOT to brag, its just to show you that I have to work hard to maintain my own health as well. I take 5000 IU's of Vitamin D per day to get that vitamin D level up, I work out 3-4 times per week, I take my multivitamin every day and I eat heart healthy fats like nuts and fish to keep my cholesterol low. Does that mean I eat perfectly? No. I still love pizza, wine, chips and salsa, etc. I just try to keep it balanced. At least its nice to know your dietitian is healthy though, right?!
Bring your labs in for an appt and Ill show you how to get them back into the healthy ranges through food, not medicine.
