Death by lab work

Olivia writes:

Hey Robb and Nicki! Long time listener and strong endorser of the work y'all are doing. I wish more people and healthcare providers were on the same page, or hell even in the same book as this community! ANYWAY....I recently got my labs done and I have some concerns on the results I received. For context: I am a 30 y/o female, no kids, work out 3-4 x week (mostly weight training and average 8-10K steps per day) I work as a nurse, tend to focus my meals around 30g or more of protein (red meat, chicken, dairy, eggs, I eat it all), and drink plenty of water and LMNT :), avoid seed oils and other ultra processed garbage. I went through some hormone issues for 5-7 years (i.e very infrequent cycle due to too much exercising and under fueling). Since then, I have become so much more educated and I have recovered my cycle *naturally*; gaining probably 30-40 ish pounds from my low; currently sitting at 155 5'6. I feel great, but these lab results got me shook! Any and all advice welcome.

Total Cholesterol- 282

Triglycerides- 43

Non HDL- 169

HDL- 113

ApoA to ApoB- 0.41

ApoB- 113

Liver enzymes AST and ALT- slightly elevated

Total T3 - 68 all other thyroid values "normal"

Fasting BGL- 95

A1C- 5.0

Am I destined for an early death related to heart disease?? I've listened to Huberman on blood glucose control and will implement his ideas to lower my fasting number, but it's hard to eat my last meal 2-3 hours before bed on days I work since I get home at 8. I hope this isn't too long of question, feel free to cut out anything you'd rather not discuss and just give general guidelines. THANK YOU!!!

Stay salty,

Olivia
