Why is your cholesterol still high—even when you eat healthy, exercise, and fast? High cholesterol is not always just about food. Genetics, insulin resistance, thyroid function, liver metabolism, stress, sleep, medications, and even the type of fats in your diet can all influence LDL and triglycerides. Intermittent fasting can be helpful for some people, but longer fasting is not automatically better. If your cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood sugar remain elevated despite a healthy lifestyle, it may be time to look deeper at markers such as **ApoB, Lp(a), HbA1c, fasting insulin, thyroid function, and liver health**. The goal is not simply to restrict more—it is to understand **why your numbers are high** and create a plan that fits your individual metabolic pattern. 📖 Read our latest blog to learn more about the possible drivers behind stubborn cholesterol levels. #HighCholesterol #CholesterolHealth #FunctionalMedicine #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #ThyroidHealth #IntermittentFasting #HeartHealth #ApoB #LpA #HealthyLifestyle
