Either he’s a genetic freak, or there really is something to the low-carb-slash-paleo diet thing. Either way, the man is extremely healthy. The numbers don’t lie.

As far as I know, I don’t get LDL size pattern results.
I had one doctor who wanted to put me on statins. I got a new doctor.

That’s not a particularly great profile.
Mine:
Total – 208
LDL – 117
HDL – 75
Trig – 78
His:
Total – 204
LDL – 116
HDL – 68
Trig – 64
Optimal:
Total – less than 200
LDL – less than 100
HDL – greater than 40
Trig – less than 150
In both cases, HDL is high and Triglycerides low (good), but LDL and total are higher than optimal, albeit not high-risk.

The LDL size pattern is more important than total LDL numbers.
His are pattern “A”, the good kind. What’s yours? Also, what are your triglycerides?

Oops, sorry. There’s the triglycerides right there.
