So when is it time to be concerned about a high score? My score was high this wellness check. The only thing different is a switch to Lipitor. I saw it could affect the score.

Define high? How is your regularly weight lifting/exercise schedule? What about your alcohol intake?

Not an expert on this but have had issues with elevated ALT/AST in the past and strenuous exercise has a direct impact on this. In addition, alcohol plays a big role in this too.

Count was 54. Exercise needs to be better and alcohol needs to be consumed a lot less. Those are the things I am currently working on. The want to retest in 2 months so I'll see how it goes.

54 is not concerning at all but it is a good idea to trend it over time.
