Three straight days of being right around 121/84.

Really questioning the doctor who just threw those meds at me and didn't even mention getting active to see if that changes anything. One month of moderate exercise has brought it down tremendously. Kinda glad I didn't start those meds.

Dude. Those general doctors are effing quacks. Flat out.

I went on a bulk and went from 164 pounds up to 240 over the course of almost two years. I was lifting heavy, and putting weights on the bar.

I went to see a doc, and yeah, my cholesterol, glucose, BP were all high. Immediately, she went..."we need to think about a statin and some other medication...yada yada).

First I went....well, before we do that...lets do a calcium heart scan to see if I actually have any build up. (My idea, not hers, it came back zero). Second, I said, Give me 3 months to cut. This was all by design to put on some muscle mass.

Dropped from 240 to 207 in 4 months. (Now Im down to 196 and look awesome and can still lift okay...not super heavy). I walked into the doc, got my blook work done...ALL markers back within normal range.

I fired that doctor. The medical system (at least the low end, I have alot of respect for the high end specialists) can get effed.

Long way of saying. Right on man! You have the right idea.

Just so you're aware, your understanding of a coronary calcium score as you described it does not reflect an accurate risk stratification.

Not saying you needed to be on a statin, but studies show anytime your cholesterol gets above a certain range, you are building plaque (usually non calcified plaque that will not show up on a calcium scan).

I know. But its better than nothing. (And higher cholesterol does not automatically mean there is plaque either...There are even subsets within LDL of what is considered "bad" plus triglycerides). Point being. Diet and exercise for me knocked all of it back down to normal levels without the need for medications.

I understand that not alot of people would drop now 45 pounds in 6 months without the use of ozympic and the like, but still.

Goodness.....
