Bloodwork at 1 Year page

[PrimalFocus]

Hi,

I know that folks around here like to use blood work over time as one of the success markers for this way of living. Here are my results over the course of one year (targets in parentheses, some are CW targets from the lab results):

I've been maintaining a 45 pound weight loss during this time.

November 2010

HDL (35-55): 82
LDL (<130): 89
Trig (<200): 88
Total (<200): 189
Total/HDL (Ideal is <5): 2.3
Trig/HDL (Ideal is <2): 1.1
LDL/HDL (Ideal is <4.3): 1.1
Vitamin D (50–80 ng/mL): 56 [Supplement 2,500 IU D3 daily.]
Cardio CRP (<3.0): 1.1 [Significant drop attributed to leaving a highly stressful job situation over 5 months ago.]
HGBA1C (<5.3): 5.6

March 2010

HDL (35-55): 92
LDL (<130): 88
Trig (<200): 89
Total (<200): 198
Total/HDL (Ideal is <5): 2.2
Trig/HDL (Ideal is <2): 1.0
LDL/HDL (Ideal is <4.3): 1.0
Vitamin D (50–80 ng/mL): 55
Cardio CRP (<3.0): 3.1
HGBA1C (<5.3): 5.6

September 2009 [Taken just before I started with PB.]

HDL (35-55): 67
LDL (<130): 68
Trig (<200): 120
Total (<200): 159

Wow - very impressive! I hope my numbers are this great. I get tested next week.

Congratulations, PF! And good on you w/ leaving the stressful job; that took a lot of courage.

Thanks for the kind words. There are still a couple of numbers I would like to see change (lower HGBA1C and higher Vitamin D).
