I'm still under educated when it comes to cholesterol and bringing my numbers down. My numbers are not bad but I could bring my LDL's down. I just do not want to go on synthetics and my doctor is pushing it on me. I told him I would bring my numbers down. He told me to stop eating eggs and coconut based foods. For about 5 years I have always tried to reason with him about my coconut intake. He is old school and unfortunately I can not just go out and get a new doctor with my insurance plan.
Here are my numbers and I'm well aware you are not allowed to diagnose but I do have questions in regards to NK and how to take it properly. I did order the Arthur Andrew Supplement and for the last week have been taking 3 capsules about an hour after taking my thyroid prescription.
- HDL: 97
- LDL: 112
- VLDL: 8
- TRIGLYCERIDES: 47
- TOTAL CHOLESTEROL : 242
I'm curious how one should take the supplements. Roughly 3 equal the amount needed for NK to work, so does one take these all at once, or can it be divided throughout the day?
It also seems taking high doses all at once can upset the intestines, which is not fun. I'm also wondering, when it suggests taking on an empty stomach, how long one needs to wait to eat.
Since my cholesterol is high, it has affected my TSH (5.82) and its out of range and so is my Glucose levels (103).
My Endo upped my Armour Thyroid from 30mg to 45mg 3 times a week to try and normalize it.
I need to take my Armour Thyroid on an empty stomach and wait an hour before consuming foods.
My confusion really is, since I cant take NK with other supplements/prescriptions, and need to take on an empty stomach, I need to go about 2 hours after waking to not eat?? It's already overkill waiting an hour.
My other question is, how long does one take NK for? Do you stop taking high doses once your numbers go down, or stop taking for a period of time or is this like taking medication that you need to take them every day to maintain?
Armour Thyroid is the only prescription medication I am on.
I do take an array of other supplements including a high quality fish oil.
I do have one more question and below, I will recap them so they don't get lost in my message post.
Thank You!
- If you are taking 3 NK supplements to equal about 10,000 FU, do you take them all at once or can it be divided?
- How long to wait to eat or take medication after taking doses of NK?
- How long does one take NK for?
- Do you need to change your diet completely like give up eggs. I mean eggs with yolk.
