Can You Have Too Much Good Cholesterol (HDL Cholesterol)?

[@MajdMD]

Do you have an HDL over 60? Share it with us. Mine is 108! (As you may have heard in the video, not sure if it’s quite a good thing)

[@jzen1455]

Last time I had it checked 2 years ago, my HDL was 100. LDL 85. Tri 72. I eat a meat heavy diet and do powerlifting. I know it's the 'good' cholesterol, but I've always wondered if you can too much of a good thing. Seems 40-60 HDL is the optimal range then? I think the cause of the high HDL should be taken into consideration. I've read that alcohol can elevate HDL and lower LDL while physical activity elevates both LDL and HDL. Particle count and size are also strongly correlated with cardiovascular disease but rarely ever checked.

Majd MD i have a high dhl is 83.99 and my ldl is 170.36 what should i do pls help,

[@missmiller7829]

Mine was recently 101 but historically over 70 for the past 20 years! My triglycerides are in the high range too. My LDL was moderately high making My total 280 so my new PA wants to put me on statins.

[@fauzengaspar7428]

Maam I have HDL 122 Triglycerides 198

[@janispaquette6055]

My HDL 103, Tri 52, LDL 93, VLDL 10. I can't find any info on how to reduce it! I am at normal weight, Ketogenic diet. Just had it redone and now my HDL is 127! Help!

[@Bb-k4gd]

I had HDL of 126 but my bad colesterol high too by 20. My Dr told me it was great and the fact that my good one was high was helping the and balancing the bad.

[@helenmontecillo7621]

I'm 65 years old. Weighing 64kgs Just got my labtest. HDL is 75 LDL is 75.4 TRIGLYCERIDES is 101.9 TOTAL CHOLESTEROL is 170.5 FBS is 89.35 My corcern is my HDL if it is good. Hope to hear any advice. Thank you❤

[@gholbertshc]

My hdl is 142. Ldl 90, triglycerides 40 something. No one seems concerned. 53 year old female. HDL seems to inch up each year.

[@mrsmdub75]

I am 45 yr old woman and my HDL lab results just came back at 203! Of course my LDL is normal. I was told to exercise to lower HDL. I’m stumped as that’s confusing. I’m not over weight and never had any kind of health issues. What do you suggest when HDL is that high, will exercising really help with that?

[@jzen1455]

From all that I have read, physical activity increases HDL. Are you a marathon runner or engage in lots of physical activity almost everyday? I've also read that alcohol tends to raise HDL and lower LDL. Do you drink a lot of alcohol?

[@mrsmdub75]

@@jzen1455 Actually neither, my job is sedentary and sit 7-9 everyday. I do not exercise in a regular schedule and alcohol is occasional only. Maybe once every other month. So yes this really is strange to me. I know that for my entire life when I cook, I always remove all the fat off meat and skin off chicken. Try to eat as much vegetables and always use online oil when cooking.

[@amyk6028]

Yep. That HDL is a little high. I have been eating strict Keto for over 2 yrs and my HDL slowly climbs every year. Mine is 133 but both my Triglycerides and LDL is in the 80’s. BP 110/70 and normal weight with a BMI of 22. I’m not gonna stress but I do think my HDL is high. I would be a lot more worried if any of my other blood work was out of range but it’s not 👍🏼

[@mrsmdub75]

@@amyk6028 I agree! My sister is a nurse practitioner and she told me not to stress about it. I am now 47 and feel perfectly fine 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@florastucker1804]

I am 66 years old, female, with 49 triglycerides. I swim three times a week, 20 laps /45 minutes to 1 hour. I am worried about my H and L DL. They both are high. I eat healthy food, most of which is veggies and fruits.

[@annvassallo2604]

6:18 My hdl is 117, my vldl is 5mg/dl, my triglycerides are 42mg/dl, my ldl is 186. My blood sugar is normal, im a 56 yo female on HRT. I don't drink, but I walk an hour a day and eat a ketogenic diet.

[@mcfann1013]

I listened to this because I’m researching what is happening with my HDL cholesterol at 125. It’s always been high, I’m 68 and am athletic. I have no metabolic indicators of CVD. I want to know if my high HDL is sneaky heart disease.

[@brandyjohanningsmeier9033]

My HDLs have been in the 40d's for as long as I can remember and the advice I got from doctors never helped. I went keto in February 2019 and I took my health assessment for work in September. In that short amount of time my HDLs were at 60 and I was so proud of myself. I ended keto in December 2019 but, I kept a bunch of my good habits. I just took my health assessment this year and I'm now at a 70 HDL. I Believe changing all of the fats in my home to good fats did the trick. It's a little more expensive but, I will never go back.

[@TheWinterState]

Good job sis, your sounding like me. So I’m going the route you choose.

[@parisjames37]

Pay little now for the best foods or pay LOTS later when sick. You are on the right path! Health is wealth and I am INVESTING TODAY☺️

[@marjn1030]

I wish I would've recorded my cholesterol when I was younger so I would know what range is better for me. I think checking blood pressure, oxygen, sugar before and after meal, cholesterol, temperature, heart rate should give someone a hint if they're out of balance or not in homeostasis.

[@KurtAnderson812]

Just got some lab results today My HDL is 52 My LDL is 55 My VLDL is 15 My Triglycerides are 73 My total cholesterol is 122 Are these numbers good? Bad? I’m really not sure. Help!

[@MrRKO-lu1ho]

Extraordinary man, kudos. Really good lipid profile. Keep it up

[@tjj5337]

Mine is 171 . Is that good? I am in my 50’s and trim good blood pressure

[@user-sr8mf2vg9p]

Mine is 80. And one point was 105. I exercise regularly. I notice the more active I am, the higher man HDL goes. This isn’t just another mystery. SMH!

[@Charlie_127]

My HDL is 145..my dr said im fine .but even though its good cholesterol I'm a little nervous its so high and every year it it goes higher.

[@amyk6028]

Are you eating a Ketogenic diet? Or consuming alcohol daily? Either of those will drive up your HDL

[@solraczevehc3761]

My hdl last year was 95 I’ll take that. But my triglycerides were low. No bread or carbs for me. Keto works for me

[@45138449]

I'm 28 and my HDL is 57 and when I eat fish my heart beats increase and is quite annoying. What should I do?

[@riz8462]

I'm 28 and my HDL is 100, eat crap, haven't been exercising for months, and my father died of heart attack. My TG and LDL levels are normal but my total cholesterol is elevated due to my high HDL. I'm a bit concerned...

[@terriblue9792]

HDL 131 and LDL is 109 I’m concerned. My Dr said we will recheck in a few months. In the mean time I’m cutting back on meat. I do eat a lot of rotisserie chicken.

Pretty good except for Triglycerides. They should be below 100

[@randy4711]

Male, 67, after one year LCHF / ketogenic lifestyle I lost 22 lbs (10 kg). Now HDL 77 (2.0 mol/L), LDL 309 (8.0), TG 95 (1.07), TC 379 (9.8). My TG/HDL ratio following the method of the ‘Cholesterol Code’ of Dave Feldman is 1.23 (0,54 mmol/L), which sounds very good. Never felt beter in the last 40 years.

[@guysmiley6152]

Awesome. My hdl went up 17 from 53 to 70 but ldl dropped 30 pts to 123. Ratio was 1.34 and remnant 10. TG 55. I was very happy but thought 70 was super high. Now im not too worried. Thx. Im on carnivore

[@lusmas99]

congratulations Randy. I've been Keto for 2.5 years. I'm 60 yrs old. Last physical, TC=207, HDL=71, TG=48, LDL=126. Lost remaining 30 lbs to get to BMI normal weight. My doctor wanted to put me on statin. I said no. I live in Houston and went to see cardiologist Dr. Nadir Ali. I got a Nuclear Stress test. No obstructions. He put me on high dose vitamin D3/K2. I take other supplements/vitamins. I'm sticking with the TG/HDL ratio. Tired of every week some "new study" b.s. I'm keeping the weight off, blood pressure normal (off meds) and never felt better. If this is going to kill me, so be it. I found something that works for me that I am able to sustain.

What you eat or exercise has no effect on HDL or very little.

PS its always been highish but jumped from 80 to 101 in the last 2 years

HDL 99 LDL 63 I’m about 55 lbs overweight. My husband who is much younger and slender is HDL 70 LDL 220 VLDL 24 Triglycerides 120 As usual his doctors never even blink when they see those numbers and high blood pressure because he is young, lean and fit. He is active duty military so he needs to deploy every year. I bet if he were a fat civilian a civilian Dr would react differently.

Since this video is NOW six years old you may be forgiven for hot presenting this topic very well . In the first plave, you don't show the referenced study ,so no way to be sure of anything you are talking about. Of most importance is whether trigs are low , and LDL high along with high HDL. That is now called Lean Mass Hyper Responder, and is theorized to be very good in context of a carnivore or low carb high fat diet! Also, in past years , some pharma companies tried to monetize High HDL by developing a drug to do so. When, that didn't pan out, ( something about lots of patients dying and other undesirable results), they then dropped the idea and pronounced that high HDL was deadly, but forgot to mention why in particular. Animal based diet will produce high values, but, have not heard of veggie diet doing so. Especially since carbs drive DOWN HDL levels!
