This case highlights a common problem: a healthy man in his 40s made smart changes to optimize his health โ more protein, better fats, creatine, fiber, and consistent workouts. He felt stronger, leaner, and more energized than ever.
Then his labs came back, and he was told:
โYour cholesterol is too high.โ

His LDL particle number was up โ likely from increased liver production, not diet.
His oxidized LDL (the dangerous type) dropped by 50% โ a major win for heart health.
This isnโt a red flag โ itโs a sign of progress.
You just have to know what to look for.
If youโve been told your cholesterol is high, you may need more than a basic panel. You may need a deeper, more accurate interpretation.
