Not going to scan them in. Was a basic set of tests for free from community health clinic, so this time not as much data as 's:

*both of us got the less-than-optimal concentration tests, instead of particle count tests (LDL-P/HDL-P), the reasons for which are explained in great detail . I wonder if there is a way to request that particular test instead?
**based on Aragorn's test sheet; my test sheet had slightly different ranges for what was optimal.
***Cholesterol Total / HDL-C
****based on my sheet

Takeaways: nothing too surprising here. Neither of us are on the path to beetusland. Similar cardiac risk and cholesterol ratios. Predictably I am on the high end of all cholesterol concentrations, typical for keto but not a concern after 4 years.

**Takeaways**: nothing too surprising here. Neither of us are on the path to beetusland. Similar cardiac risk and cholesterol ratios. Predictably I am on the high end of all cholesterol *concentrations*, typical for keto but not a concern after 4 years.
