I I haven't won the genetic lottery either, but after reading Sabina's newsletter and having some not-so-great news regarding recent cholesterol tests, I thought I should give it a try. I just got my results today, and I was beyond impressed to see that my LDL went from 158 to 112. Almost all the other lipid biomarkers followed the same trend, so I'm super excited this protocol was successful and gave me hope that diet and lifestyle changes can work.

This was so reassuring to read! As someone who didn't win the genetic lottery, and already eats really clean, I'm so happy that there are still changes to make that will make a difference.

Curious on where/how you started your research?

There's always a solution, but it takes experimentation to find what works for YOU. This protocol might not get you the same results, but I think it's worth giving it a try.

I always look at the published literature (randomized control trials, meta-analyses, etc.) on lifestyle interventions that have been proven to work for a particular health concern. Elicit does a great job at summarizing studies so it's easier to read. Petter Attia also has a ton of great information on cardiovascular health and lipids. I also work with my doctor at Parsley Health who orders my labs and we discuss supplements for me to try.

I hope this helps :)
