I got some extensive blood work done which supposedly shows I have an elevated risk of heart disease. My linoleic acid numbers were actually quite below range, but cholesterol was high. For context I eat a carnivore/red meat-heavy diet, almost no seed oils, very few processed foods, lots of dairy, lots of coffee, and lots of foods that are generally considered to be nutrient-dense. My nutrients and vitamins (like vitamin D) were all good/within normal range except very low ferritin.

Now I'm wondering if I should totally overhaul my diet towards something more "Mediterranean" or even pescatarian/vegetarian?

I've been trying to lose weight but I haven't had much luck.
