My annual labs after 15 years keto (44F): every metabolic and inflammatory marker clean, LDL the lone outlier which I am not worried about
Been on keto since 2011, so about 15 years now. I'm 44F and feeling great. Just got my annual bloodwork back and figured the numbers might be of interest here.
My LDL came back high (141), and total cholesterol is 209, flagged high. But the markers I pay more attention to look great:
- Triglycerides: 51
- HDL: 58
- Trig/HDL ratio: ~0.9
- Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 3.6
- Non-HDL: 151 (in range)
And the rest of the metabolic picture, which I'd argue matters more than LDL in isolation:
- A1c: 5.0%
- Glucose: 91
- hs-CRP: 0.3 (lowest cardiovascular risk tier)
- Homocysteine: 5 (low end of normal)
- Vitamin D: 36
Classic high-LDL, high-HDL, low-trig pattern that a lot of lean low-carbers seem to land on. Not medical advice, just sharing my own data. Curious whether others here see the same split between a flagged LDL and otherwise clean metabolic and inflammatory markers.

"I would say this, they've got to stop with the windmills."
-Donald Trump in response to Britain's economy being hurt by the Iran war
Donald Trump has had a fascination--some may some a strange obsession--with windmills. Whether talking about how "ugly" they are, how "dangerous" they might be for our health, or the many "millions" of birds that he purports they kill a year, he is arguably as inseparable from the windmill as is the entire country of the Netherlands.
So I found the data to share.
I used Roll Call's archive of speeches and interviews to map out all of those events where he pivots to talk about the mighty windmill. Then using Tableau, I made a bar chart to track this data.
Not included are the 158 Tweets or Truth Social posts (since 2016) about windmills, wind turbines, and the wind (posts about the actual weather for things like hurricanes were excluded in that count).
The "South Park" font choice seemed pretty dumb, which is how I felt after having spent the time researching this important subject.
