I just started with the program but am very familiar with the Weston Price plan. I go to meetings once a month in my area. I buy milk from a local farmer and make my own yogurt and butter. I buy free range chicken and make my own soups with the broth. I exercise frequently and do yoga occasionally. I have a massage once a month and a chiropractor appt. right after that. But I still am not at a healthy weight and my doctor is concerned about my Cholesterol (280). I need help bringing this all together. How do you the the allergy thing?

I have never written on one of these before so forgive me if I don't do it correctly the first time.

My HDL was 96, my LDL was 172, my Tri's were 87. Total Chol was 285

What is your interpretation of this figures? I have heard from other sources that you don't look at the total numbers but the make up of all the numbers.o

I have lowered my chol before by losing weight and cutting back on the sugar. Last year it was 188 but I keep yo yoing because I didn't really know what the total reason was for the drop or increase. The light bulbs are starting to go off now.

Bringing it all together

You are off to a great start if you have been using Weston Price nutritional principles for awhile. I personally am very much influenced by the WAPF and as the Nutrition Director for Enlita, I use a lot of their information in our menu plan. Read the menus and lessons and you should understand how to do the allergy elimination. You will have the opportunity to test egg and dairy in week 4 and the other foods in the weeks following. Let us know if you have additional questions. We are putting a coaching program together where you will be able to get individualized help soon if you like, as well. As for the cholesterol, I personally would not worry too much because there is a lot of evidence that low cholesterol is not protective against disease. In fact, its harmful. Have you read The Cholesterol Myths? What is your HDL in relation to your LDL?
