My LDL hit 184 mg/dL, so I’m cutting saturated fat to under 10g a day

Fuck. I did my 6-month blood test, and my LDL reached an all-time high (184 mg/dL 🔴‼️). I’ve been trying to lower it for over a year, but with all the traveling, my diet keeps changing. I don’t eat fatty meat or other high-saturated-fat foods, but I do drink about 1 liter of whole milk every day. I love my morning lattes, but I also don’t love increasing my long-term cardiovascular risk. So I’m going all in: <10g of saturated fat per day. No more whole milk. No more @bryan_johnson protein bars (3g saturated fat for only 9g protein). More fibers and 5g of psyllium husk a day. I’ll retest in 8 weeks. The good news: every other biomarker looked great, and my testosterone improved.
