!!! ApoB

• If genetic risk: (source: Kevin Rose / Peter Attia 60 mg/dL)
• Optimal: <80 mg/dL
• Moderate risk: 80-99 mg/dL
• High risk: ≥100 mg/dL

! Lp(a)

• Optimal: <30 mg/dL or <75 nmol/L
• Moderate risk: 30-50 mg/dL or 75-125 nmol/L
• High risk: >50 mg/dL or >125 nmol/L

Triglycerides

• Normal: <150 mg/dL
• Borderline high: 150-199 mg/dL
• High: 200-499 mg/dL
• Very high: ≥500 mg/dL

LDL

• ideal below 1000 nmol/L
• high risk > 16000 nmol/L
• a good predictor for LDL particle is the Triglycerides to HDL ratio: (source: Keto Reddit FAQ)
  Trig/HDL ratio in mg/dl: 1 is perfect, below 2 is good, above 3 means significant disease, above 5 means you will explode any moment.
  Trig/HDL ratio in mmol/l: 0.44 is perfect, below 0.88 is good, above 1.33 means significant disease above 2.2 means you will explode any moment.

Fasting Insulin $30~

• Optimal: <5 μIU/mL
• Normal: 5-10 μIU/mL
• Above normal: 10-15 μIU/mL
• High: >15 μIU/mL

More Expensive

hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) (Inflammation marker)

• “<3” mg/L typical but not low enough
• “<0.3” mg/L says the research

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) (Oxidative stress marker)

• “<25” U/L typical
• “<8” U/L says some research
