According to the doctor my "lipids are amazing." Apparently, that has to do with cholesterol.
The bad news is that I have a Vitamin D "insufficiency." It's pretty low but not quite low enough to be called a "deficiency" according to their scale.
Anyway, I will be taking Vitamin D supplements going forward and hopefully this gets me back on track. I have also slowed down on using sunscreen so my body can absorb the sunlight and give me some Vitamin D that way. You apparently need to have a certain amount in your body and then the sun somehow activates it or makes it do what it should.
That's my highly medical explanation.
Chad, you may want to have your bone density checked as well. I have to use high dose of sunscreen due to my freckles. As a result, not only was my vitamin D terribly low, but my bone density had suffered as you must have Vit D to process calcium for your bones and teeth. I take both Calcium and D daily to keep this in balance along with still using sunscreen. All are back in balance after two years of adding those supplements.
