 Very skeptical of the cholesterol drugs. Seems lile a pharmaceutical treadmill without a sound scientific backing. Maybe check out what nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhspu30gj is doing.

 Fun fact: tesamorelin dropped my cholesterol like a rock. That's not why I take it, but it's a neat expected side effect. 
 You subscribe to the cholesterol is bad narrative then? 
 I subscribe to the "cholesterol is more nuanced than most doctors care to admit" perspective.

 Completely agree. Doc just phrased it as "your bad cholesterol is high, here's some medicine" so I'll have to get smart before lab reviews next month. Thank you.
