Did you know your cholesterol panel can tell you a lot more than just your total cholesterol? š
This week Iāve been breaking down one of my favorite underrated health markers: your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio.
⨠Extra sugar can be converted into triglycerides.
⨠HDL is your bodyās cleanup crew.
⨠Those two numbers together can give clues about insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.
⨠Sometimes the most important information isnāt the number your doctor circles first.
The goal isnāt perfection. Itās understanding your numbers, making small changes, and improving over time. šŖ
š Save this post so you can come back to calculate your ratio the next time you get labs done.
š¤ Share it with a friend or family member who has been told their cholesterol is āfineā but has never looked at their triglycerides or HDL.
Have you ever calculated your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio? Drop your numbers below (Triglycerides Ć· HDL) and Iāll help you figure it out. š
