holy cholesterol batman

4months ago, at the start of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), my total was 87. Started and been doing a blast of about 300 for the last 8weeks. Donated blood yesterday and my total cholesterol was 317! What in the world happened and what's a good course for correction?

How has diet been? Any changes in exercise/activity level too?

 

[bitterdregs]

diet is roughly the same though a lot more protein via whey and turkey. Make a protein concoction with oats, whey isolate and and smart choice peanut butter. I have dropped some cardio in favor of lifting (as long as my test levels are up).

To to sum up, similar diet with less cardio, more weights.

and I forgot to mention anastrazole at about 0.5mg/week split in 2 doses as well as 500mg/weel hcg split, as well

Where did you donate blood? I didn't know they even tested for cholesterol when you donated blood. If I were you I would retest your cholesterol at Labcorp or some other reputable lab. It sounds unlikely that your cholesterol really increased that much in four months.

Local hospital came to work. They tested iron using copper sulfate (so no hematocrit test) and then u can call the next day for total cholesterol. They do it as part of a Wellness assessment.
It'll get checked again Thursday, but hell yeah nearly 4x in a few months is freaky.

It seems to me you need to lower your dose a little bit. T does effect your cholesterol, but sometimes dependent on your dose, most of the time it improves cholesterol in men with LowT
