Fiona / Dr. Ron.

I have been on the Rosedale diet since July. Started at 325. Now at 270#. I had not been to the Dr in a long time. Got a Physical last week. Dr. was happy with being on a Keto diet. - He had not heard of Dr. Ron. I told him to read the book. He wrote it down at least.

I do not have a print out of my lab work - but this is what they told me on the phone.

blood glucose 93
Triglycerides 86
Good Cholesterol - 54
Bad Cholesterol - 159

Blood pressure was 131/79

My Thyroid was 4.17 and he seemed concern with it. Wants me to continue on your diet and lose more weight and see him in 6 months. no recommendations at this time for meds. Just keep losing weight is what he said.

Your book says that 4.17 is too high. Is this going to get "fixed" as I lose more weight? I am kinda worried.
I am 44 years old.

Thanks again for the support.

   Hi Terry,

   Great progress! I love that your doctor is supportive. I will ask Dr. Ron when I see him next about your thyroid. I think you mentioned before but just checking, you are not taking any medications correct?

   There are quite a few different thyroid tests. My guess is that the number that you gave us is not for a free T-3. If this has not been done that would be a good idea, as it is a far better index of thyroid activity than other numbers.

   You changed my life and I appreciate your feedback more than you know. I

   Sincerely,
