For how long are you taking GW already?

Those numbers aren't great especially if you are on GW. Are you sure your GW is good?

If you're serious about your heart, below if what you should get.

Blood Tests
NMR Particle Test (for cholesterol)
B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) (heart)
Homocysteine
C Reactive Protein

Non blood tests (highly recommended)
Calcium scan or CT angiogram

Those number are from a month ago, I have since lost 20 lbs and added the supplements above. I’m hoping for improved number when I test this week, just looking for any additional important tests I can add.

ApoB is one of the most important tests
