Raising HDL cholesterol levels is not too difficult, but it may involve lifestyle changes. Here are 4 steps you can take to boost HDL levels:

  1. Exercise regularly: the more, the better
  2. Increase your intake of fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids
  3. Lose weight and/or maintain a healthy weight
  4. Stop smoking

All the best,

Where I send people for supplements

Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.

My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
