What to Do When Your Doctor Tells You Your Triglycerides Are Too High

By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison, MS

Like most of us these days, Stan has been focusing on work, work, and
more work. Doing so has kept him out of the gym and eating for
convenience rather than health. He's been taking in more calories than
he uses, and now his doctor tells him his triglyceride level is too
high.

A high triglyceride level (usually anything over 200 mg/dL) is simply
the result of an energy imbalance within your body. Rather than fat and
glucose (sugar) being utilized, they float aimlessly in the blood.

Since metabolism likes to be as tidy as possible, it packages unused fat
and sugar into a storage molecule known as a triglyceride. Once merged,
triglycerides are then stuffed into your belly, your muscles, or even
your liver.

With high triglycerides, Stan risks obesity, Type II diabetes, and heart
disease. In one fell swoop, his doctor prescribed a round of
cholesterol-lowering drugs, anti-diabetic meds, and, for safe measure,
blood pressure drugs.

Since Stan reads the headlines while sipping his sugary cup of joe, he
knows these drugs aren't his best option. Instead, he chose to follow my
natural recommendations.

The natural enemy of triglycerides is a hormone known as glucagon. High
triglyceride levels
are usually accompanied by high insulin. Insulin
stores fat while smothering glucagon production. Bring it back to the
surface, and glucagon will smash triglycerides, as well as all the
medical complications that accompany them.

How do you do it?

First, space your meals out by five hours. This will help insulin simmer
down and cause your body to produce glucagon. Make sure you are
consuming mostly healthy fats from seeds and nuts

grass-fed beef, real butter, cod liver oil, and avocados

Second, start supplementing with a teaspoon of psyllium husk and about
300mg of alpha-lipoic acid

This will slow the absorption of calories and speed up sugar metabolism,
reversing your body's energy imbalance.

Finally, start exercising.
