Heading to the doc in a few minutes to go over my bloodwork. I know the A1C is fine so no worries there. We're gonna "debate" over my cholesterol though. In spite of me "eating clean" it continues to climb and he's going to push me to go on statins.

BUT...

Two of the biggest contributors to high cholesterol are high levels of cortisol (caused by stress) and a lack of estrogen. And guess what? My numbers were fine until I had my hysterectomy and John was diagnosed with cancer.

I'm working on the stress (see my post about the Walk for Peace) and am going to talk to him about some type of an estrogen replacement therapy.

I suspect the discussion will not go well. He's one of those "How dare you question the almighty doctor? I KNOW ALL!!!!!" types....

And those types just rub me the wrong way.
