Berkeley HeartLab for lipid and genetic testing

I'm in my mid-30's and I'm thinking I need to go on cholesterol and blood pressure medicine :(

have you had a full work up to see what your numbers are? diet can do *tons* for this stuff. -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 09:25 2
- Word. I'm hoping that when I lose enough I can stop taking my cholesterol medicine. - Jim Apr 16, 09:28
- Not to his extent, but yes I have a physical/blood work every other year or so. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 16, 09:26
