> “keep your doctor in the loop of doing a weird diet and do regular check-ups for obvious markers like cholesterol”

Who the hell actually does this? I find this whole “talk to your doctor about your diet regularly” advice very unrealistic. Are you all just filling out some legal advice so you don’t get sued or something? Lol.

I know multiple people who do it but I’m kinda in that gym/fitness scene where people really care about different levels of stuff in their blood. Truthfully I think most of it’s BS but really only doctors can run those tests.

My friend in the story did it because he physically felt the impact of the cholesterol. It impacts your hormones. His QoL declined quickly so he went to the doctor to understand why.
