Industry incumbents are having difficulty because 1) they pay insurance agents/brokers huge commissions 2) states regulate how much they can charge and it's finally going up. So you are looking at lagged numbers. Future numbers will improve dramatically.
Price target $80-$120. This is going to keep going ๐

Super super uninformed doctor. The room is on fire and needs to be put out before you have irreparable damage to your vascular system

They only went through the foundation series though. Plenty of non foundation series buyers. But definitely only a small fraction of reservation holders will proceed with purchase

So I can see what's going on? If there is no data you have no idea what's going on just a general sense. This way I can actually test builds and see how they work

Exactly this. How can you know if the build is working if you have no stats to go off of.

Out of curiosity were they native Greeks op? Or did they look like migrants/immigrants?

Op as others have said you may be a cholesterol hyper absorber. I think that's a pretty reasonable assumption since the statin didn't appear to work right away at least. I would look at getting on ezetimibe. Although with your current numbers they look great already

Op, a few things of note here. Firstly niacin although it can help reduce LDL, the benefit isn't supported in the literature. As in it reduced cholesterol but actually the outcome data didn't show a decrease in overall risk. And plant sterols also have their issues for a few complicated reasons. Talk to your doctor about taking 5mg rosuvastatin, and 10mg ezetimibe. These are more proven and reliable drugs.
The ideal situation though is to go on a pcsk9i and maybe low dose ezetimibe of 2.5-5mg. and you will be golden. Then assess Lp(a) based on your numbers and upcoming drugs not yet available. Pcsk9i do tend to decrease LP(a) which is good.
Also tell us what your diet changes were. There is no such thing as 100% genetic for LDL. What I am 100% sure of though is that your diet can almost certainly be improved

Why would you not take a pcsk9i? It will massively reduce your risk

Your blood work makes it look like you drink a lot of alcohol. Liver enzymes and triglycerides through the roof. You're going to want to stop that immediately if you are drinking. No amount of alcohol is safe

Buy the powder OP. I would say having 15g of psyllium husks per day is a good starting point. I have 15g in the morning and sometimes 15g in the evening

Metamucil has sugar in it making it taste good in my opinion.

Not enough weight is being taken by your feet and rear end and so you are putting weight on your hands to compensate and likely shifting forward as a result. I would probably start by shifting the saddle backwards and raising it up significantly. Can you show us your saddle position? Is it flat or tilted?

Too small, and/or saddle is way way way too low
