Wow, you 2 are awesome. I have heard of anyone with HDL in the 100's.
Oak, I can't believe your insurance won't pay for the breakdown... what, they would rather have you have a heart attack or a stroke? I could see them limiting it to every X number of years, but geez.

And how do I make HDL's go > 100? I eat pretty well. What else can I do?

It may not be possible for you - with LDL that low, your ratio is still great, and that's most important. Olive oil, nuts, red wine, fatty fish, and exercise are some of the things I've read that can increase HDL.

Crankin, my HDL is no longer that high -- it was that high when I was doing a low-carb diet. Now it's like 70 something, I believe. Higher than my LDL so still very good, according to my doc. But I sure liked that 103!
