52F. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I eat healthy, take supplements, no alcohol or smoking, and I TRY to exercise as much as I can with varying degrees of chronic pain. I have very good sleep habits but feel I need about 9 a night to feel best (never get).

My lipids have improved. But I asked for an Apo-B this year and the result floored me. First numbers in 2025 and second last week.

Total Cholesterol - 243 to 214

Triglycerides - 132 to 94

HDL - 68 to 66

LDL - 149 to 129

Non HDL - 175 to 148

Ratio - 3.6 to 3.2

Ferritin - 250 to 162

LPA in 2025 - 43

Calcium score in 2021 - 0 (will be having new one soon)

The really crap news - Apo-B is 116

I am so mad honestly. I really want to live to a healthy 120 and I need these numbers looking way better than this nonsense.

Suggestions?

I typically use Lolavie Restorative. It claims to be bonding. I’d like to alternate every couple of washes. What type would you alternate with a bonding shampoo? Clarifying? Moisturizing? Volumizing? I also use a purple shampoo once every two weeks or so.

My hair is quite fine but a good amount of it. Slight wave if I air dry. Some greys coming in but I have bleached highlights so you can’t really see them (but they are thicker). My hair actually seems thicker and wavier as I age (52).
