[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I am on cholesterol meds (runs in my family), I will raise that as one of my questions. I am under 60 and my mother has likely Alzheimer’s (not early onset, she is in her 70s) so now that worries me for sure. I definitely do not get enough sleep, my job is pretty demanding and I have to be up very early each day.

I’m making a list of all the recommendations here and can start some today, and this is giving me a lot of great questions to ask when I finally talk to the doctor.

I would have no problem internment fasting if that ends of being best, a lot of times I actually have to remind myself to eat. I just don’t have a huge appetite generally. My meal times are not very consistent and sometimes I even skip and just have a handful of nuts or some fruit. DH thinks my odd eating patterns is contributing (but he is not a medical doctor, it just bugs him how I eat)[/quote]

OP, also look up the symptoms of apnea, if untreated it can really impact metabolic health. High cortisol from stress or lack of sleep has the same impact. Prioritize sleep. Have high protein foods prepped that do not raise insulin - hardboiled eggs, salad with chicken or salmon, unsweetened Greek yogurt, etc. Avoid tropical fruits and go for lower glycemic index fruits like berries or an apple. I found that moving from plant based to an omni diet was very helpful, plant based had too much starch for me as I got older, even with running and other exercise. Perimenopause and menopause also impact metabolic health as estrogen drops, many find adjustments of what to eat and how often are needed then.
