Hello! I had a recent lipid panel done recently. My total cholesterol came back abnormally low.
Total cholesterol: 74 Reference Values 160-200 mg/dl .
My physician had no explanation for this. What could be going on, and how do I fix this?
I'm not on any medications and regularly eat red meat. Not sure if it is related, but my energy levels are off the charts low also and I suffer from depression.

difficult to know because, in UK we measure in mmol/litre. So I'm not sure how to translate your readings. Are you in USA?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am in the US.
74 mg/dl converts to 1.9136 mmol/litre
Any insights you could share would be appreciated.
Thank you
