54-year old man no longer suffers from severe hypertriglyceridemia
Diagnosis:
Normal weight with severe hypertriglyceridemia, with initial triglycerides at 1840 mg/dl (normal value <150); experiencing side effects from the 3 different medications he was on to lower triglycerides; medication did not lower triglycerides.
Healthy Outcome:
This story demonstrates that Healthy Outcomes is not just a weight loss program. This patient did not need to lose weight; rather, he needed a nutritional intervention to control his severe hypertriglyceridemia, which was more than 10x the normal range. A ketogenic dietary intervention resulted in his triglycerides decreasing to 200 and the ability to be taken off of all medications.
