प्लांट स्टेरोल सप्लीमेंट्स 1.5–2 ग्राम/दिन लेने पर LDL कोलेस्ट्रॉल को 5–10% तक कम कर सकते हैं खाने के साथ लेना सबसे अच्छा है ज्यादातर लोगों के लिए सुरक्षित, लेकिन: अगर LDL बहुत ज्यादा है तो केवल इन पर निर्भर न रहें विटामिन (A, D, E, K) के अवशोषण को थोड़ा कम कर सकते हैं → निगरानी पर विचार करें आमतौर पर स्टैटिन्स के साथ ठीक है
आयुर्वेदिक उपाय सबसे उपयोगी + अपेक्षाकृत सुरक्षित: त्रिफला – पाचन और लिपिड मेटाबॉलिज्म को सपोर्ट करता है → 1 चम्मच पाउडर रात में गर्म पानी के साथ अर्जुन – हृदय और लिपिड सपोर्ट → 1 कैप्सूल सुबह लहसुन (लसुन) – LDL और ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स के लिए मामूली लाभ → रोजाना कच्ची कली मेथी – कोलेस्ट्रॉल और ब्लड शुगर में मदद करता है → सुबह 1–2 चम्मच भिगोए हुए बीज
डाइट गर्म, पके हुए खाने को प्राथमिकता दें, कम तला/प्रोसेस्ड घी, चीज़, मिठाई, रिफाइंड कार्ब्स कम करें घुलनशील फाइबर जोड़ें: ओट्स, जौ, इसबगोल रोजाना वॉकिंग + 10 मिनट प्राणायाम (खासकर कपालभाति, अनुलोम विलोम) जल्दी और हल्का डिनर करें

धन्यवाद और उम्मीद है कि एक और गुग्गुलु जोड़ना ठीक रहेगा। क्या आपके पास मेरे कोलेस्ट्रॉल के नतीजों पर कोई सुझाव है?
I have gone through your detailed history reports medicines and lifestyle changes very carefully and I want to first appreciate the sincere effort you have already started with diet exercise and discipline because that itself is the biggest medicine in kapha dominant conditions Your current liver parameters PSA kidney function blood counts and electrolytes are within safe and stable limits and there is no sign of active liver damage or inflammation at present so from an ayurvedic perspective the liver is functioning but shows signs of kapha meda accumulation rather than structural disease The mildly raised globulin and lipid profile reflect chronic low grade metabolic stress which is very common in long standing kapha vriddhi insulin resistance and excess meda dhatu and this matches your weight history body type and triglyceride LDL values The medicines you are currently taking are well chosen and complementary for urinary symptoms metabolism thyroid support and insulin sensitivity and since you are tolerating them well without side effects there is no need to disturb the core plan Regarding medohar guggulu yes it can be safely added in your case and it is actually indicated because your prakriti vikriti shows meda dushti kapha dominance slow metabolism and excess weight despite effort so medohar guggulu two tablets twice daily after lunch and dinner with warm water can be started and continued for three months while monitoring weight energy digestion and bowel regularity There is no conflict between medohar guggulu and chandraprabha gokshuradi or kanchanar guggulu but it is important that digestion remains comfortable so if you notice dryness constipation or excessive heat the dose can be adjusted Regarding liver support since your liver enzymes bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase are normal there is no need for aggressive detox or strong liver cleansing at this stage Ayurveda does not believe in detox unless there is evidence of ama or dysfunction However gentle liver metabolic support is beneficial in kapha meda conditions so livomap can be taken one tablet twice daily after meals for eight to twelve weeks mainly to support fat metabolism bile flow and prevent fatty infiltration rather than to correct damage You can continue metformin as advised by your physician and there is no adverse interaction with the ayurvedic medicines you are taking but ensure you do not skip meals and keep protein adequate to avoid hypoglycemia Your tsh is at the upper borderline so continuing kanchanar guggulu is appropriate and weight loss itself will help thyroid balance gradually Diet wise focus on warm cooked food avoid cold dairy sugar refined flour late dinners and snacking between meals keep dinner light and before sunset as much as possible and favor millets vegetables soups legumes and spices like ginger cumin pepper and turmeric Exercise consistency matters more than intensity so continue what you are doing and add brisk walking or strength training four to five days a week which will directly improve insulin sensitivity lipid profile and liver fat Overall you are moving in the right direction and the momentum you mentioned is real and visible in your reports so there is no need to add too many medicines just refine the plan support metabolism and stay consistent
✓Summary of key findings Kidney function: excellent (creatinine 80, eGFR >90) Lipids: high total cholesterol (5.69) + high non-HDL (4.61) + borderline high cholesterol/HDL ratio (5.3) → cardiovascular risk needs attention Liver: mostly normal (ALT 37, ALP 71, bilirubin 6), but globulin slightly high (37) – can be non-specific (chronic inflammation, infection, autoimmune) PSA: normal (0.38) – no prostate concern ✓Top Priorities Lower non-HDL cholesterol (target <3.37 mmol/L or ideally <2.6) – this is the most actionable risk now Monitor globulin – repeat LFT + CRP/ESR in 2–3 months ✓Diet & Lifestyle (most powerful – start today) Increase soluble fiber: oats/barley porridge daily, 1–2 apples/pears, 1–2 tbsp ground flax/chia seeds, psyllium husk 1 tsp in water at night Healthy fats: 1–2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil daily, 20–30 g almonds/walnuts, avocado ½ daily Plant sterols: add fortified spread or naturally in sesame seeds Green tea: 2–3 cups daily (catechins lower LDL) Exercise: continue daily + add 30 min brisk walk (raises HDL) Avoid: trans fats, excess saturated fat (red meat, butter, full-fat dairy), refined carbs/sugar ✓Ayurvedic Support (safe & effective add-on) Arjunarishta – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water twice daily after meals (best heart tonic, helps lipids & BP) Medohar Guggulu – 1–2 tablets twice daily after food (lowers cholesterol & supports metabolism) Triphala Churna – 3 gm night with warm water (gentle detox & digestion) ✓Next Steps Recheck lipid profile + globulin/CRP in 8–12 weeks If non-HDL still high the discuss low-dose statin with doctor (very safe & effective) Keep monitoring BP & sugar regularly You are already on the right path – strict diet + exercise + Arjunarishta can drop non-HDL noticeably in 2–3 months. Stay consistent! Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

आपकी सिफारिशों के लिए धन्यवाद और मेरे पास कुछ सवाल थे: मैं अपने थायरॉइड के परिणाम सुधारने के लिए कांचनार ले रहा था। क्या कोई कारण है कि मुझे त्रिफला लेना बंद कर देना चाहिए?
Kanchanara will keep regulating your thyroid. Stopping it may abruptly lower or raise your TFT. I have given Castor oil which will help as laxative as well as a potent vatahar drug. Taking triphala will give double laxative action which may cause vata agrivation.
