I am Z, a Malay woman working as an auditor. Last year, I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, and my doctor prescribed medication for it. At the time, I was only 29 years old and didn’t think I should need cholesterol medication. However, during my second check-up, my cholesterol was still uncontrolled, and I couldn’t avoid medication any longer. Despite my BMI being normal and my diet not excessive, my doctor couldn’t find the cause of my elevated cholesterol.
After taking the medication for three months and seeing no improvement, my doctor referred me to Diet Ideas. It took me some time to connect with them, but I finally did six months ago. With my wedding planned for December this year, I wanted to start this new phase of my life healthily. My doctor and I were determined to find the reason behind my high cholesterol, and we finally did with the help of a dietitian from Diet Ideas.
Today marks my sixth month with Diet Ideas, after a year of taking cholesterol medication. With my doctor’s permission, I have been able to stop the medication. I can’t stress enough the importance of having a personal dietitian. Not only have I improved my cholesterol levels and stopped my medication, but I have also gained lifelong knowledge about how food can be medicine.
Thank you to Diet Ideas. I highly recommend Diet Ideas to everyone.
