[Vendor] QST order #19 — Canada, 15 days, no drama, receipts inside
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on lipids in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Ferritin tanked from 5 to 19. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is ALT. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
the 19 month bloodwork check is the routine
