MY HEALTH TESTS REVEALED SOMETHING I CAN’T IGNORE | PROJECT 98.9 EP. 9
Nine weeks in, PROJECT 98.9 is going under the bonnet.
After finally completing the health tests he’d avoided for years, Leigh sits down with functional medicine practitioner Rick Davids to start unpacking the results.
And one area needs attention: his cholesterol markers.
Rick walks Leigh through his lipid results, including elevated total cholesterol, LDL and ApoB, and explains why the results warrant a conversation with his doctor.
For Leigh, the biggest difference this time isn't just knowing the numbers. It’s what he does next.
In this episode:
- Leigh’s Week 9 standards and weigh-in
- Why the recent juice cleanse felt like a mental reset
- The habits that are starting to feel more natural
- Letting go of the need to appear “perfect”
- Introducing Under the Bonnet
- What Leigh’s cholesterol results showed
- Understanding LDL, HDL, triglycerides and ApoB
- Why Rick recommends further medical evaluation
- Leigh’s decision to stop avoiding his health and take action
There’s still plenty to understand, and Leigh is taking the results to his doctor rather than trying to figure it all out himself.
Because this time, putting it off isn’t an option.
Follow PROJECT 98.9 as Leigh and Sharkie document the 36-week journey to 98.9 — including what’s happening on the scales and under the bonnet.
