My doctor ordered all these tests . What is a CBC , T4 , tsh, comp metabolic panel and lipid w/ trig & LDL ? Why do i need all of this ?

Why is it important to eat the recommended amount of lipids when trying to lose weight?

I took too much Synthroid (thyroxine) trying to lose weight. Can i stop taking my Synthroid (thyroxine) for 3 days to get my levels back to normal? I currently take 50 mg, TSH 0.022, T4 14.84. I don't have a thyroid anymore.

I exercise 5x/week; high fiber, low sugar diet; normal weight; low BP. I'm 40 and mostly healthy. But, my LDL-C is high (150-160 since 2012). The rest of my lipid panel looks fine. Would statins make sense? Or should I get my LDL-P checked first?
