Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The vitamin D is very low and the vitamin b12 is also low. I don't think that this can be treated without medications.
Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol are elevated also.
I think you may try to do some diet changes such low fat diet, avoiding red meat and diary products
Eat more white meat, chicken breast, turkey, fish , low fat diary products.
Imcrease physical activity.
If they don't get better you may need to take medications such statins.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
