Hello,

The lifestyle you are having (very active and exercising and vegan for 2 years) may explain the low cholesterol.
On the other hand, in rare cases, some diseases may cause low cholesterol such as hyperthyroidism, problems with surenal glands, liver diseases, malnutrition, malabsorption, etc.

To make sure the lipids are normally low in your case, it is advised to see a doctor and probably do some tests to check the function of some endocrine glands and the metabolic profile.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
