I started taking generic Rosuvastain 20 mg again in 2022 after my Mayo visit. I changed my diet and exercise program, lost some weight, and my cholesterol dropped. I cut my dose to 10 mg and my cholesterol is now 180, HDL 59, LDL 110, TG 66. My blood pressure is 106/66 without meds.

I don’t want my LDL any lower because of the important role LDL plays in the body as discussed in Dr Nadir Ali’s youtube presentation.

I have recently added more fiber to my diet and I have cut my Rosuvastatin dose 5 mg. My atherosclerosis is very mild. I am 70 years old.

I am focused now on following the fascinating research and food guidelines by Dr William Li . His non-profit website is angio.org, and his book, “Eat To Beat Disease” ,scientifically proves there are other factors influencing disease, including heart disease. There is a much bigger story to heart disease treatment and prevention than following cholesterol numbers.

If you would like to order a more advanced lipid panel called Cardio IQ, you can order it yourself online through Ultalabs.com. They don’t bill insurance, but they have huge discounts and 20-50% off sales. The blood is drawn at a Quest Lab draw station near you and sent to Cleveland Heart Lab.

Good luck to you

Re LDL level, I pulled first thing I saw online from known source (not online doc or book doc) - this usually means built in peer review from an institution.

Most discussions agree with this assessment.

My doc and cardiologist like LDL around 50.
