I have a very high calcium score. What next?

Okay so here's the book I read/listened to where the doctor insisted that what you eat has no relationship to the cholesterol your body produces. His name is Dr. Peter Attia: "Outlive, the science and art of longevity" He seems legit to me. Of course, he's selling stuff like his podcast, books etc. but he is a well-respected doctor with testimonials from well-known people. I have not vetted him like a seasoned journalist. See for yourself. He's all over the internet.

My research, and what I follow, is that your environment is 75% of the risk, and genes the last 25% (I've seen numbers as high as 90/10, but I'll go with the most common numbers). Meaning, what you eat, how you exercise, sleep quality, etc., matters a great deal. And since I'm beating my family history with my lifestyle, I'm a believer.
That means near daily cardio exercise, a mostly plant based diet, no red meat, no tropical oil, no fried foods, etc. It's working for me (yes, also with drugs), so consider all the options and choose what works for you
