I'll post here about the natural way to reduce cholesterol if/when I can stick to my diet and exercise plan and lose at least five pounds, preferably ten pounds, this summer. Currently at 5'11 1/2 and 185 lbs, I'm not obese, but 10 lbs would get me back to where I was twenty years ago. That is a challenge, given my social and geographic environment. Twenty pounds less forty years ago seems unrealistic. Meanwhile, reducing consumption of some of the most notorious cholesterol foods and walking five or more miles per week seems to have helped some.

I am looking forward to hearing back to learn how you do it. Question, since the standard lipid panel is pretty general and there is so much more knowledge available today….what specific markers do your doctors want you to manage? What risk are you trying to minimize?

I am pretty good with my eating. No overweightnor underweight. Walk min 7,000 steps a day (approx three miles), today I did 7 miles. Do yard work and house work. Working on sleeping better through sleep meditations and I take Beta Sitosterol supplements which seem to be lowering my LPa. My cholesterol is still high, but my good cholesterol is, too so my ratio is good (2.5). Has to fire my cardiologist because he could not stop beating the statin/Repatha drugs drum even though they made me very sick.
