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.

All studies indicate that the only way to lower Lp(a) is to lower LDL as Lp(a) attaches to LDL in the liver. Lower LDL=less Lpa(a) getting into the arteries.
Other health issues should be managed best as possible, especially if you have thyroid disease as those levels affect Lp(a) levels. Any infection, flu, menopause etc can also affect Lp(a) fluctuations. If in very good health your Lp(a) will be at lowest level possible if not taking Ezidemibe and/or Repatha.
