Sorry to hear. I have gone between keto and low-fat plant based diets and not much changes. I have a high lp(a) and trying to do what I can to lower everything. Your ldl is great so that is something to celebrate. I took a MTHFR test and have one issue with my MTHFR C677T gene. Recommendation is to do nothing. The answers are not all in, we can just do our best with the current knowledge in front of us. Nice to see what people are doing here in case we are missing any possible treatments, etc. Thank you for sharing.

I too have elevated LP(a) and had to research and ask for it to
be tested myself since my two different cardiologists over time
never tested it. Somewhat high LDL so put me on statins.
That lowered my LDL but LP(A) went up . ( I cut my statin
dosage in half and it still went up. ) Apparently
a genetic condition? Seems to be little information about
it although there is a good cardiology rounds report from
Stanford on line which suggest two medications may be coming
up for FDA approval. Why don't cardiologists do these particle tests
routinely?
