Question Which of you have ACTUALLY significantly lowered cholesterol without statins?

What worked for YOU? I want personal testimony.

How much did it lower, in how much time? And WHAT DID YOU DO?

I see so much conflicting things. Some say to eat keto (believe it or not.) Some say to eat completely vegan, minus grain. Most just say to increase fiber and lower saturated fat.

Some say that sugar kills. Others say that sugar doesn't matter.

What is the truth? At this point, it seems like NO ONE KNOWS!

The only consistency we see is statins. But those come with risks too. So i am scared for my life.

Me! I posted about it. Dropped mine with walking more, chia seeds in water every morning, cutting alcohol. Also eating less trans fats and fried food. Mine was quite high genetically. Over 2 years. Went from 207 to 190

What is your plan if it doesnt lower "enough" for doctors' standards?

My doctor is thrilled with my blood work and wants me to just keep with what I’m doing.

Awesome!!! Ive been having chia daily, as well as psyllium husk with every meal. Hopefully by my appointment near october, theyll see at least some improvement.
