Well, 46 isn't too young pay attention to cholesterol. Wish I had. Spent my 48th birthday in St. Joseph's cardio ICU recovering from bypass surgery brought on by arteries blocked with cholesterol. Fun times.
Pay attention now and get it under control. Don't be like me.
Good luck brother.

KenDberry YouTube. It’s not the meat that’s got you. Watch and learn and change the way you eat. It’s to easy for me and the Mrs.

I'm not sure I buy this...one man's opinion (M.D. ?) against a ton and years of cholesterol research.

There several "statin" meds to choose from and one may not affect a person as bad as another.
Also taking CoQ10 can help with muscle/joint soreness.

Go get a calcium heart scan. High cholesterol doesn't mean you have or will ha e problems. I've had high C since I was 22. One annual hazmat physical in 30 years it was under 200, and that was 199.
If you have no calcium/scale build-up, you are not at any higher risk of heart disease by not taking meds.
Read up on Sébastien Rushworth MD's articles on statins and the actual results of all the studies on their use.
Bottom line, they do lower your cholesterol, but they do not prolong your life, and incidents of coronary disease in the test group vs the placebo group was negligible.

Statins are poison. Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ken Berry and several others on YouTube provide a lot of good information.
Sugars, food additives, seed oils, and grains in excess are the worst things you can ingest. Eat real whole foods that do not cause inflammation. Your cholesterol levels do not matter. Its the inflammation that the cholesterol is repairing that is the problem.

I agree with this also my dr. Don’t won’t to hear it . But I believe it also that we are being sold a lie. I’ve been eating a carnivore diet and I’ve had a lot of improvements

I’ve been carnivore since July and I’m about to be off my BP medicine. A1C number is normal, glucose is normal, and all my numbers have improved greatly. It’s not just a fad.

Carnivore diet?
To wit:
Should the patient really get the drug?
In this article I discuss why doctors are so poor at weighing benefits vs harms of drugs, why this causes them to prescribe far too much, and what do about it.

@campboy, Here's a couple good articles by Dr. Rushworth on cholestero.

Is the cholesterol hypothesis dead?
A systematic review has just been published in Evidence Based Medicine that answers the question whether the cholesterol hypothesis is dead conclusively.

Do statins save lives?
They are the most prescribed drug ever. But do statins save lives? Do the benefits outweigh the harms? This article goes through the evidence.
