I have a question about this episode Optimizing Your Health: Diagnostic Tests, Choosing a Doctor, Sleep, Longevity, Inflammation and More with Jordan Shlain MD and this Cholesterol Health Journey. I did my bloodwork and cholesterol came up super high: LDL 7.5, NON-HDL 8.2, HDL 1.35, Total Cholesterol 9.6, HDL Ratio 7.12, Triglycerides 1.68. The doctor wants to put me on statins, but at 38 years old, I don't feel comfortable with that. I've listened to many of your podcasts and experts opposing statins. I probably have Familial Hypercholesterolemia, as both my parents suffered from high cholesterol. If my CT score is not good enough, the doctor told me to start statins immediately. I know that statins can shorten life expectancy and damage cognitive brain function. However, I did an echo-radiology test, and my heart results were excellent. Should I go on statins, or should I approach a more aggressive diet/lifestyle? Are statins the only way if I am diagnosed with Familial Hypercholesterolemia?
