What are your thoughts on getting off statins after significantly improving my lifestyle by eating whole foods, exercising daily, and enhancing sleep habits, especially if my doctor doesn't want me to stop? This question is in reference to the episode Lies I Taught in Medical School with Dr. Robert Lufkin | 1179 | Dave Asprey and the clip Patient Empowerment Revolution.
I'm a 76-year-old male with no known catastrophic issues (old age aside). My cholesterol is high (according to current culture), and my arterial calcium deposits have been of concern to my cardiologist. He put me on statins, inserted three stents into my coronary arteries, and billed my insurance accordingly. I'm not enjoying the statins, the stents are there, and there's no perceivable change in anything. I'm really wanting to get off the drugs. However, almost all experts who slam statins, as well as those who encourage their use, never specify the condition of the patient for which the treatment is recommended. What should I consider in this situation?
