I have a question about this episode 10. The ULTIMATE bloodwork podcast! and this LDL and HDL Insights. My recent lipid panel was as follows: Total cholesterol 204, Triglycerides 95, HDL 60, VLDL 17, LDL 127, LDL/HDL ratio 2.1. I am already on a statin, and my doctor wants to add another medication to enhance the statin performance. She said she would like my LDL in the 80s, but I specifically remember high LDL levels in centenarians. Any insight on this?
