My HDL LDL total was 421 in November.... advice?
Beyond taking Statin, was going to supplement vitamin C, fiber, and keep prioritizing cardio over lifting and muscle growth. Doctor says I have insane numbers though, probably family/genetic. Was 330 when I was 12 for example.
Omega 3 with every single meal (NOW! Ultra Omega 3 - 2x per meal)
Red Yeast Rice (NOW! brand) - 2x with every meal
Plant Sterols (NOW! brand) - 2x with every meal
Continue vitamin C (NOW! C-1000, 3x / day)
Vitamin d3+k2 (NOW! Brand - 5,000iu - 2x / day)
Greatly decrease any type of saturated fat and utilize as much good unsaturated fat as possible ie: olive oil. Eliminate sugars/carbs when consuming fats, specifically saturated fats. IE: if consuming red meat, avoid simple carbs at least 2 hours prior to and 4 hours after consumption.
As usual, consume plenty of water as well, at least 1 gal/day.
