High Cholesterol

I have a family history of heart disease so my GP agreed to check my cholesterol. It’s come back at 6.5 and I’ve been told to make an appointment.
I’m slim, very active and have a healthy diet. At 56 it’s going to be Statins isn’t it? The note on my records also advises I need to repeat the test because my liver function was a bit off.
Im so fed up

I'm a dietitian with high cholesterol, likely due to genetics and menopause. I do what I can with lots of cholesterol lowering foods, exercise etc.
I've had many patients who have high cholesterol, have been offered statins, but want to try lifestyle changes first.

If it helps, I've written a free downloadable 'cheat sheet' of cholesterol lowering foods with lots of example meals and snacks. All evidence based.
Cholesterol Lowering foods.
You need to enter your email and phone number to download it, apologies, I can't seem to change that. Promise not to spam anyone!

Hi is it possible to get a copy of this? Thank you!
