For YEARS, my cholesterol has been high. When I weighed less and more. When eating healthily and stress-eating. Doctors always told me to eat better and lose weight.
Two months ago, I started a low dose of a statin. Just got bloodwork. My cholesterol is normal for the first time since my early 20s.

Great for cholesterol
My cholesterol was always high, yet I had to ask my doctor for a statin. I thought they would see the bloodwork and make me take it. Nope. Had to ask. Cholesterol was great after starting atorvastatin (Lipitor). Should have been done years ago.
The one plus side of my mom dealing with high cholesterol for years is I can definitively tell doctors “this runs in my family so it’s likely genetic”
