@Nords, thank you for sharing all of this information. I'm a data scientist, so love your chart in the first post :) I was wondering what lifestyle interventions you have found most effective in managing your cholesterol until now - I would also like to put off a statin as long as possible. You’re ...

Why are side-effect driven drugs sought when natural and lifestyle habit changes can fix the problem without dangerous side effects? @AnnieV, as the original poster of this thread, I hope it's understood that I'm researching a reasonably reliable statin (with fewer side effects, and in a minimal do...

Nords, Have you done the 14 hour fasting Dr. Bredesen says APOE4 must do? That alone dropped my VLDL and Trigs massively, same for my APOE4/4 mother, in just a month or so of time. (Vitamin C is a natural statin, it has none of the statin drug side effects like depleting CoQ10 either....) I'd faste...

Here is Dayspring's X post on the topic.

Thanks, Tincup.

Maybe the answer depends upon the specific chemistry of each individual. I read Lipitor, Thief of Memory long ago. Also with a half-dozen different types of statins (and a couple newer options for lowering apoB) I think the studies are going to need another decade or two before there's a clear trend.

Thanks, @Tincup, I think I'm on the right track with the food recommendations. It's interesting looking up the APOE and statins keywords in Outlive. Attia specifically mentions a bunch of lifestyle standards for APOE4s (exercise, diet) and never mentions statins. He specifically mentions a bunch of ...

Long post alert: 900 words. I've read through the last couple years of statins posts, and it's probably better to start a new thread with these questions. I write to make sense of my life, and sharing it here helps me write. This time it’s age-related humblewhining about Dr. Attia’s “Outlive” chapte...

My concerns are: 1) I would be revealing information about my mom that she doesn't want to know, which means she probably wouldn't want other people to know. 2) I have no way of knowing whether my half-siblings would want to know, and they may not. So there's the chance that I'll be doing them harm...

...and presumably make me ineligible for long term or life insurance. @Kurt.2, before you decide on sharing your genome with your doctor, you might want to consider whether you want long-term care insurance in the first place. In America I'm cautiously encouraged by today's permanent (largely whole...

Should I just MYOB? How should I be handling this? Should we just be living our best lives and cross whatever bridges there are when we get to them? I'm 4/4 and I'll turn 62 years old next month. On our family history, father passed away from Alzheimer's and his father dealt with dementia. My other...
