If I may ask, feel free to ignore, what medication was suggested? Ezetimibe by chance? If it's of any interest, I have had good results from red rice yeast

It's got legit science behind it, not just woo.

Just to give a couple examples.

Hi. Thanks for the information. I'm currently travelling home and will look later. I'm sure it's interesting.

I didn't let her get as far as prescribing anything. We decided on exercise and diet. Will look again in six weeks.

I don't exercise and I eat decent enough. Plus I believe a large part of my cholesterol is that it's inherited from my Mother that had it very bad.

See how we go.

Nice, yeah diet and exercise are def the best first steps and usually work wonders! Plus added benifits of just feeling better. Good luck on all that, it's well worth the effort
