Tracking to avoid taking Statin!

I recently was shocked to find out my cholesterol was high, heart disease runs in my family
I had to beg my Dr. But she gave me 3 months to get it down, I went to see a dietician
& the diary breakdown of everything I eat really is invaluable. I am trying to do
Everything I can, I so do not want to go on a Statin. My Dr. Is stern & reminds me of heart
Disease & it is hereditary.
My cholesterol has been a little above normal before & I have always been able to get it
Down.
Does anyone else fight this right now?

Wow! Read a little more! I am in the same situation as you! I am 53 and my dr. is also giving me a few months to bring my cholesterol down to avoid going on medicine as well! And, heart disease runs in my family. Time to get this on the right trend!
Best to you, Kim0
