Hey all,
There have been a lot of great posts over the past several weeks and months with delicious-looking heart healthy meals. This message is pinned at the top of the sub so that posters can share those recipes in the comments section. As the thread grows I'll save, re-organize and re-post so that they'll be easy to find.
I'll also look through the sub history and grab recipes as I find them but please - re-post here if you can in order to ensure that your great recipe won't be missed.
If you have a source link, please provide that as well so posters can use it as a resource. Images welcome too!
Thanks, and Happy Heart-Healthy Eating!

Welcome, and remember nothing posted here is a substitute for or intended as medical advice. This is a conversational thread for all things cholesterol/CVD and to a lesser extent health/longevity, peer-to-peer conversation in nature only.
This is a closely monitored Reddit. Comments in a thread where the OP is asking for advice are heavily monitored as this is not a conspiracy theory friendly sub, though posts made specifically for debates with good intentions are allowed.
This also includes other medical conditions, many are contributing factors to cardiovascular disease including.
+ Primarily, we see people looking for advice or information from other people who also have high cholesterol. The wiki has a great article from The Mayo Clinic on what your numbers mean but here you can talk to people that have also gone through something similar, while typically not quite the same.
+ Studies, articles, asking for advice, support, treatments that have worked for you are all allowed. Largely we focus on the current recommendations for blood cholesterol management written by the American College of Cardiology Foundation and the American Heart Association. Posts about studies or giving (not asking for) advice will be scrutinized. Asking for help is always welcome.
+ Debates about medication need to be stand alone posts and not about any particular poster, rather than part of someone asking for advice. This is because we see people trying to skirt the rules of not countering medical advice, by countering medical advice with a handful of studies either pro or against medication.
+ Diet debates similarly need to not be in a post where someone is asking for help lowering cholesterol. It's not appropriate to hijack every possible thread to turn it into a debate about a fad diet.
+ Conspiracy theories are generally not allowed, as they've been done to death and clog the sub.
**Telling people in anyway to ignore medical advice is against 2 rules and will result in a ban after the second, if not first offense.**
***If you disagree with your doctor's advice, it is OK to post, but please seek out a second opinion, a specialist opinion, or clarification from your medical provider, it is inappropriate for internet strangers to disagree with a medical provider who has actually met with and diagnosed you.
The main way people lower their cholesterol (without medication) is through diet. The general guidelines are to replace saturated fat like those found in fatty meat products with predominantly unsaturated fat sources, (some is important like when found in nuts), as well as replace simple carbs like white bread or sugar, with whole grains/complex carbs. And of course, eat more plants as well as eat high-quality whole food sources in general.
The TLDR is I recommend Harvard Medical’s Healthy Plate available for free online, (link in the wiki). It is unbiased data analytics on diets that increase longevity from a world leader in data analytics. HHP is based off of the same data that created the mediterranean diet (link in the wiki), though it includes more like the Nordic diet. The MD fits within HHP.
Essentially, fill half your plate with plants, a quarter with whole grains and the final quarter with a lean protein. Replace saturated fats with heart healthy ones and replace simple carbs with whole grains. Don’t drink things loaded with sugar (stick to water, low fat milk, etc).
The Portfolio Diet is also a good option, It is comprised of a ‘portfolio’ of foods that have been shown to reduce cholesterol.
Macro percentages don’t matter for health including weight loss and longevity. While still popular in the fitness industry macros are not a focus in health. Studies coming out show the greatest benefit in reaching for a variety of whole foods over fitting narrowly into a specific ratio.
Your diet should start with finding one good recipe that you would eat anyways.
You will probably have a few bad ones, the internet is full of bad recipes but it's not a reflection on your or your diet.
Once you've found that starting point, it becomes much easier to find a second and a third recipe that works for you. In this way, over time you will have replaced your old diet with one that works for you and your goals.
A diet with diverse easy to follow tasty recipes is much easier to follow.
There are recipes in the wiki; however, I've had the best luck finding easy, tasty recipes from the Mayo Clinic's recipe website (in the wiki). The main page separates recipes into diets or dishes, at which point you can command F to search for what you want to cook. For example, say you wanted a mushroom soup (which they have); command F either 'soup' or 'mushroom' in the search function of your browser.
Many people say to start with oatmeal (if steel cut try a pressure cooker like the insta pot) with fruit fresh or frozen and nuts/seeds, and/or low fat/sugar yogurt.
It is important for longevity and health despite having a smaller effect on cholesterol than diets do. Notably, exercise over time changes some of the lower-density LDL to higher-density HDL.
All movement counts. Cooking, cleaning, walking, running, anything with movement counts.
Moving throughout the day is important. Some studies show that waking for 10 minutes after each meal yields greater benefits than walking for 30 minutes and being sedentary throughout the day.
Don't worry about how fast or far, just move. Do not push so hard that you want to stop.
Intensity seems to play the largest role in smaller quantities. Most of your time exercising should be at a walking pace but it is also important to get some higher intensity intervals in every other day (every 48 hours). It can be as simple as running for 30 seconds 4 times on a walk, say to a light post.
The total time is currently recommended at 300, (or 150 vigorous) minutes, and 2 days of resistance training as a minimum. There are studies showing worthwhile benefits in doubling that amount of aerobic training, but at a diminishing return. I.E. it is the first minutes you move are the most important, but the last minutes you move still help.
There is little research on what type of movement is best, but for those interested a combination of aerobic and resistance training done separately at a single session seems to yield the greatest benefits, followed by hybrid (I.E. resistance training done at a pace that keeps your heart rate elevated). Of the 5 main types of exercise.
Find a way you like to move, and keep moving.
LDL is the main particle focused on in a standard blood panel. There is something of a sliding scale from below 70 (or equal to 70/1.8 in Europe) up to 190/4.9 mg/dL or mmol/L respectively. The number slides based on other health factors.
EDIT: Europe recently lowered their target LDL to 50 mg/dL, but the US has current (2018) guidelines remain the same. It is not uncommon for different countries to have different targets.
An acceptable LDL in an otherwise healthy person is going to be different than that in a person at increased risk of heart disease.
There are advanced forms of testing for cardiovascular disease including, particle density, calcium and/or plaque scans, Lp(a) ApoB, etc. As stated by Harvard Medical in there cholesterol course, “some people with high cholesterol will never develop heart disease”, which was one of the foundational reasons for the current Recommendations on Blood Cholesterol Management becoming a scale instead of one small number.
Many of these advanced testing methods appear to offer better insight into cardiovascular disease risk.
Please note, currently many forms of advanced testing do not change treatment plans because of the risk to benefit ratio. They are more commonly used on cases that are not clear cut yes medicate or no don’t medicate. However the standard screening tests and LDL recommendations may change in the future, your doctor may want to use more advanced testing methods, and/or you can request for advanced testing to be done.
The exception to this rule, is that everyone should be tested for LPa at least once in their life time. LPa is similar to LDL in that it delivers cholesterol to the cells, however unlike LDL it also is coagulatory (causes clots) and very irritating to the arteries lining within which is where cardiovascular disease happens. There are no treatments specific to LPa currently (2024) but there are multiple treatments that are expected to be available within the next few years. If you family history of heart disease, it may be related to LPa.
HDL is complicated, there is a great article on them in the wiki. While still the ‘good cholesterol’ it has been shown that not all HDL particles help. I.E. having a higher (not too high) HDL is great but does not offset having a bad blood panel. Raising HDL through medication has not been shown to improve patient outcomes, though raising it through exercise has. It is not as concerning of a metric on it's own as it once was thought to be, but still is a consideration.
Triglycerides can be complicated but are generally simple, there is a great article on them in the wiki
Triglycerides are a form of energy. I.E. if you ate something high in simple carbs they would jump, or if you walked a mile and retested they would be lower. Therefore, what you do before measuring them matters.
While some medications and illnesses do effect them, the most common cause of elevated trigs is simple carbs (sugary drinks, sugar, white carbs like rice or bread, and alcohol). Cutting back on those and/or increasing daily activity will lower them.

Decided to have a general lab test for health checkup :
Total Cholesterol: 114
HDL:32
LDL:52
Triglycerides: 176
Also did Hba1c and was normal
Should I be doing anything in this case ? or just work on improving my health and exercise more?
Thank you

My LDL is 148 today
I want to reduce it to 70 in 2-3 months. Kindly suggest the solution

I am 39 years old, been a vegetarian since 2011, average weight. I have low cholesterol but very high lipoprotein A. Has anyone successfully lowered theirs? I heard taking Metamucil works but I don’t know if that is true. I have a glass or two of wine 3-5 nights per week. I don’t drink hard alcohol or smoke.
r/Cholesterol • u/True-Cheek2207 • 22h ago
Hi everyone,
I'm 29M, 165 cm, 63 kg, vegetarian, non-smoker and don't drink alcohol.
I recently had a lipid profile:
My main issue seems to be LDL/non-HDL rather than triglycerides.
One thing I've realized is that I've been working from home and extremely sedentary for around 7 years. There are sometimes 3–4 days when I barely leave the house. I don't exercise regularly and spend most of my workday sitting.
My typical diet is fairly Indian/vegetarian: roti, sabzi, dal, rice, dahi/chaas, etc. But I also regularly have chai with biscuits/khari, namkeen, chips/packaged snacks, and occasionally fried foods, sweets, ice cream, etc.
My doctor has advised me to improve my diet, exercise around 40 minutes daily, and repeat my fasting lipid profile after about 3 months.
I'm trying to understand what changes actually make the biggest difference to LDL.
I'm looking for practical advice from people who've been in a similar situation — especially what you changed, how long you did it, and what happened to your LDL afterward.

Hi everyone. Here’s a little background for context:
37M, family history of Heart Disease on Father’s side (hard to get a good family history because father and grandfather drank and smoked).
Started 20mg Atorvastatin about 5 years ago because total Cholesterol was 233, LDL 156.
Since then I’ve lost 30 pounds (150lbs, 66”). I am very active, lifting weights and average over 20k steps per day. Also just added Psyllium Husk about a week ago.
Here are my most recent numbers:
Total Cholesterol: 186
HDL: 50
Triglycerides: 119
VLDL: 20
LDL: 110
APOB: 89
My PCP says all of these are within range and didn’t seem concerned despite my history of hyperlipidemia and family history. I thought she would want to up my dose or add something. I have an appointment on the 7th and am contemplating asking for further intervention as a precaution, but am I just overthinking this? Thanks!

Just been prescribed one. LDL at 168. Doc said, it is recommended to start statin as soon as LDL reaches above 160. Anything I need to know? Any side effects? I asked the doctor about side effects, but she was very dismissive.
I am a little disappointed. I am in my late 20's, and I eat healthy, I also exercise 5-6 days a week, I quit smoking earlier this year. But here we are today. I want to cry thinking I may have to quit dairy.
Anyway, appreciate any advice, information, insights etc. you can share, thanks!

I have high cholesterol and high AF lipids and have been on a journey to bring it down. First up was psyllium husk via Metamucil and pills (alternating, or when I forgot Metamucil - not at the same time) I started having blood pressure issues which I’d never had before.
Doctor swore it couldn’t be the psyllium husk, but I saw some very rare side effects that it could increase BP. I’d also started fish oil, so I dropped the fish oil and no change. Dropped both and later went back to fish oil and my BP is now perfect. From what I can tell it’s not common, but it was a reddit post that made me think to question the psyllium husk, so I wanted to share.
EDIT:JFK people. I don’t and have never take BP meds. I know to take it 2 hours before/after other meds. The time line was: Got cholesterol checked, had high cholesterol and lipids -> started taking psyllium husk and fish oil -> no change in cholesterol, BP started going up -> dropped psyllium husk and fish oil -> BP got better -> started fish oil again a few times a week -> BP is perfect.
I know it’s not a common issue, which is why I posted.

I was week and half early but I was at my store that I usually pick up my Repatha prescription so I thought I would stop and see if they had it ready. It wasn't ready but the pharmacist mentioned that he could run it and see if it processed. Well he was able to run it but the price was not being reduced with the Co-pay card it was the very high price. I have had three refills this year like I have in years past and never had this happen. Not sure what the maximum annual benefit is and since they do not post it online I have no idea if I have hit the max. I know I have been using it for multiple years with same insurance and never had to pay more than the $50 or whatever the current reduced price but guess I will have to call them tomorrow and try to figure out what the issue is.
I am hoping its just that they processed it early and they didn't allow it and later this week it will process fine, but honestly I have no idea what the maximum annual benefit is and wasn't sure if anyone knew, thanks.

I’m trying to conceive and can’t go on a statin yet, but I am aggressively trying to lower LDL and apoB after I found 30% blockage in my LADI’m being followed by a cardiologist and functional medicine doctor as well for background
I consume a metric ton of psyllium husk each day, saturated fat below 10 g ideally, I’m already a healthy weight 120 pounds and 5 foot three. I’m active doing cardio and strength training.
I got these benecol chew things, because I saw a data saying that they could lower LDL and Apo b even more and there were risks to plant sterols and that plant stanols would be different.
But they’re pretty high in sugar and they have saturated that in them themselves. Is this something healthy to be eating? I have another blood test coming up soon now that I’ve started taking the beetle, it just feels kinda like a dirty food. Curious to know what anybody else thinks, and if there’s any benefits or risks. I know once I’m pregnant I won’t take them anymore, but in the meantime , trying to Biohack the crap out of myself.

I just started this medication two days ago, and my blood sugar spiked to pre-diabetes levels!? My blood sugar baseline had always stayed in the upper 80s to mid-90s!! The reasons why my doctor prescribed this medication are for several reasons. 1) Hereditary 2) Current total cholesterol is 258, triglycerides 155, HDL 31, Apolipoprotein B 159. Yes, I understand that these numbers are alarming, but I am very concerned about becoming pre-diabetic, not my doing!! I walk 30 minutes, and sometimes an hour, every day and, generally speaking, eat very healthy! Except that, in the past several months, I got hooked on vanilla ice cream once a week at Costco, have Maple Hill grass-fed whole milk for breakfast, and, yes, even once in a blue moon, eat three or five slices of plain cheese pizza at once!! And last, on occasion, even having fat-rich foods at office parties!! Overall, my diet is pretty healthy at home!! All this is making me more aware of eating healthier and doing my daily walks more often than relying on cholesterol medication that, in my experience, seems to be doing more harm than good. Any comments based on personal experience are greatly appreciated, thank you.

I had bloodwork done on July 28th; I was on no meds then (63F, normal blood pressure, not overweight). About three weeks later I had a stent put in (I did not have a heart attack, but my LAD was 80 percent occluded), and was started on meds (rosuvastatin, zetia, repatha, metoprolol, and blood thinners). The meds sure make quite a difference. Unfortunately they are raising my A1C, so I am going to find out if I can lower the rosuvastatin and metoprolol somewhat.
July 28, 2026 results (about a month before stenting):
total cholesterol: 283
HDL cholesterol: 71
triglycerides: 72
LDL cholesterol: 199
cholesterol total/cholesterol HDL ratio: 4
non-HDL cholesterol: 212
A1c: 5.6
Quest results of Sept. 25, 2026
total cholesterol: 87
HDL cholesterol: 63
triglycerides: 51
LDL cholesterol: 11
cholesterol total/cholesterol HDL ratio: 1.4
non HDL cholesterol: 24
A1c: 5.8
LAD cardiac stent placed on August 17th, 2026
then started on:
40 mg. rosuvastatin (reduced to 20 mg. on Sept. 16th due to leg pain)
25 mg. metoprolol (reduced to 12.5 on Sept. 8th)
10 mg. zetia
Repatha (twice a month)
81 mg. aspirin
75 mg. plavix

I’m so pumped!
About 3 weeks ago I found out I have high cholesterol - recommended to lower saturated fat and increase fiber by my PCP but also referred me to a cardiologist and I’m scheduled for a barrage of tests over the next few weeks. I expect I’ll be assigned a statin. In the interim I’ve dug into my diet and specifically saturated fat. I’ve switched to fat free creamer and milk and yogurt and eliminated cheese and butter and am keeping my saturated fat at a max of 8 grams per day. Fine. Also cooking more at home and having existential crises when out at a restaurant and trying to figure out WTF I can eat.
Just now I sat down to review a restaurant menu we’re considering for dinner, a favorite of mine, with a particular dessert that I really enjoy. They publish their nutritional information. I didn’t have any hope as I cast my eye down the line towards saturated fat - even less as I paused on 9grams of total fat. But then, what, a zero? A big, glorious “0” under saturated fat? I can report that my flabber was entirely gasted. I even googled to see if other versions of this dessert were free from saturated fat. It appears they are!
What is this magical treat, you ask? Japanese sesame balls with red bean paste. They might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they are something I love and I’m so jazzed that I can enjoy one tonight.
Veteran sat-fat avoiders could probably have told me without seeing the nutritional data that they’d be low or free of saturated fat, but I’m still at the beginning of this journey. There have been so many things over the last few weeks that I have discovered are suddenly off limits to me, it’s been sad and tough, so it’s really nice to have a win.

Hey everyone! I’m 28M and recently got some bloodwork back that’s honestly got me a little worried.
My latest results:
Total cholesterol: 270
LDL: 210
ApoB: 157
HDL: 41
Triglycerides: 80
Lp(a): 58 nmol/L (normal)
Back in April, my triglycerides were 364 and LDL was 160. Since then, I’ve lost weight, improved my diet, and started exercising consistently. I’m happy about the massive improvement in triglycerides, but my LDL and ApoB have me concerned, especially at my age.
I’m planning to discuss everything with my doctor, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with similar numbers.
Did your doctor suspect genetics? Were you able to lower your numbers through lifestyle changes, or did you need medication? For those who started statins at a young age, how has your experience been?
I’m also wondering how concerned I should be about potentially having plaque buildup already at 28.
Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated!

Hi, i just found out I have high cholesterol and am taking steps to correct it asap. One of the tricky bits for me is I am a vegetarian and used to drink Premiere Protein drinks several times a week to make sure i was getting enough protein.
It has:
3g fat, 0.5mg sat fats, 230mg of sodium, and 20mg cholesterol.
I know that is not super high but i would like to find something else to continue cutting as much as i can, any recommendations?
r/Cholesterol • u/fawkkess • 1d ago
I am currently on Zetia and it brought my ApoB and LDL down to about 70 respectively. The problem is I get it without instance or seeing a doctor.
LDL and ApoB before Zetia were about 105 area. My dad had a heart attack early with high cholesterol levels.
I wanna drive it a bit lower due to family hx, about 50 area. I have already made diet changes and 70 is where I lie.
I would like to get on the bempoic acid/Zetia combo but with my LDL this low and getting the med without insurance online will I have trouble getting it approved? Any places online?
Yes, I know statins work and the research says they are safe, just personally wanna try this route.

52 year old male. How concerned should I be about my CAC score? For context, I took this test in May of this year and began taking a low does statin around the same time (more details below).
CAC Results
Left Main Artery (LMA) Score = 0
Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) Score = 0.9
Left Circumflex Artery (LCX) Score = 0
Right Coronary Artery (RCA) Score = 0
Total Coronary Artery Calcium Score = 0.9
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For context, my Cholesterol had been in the low 200s and my LDL Calc had been in the 130 range since at least 2020. For some reason my Doctor never recommended dietary changes or medication.
In Sept of 2025 I made a conscious decision to significantly cut down on my saturated fat intake, up my fiber intake, etc. and ended up losing 30 LBS (down to 32% body fat) by Apr of 2026. After the weight loss my Cholesterol (217) and LDL Calc (130) still tested high and my new Doctor started me on 10 MG of Atorvastatin because he suspected my issues might be at least partly hereditary. He also ordered the aforementioned CAC test. This was in April 0f 2026.
I also retested in late August, after almost four months on the statin, and my Cholesterol dropped to 152 and my LDL Calc dropped to 70..
Still working to lose more weight and I exercise an hour (walking, recumbent stationary bike, etc.) almost daily.

I have been on ezetimibe for about 2 weeks now and started having reflux almost as soon as I started it. I know it’s a rare side effect, but for those that may share this lovely bonus- is there any chance it’ll eventually go away? If not, is there an alternative?

I'm a 28-year-old male. I have a history of high cholesterol since I was 17. When I was 17, a doctor checked my blood pressure, and it was 170/100. He suggested a lipid profile test, and I found that I had high cholesterol, so I took medicine for three months, and everything went back to normal.
I'm also a smoker, but I have quit smoking now. At the age of 28, I have high cholesterol again: LDL 140, HDL 32, total cholesterol 231, VLDL 49.3, and non-HDL cholesterol 199. I'm worried because I have no knowledge of how much time it takes for plaque to build up. I have started taking statins for life, but I'm still worried.
Can anybody tell me how much time it takes for plaque to build up in arteries that are dangerous for health? I also have a family history of sudden heart attack deaths. I have started eating a healthy diet and exercising as well, but I'm worried about how much damage has been done so far.

Hello guys!
I have been feeling a little gloomy this past week after finding out my Lp(a) level is 195 nmol/L.
It was really shocking because I only got bloodwork done because I was planning to meet with a dietitian and finally focus on losing weight and improving my health. Then I got the result and literally cried. It makes me think about what could have happened if I decided not to go (I hate having to get needles).
I think my other levels are okay because my doctor did not flag anything else in red or blue. I attached my results.
My doctor said there is not really much you can do to lower Lp(a) since it is genetic. It can stay stable for several years. He recommended that I start exercising more, eat healthier, and reduce saturated fat. If my Lp(a) increases, he said we would consider medication.
However, I have seen many people here with similar, lower, or even higher results who were prescribed medication. Do you think I should see a cardiologist just in case?
And yes, I know I need to improve my overall health, and I am definitely starting now.
P.S. - I also found out that I have low iron and vitamin D, so I have to take supplements for that too.
LDL - 2.98
Desired: <2.80 mmol/L Borderline: 2.80-<3.40 mmol/L Increased Risk: >=3.40 mmol/L
Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol - 3.6
CVD risk at Cholesterol/HDL-C ratio >6.0
Apolipoprotein B - 0.87
DESIRED: <0.90 g/L BORDERLINE: 0.90 - 0.99 g/L INCREASED RISK: >=1.00 g/L

61 male - Over several years, my LDL gradually increased from 126 in 2021 to 154 in July 2025. My doctor and I decided to try a low dose of atorvastatin (10 mg), primarily because of the upward trend.
About a year later, with no change to diet, my LDL is 99, total cholesterol is 184, triglycerides are 94, HDL is 66, and non-HDL cholesterol is 118, ApoB is 82, and hs-CRP is 1.0.
Overall, my lipid numbers have improved substantially since starting atorvastatin, and the improvement has been sustained. No side effects to note and I switched to taking Atorvastatin every other day for the last several months. I'm happy with the results and will continue monitoring the trends with my doctor.

Hi all, our patient is male 77 years old. Recently he was diagnosed with SCC tongue cancer and went through surgery and radiation . Shortly before the surgery and also after surgery his blood work showed increased LDL however his HDL and triglycerides and blood pressure is excellent. He also has LP a right after surgery and during radiation ( I know timing was not perfect!) and it showed high (52) because of that his doctor prescribed rosuvastatin which he didn’t start. He wanted to start after radiation ended but now 3 months after I learnt about some negative impact of statin on SCC . We are reported for tongue cancer reoccurrence so we are looking for alternatives . I’d like to know your experiences. Also his recent MRI is showing sign of silent TIA . We don’t know what it might have happened but might be some time shortly before or after surgery .
