Holding off statins challenge 🙄

[Lillykims]

Hi...happy new year🥰

My annual check showed my nhs cholesterol level at 13 whatever that means but should be under 10 so I said I will seriously try to lower this myself as statins buggered my leg muscles up. Given me 6 months and if not lower suggest I try a different one, which I really don’t want to do 🙁 So a good breakfast for a healthy start to try to lower it with lifestyle changes and improvements. Off shopping for grapefruit, avocado and no processed baddies 😇

Hello,

What is the unit of measurement for your cholesterol?

UK, NHS cholesterol numbers are very different!

Good luck - keep us posted..

Weight gain and raised cholesterol can be linked to low thyroid function. Hopefully you have been correctly tested ... often NHS testing is woefully inadequate.
