Hi there,

I dont have a personal experience with cholesterol but my dads family all have heart issues and were told one of the best ways to keep it down was being mindful of the amount of meat and dairy you have in your diet. I know yours is family run too but it might be something worth looking into, I have been a vegetarian for a long time now and haven't had any issues like my dad/grandfather my bloods always (for this anyways) always come back good.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this - thinking of maybe looking at a Mediterrainian Diet - may help.
