- Eat for heart health: Focus on whole foods like oats, nuts, fatty fish, olive oil, and plenty of vegetables. Limit processed foods and added sugars.
- Stay active: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, such as walking or swimming. Start slowly if you have muscle concerns.
- Manage weight and stress: Even small improvements in body composition and stress levels can positively influence cholesterol and energy.
- Monitor regularly: Schedule follow-up labs and check-ins to track progress.
These habits often allow some individuals to maintain good results with lower medication doses over time.
