A member asked:

I'm a 25y/o f, weighing 120lbs, i eat relatively healthy with some exercise. cholesterol:250;hdl:104;ldl:124. is it possible to fix without medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need to fix.: Your numbers are great; your HDL is fantastic and your LL is acceptable. Doing the math, your triglycerides is on target as well. Keep up the good work. Your total cholesterol belies that fact that your underlying cholesterol profile is quite healthy.
