High cholesterol: Medications are not the first line for managing high cholesterol, that would be lifestyle modifications. Most providers will discuss your results after initial blood work and recommend eating a healthy diet and exercising. They will then recheck blood work in 3 months to determine your progress. Now for people with known heart disease and other issues, medications may need initiation earlier.

MFO ; RYR: You can use good quality marine fish oil to lower triglycerides and red yeast rice to lower ldl. Some folks need one or the other, some both. Nutrition accounts for 15 to 20 % of lab results, the rest is familial.
