Specializes in Clinical Lipidology

Find and Fix Causes: First, identify the problem. Possible causes include; genetic (such as familial combined hyperlipidemia) and non-genetic (insulin resistance, type II diabetes, thyroid abnormalities, chronic kidney disease, alcohol use) conditions. Next, optimize diet / exercise and fix contributing factors. Medications, such as statins, are often needed.

Lifestyle: Diet low in cholesterol, saturated fats and trans fats. High fiber diet (50 grams daily). Regular cardiovascular exercise will help also. Weight loss if he's overweight.
