What can reduce the level of bad cholesterol?

Lifestyle : Diet, exercise & weight loss are first line strategies. If this is inadequate to reach reasonable LDL levels them medication. Plant based diets are extremely effective. Good luck.

Find and Treat Cause: As a lipidologist my first step is to determine why the LDL cholesterol is elevated. Several inherited and acquired medical conditions will affect LDL levels. Second, if related conditions are identified i would treat those while also starting diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications.
