65 year old female total cholesterol 239 hdl 76 ldl 140 trig. 116 should i be on a cholesterol lowering medication?

Integrated medicine: Number oriented doctors will start you on medications. LDL is supposed to be below 100 & if diabetic below 70. Total cholesterol below 200. If you do not have any other cardiac risk,& HDL being 76 try lifestyle modification- mediterranean diet & regular exercises.For natural agents which can reduce LDL Refer to drhoffman.com
