Doctors can help: One's primary care doctor can help, and a patient can get a second opinion from a Lipidologist if needed (often is a Cardiologist or Preventive Medicine doctor very interested in cholesterol problems). In general, if a substance (medication, supplement, herb, or whatever) is strong enough to cause drops in one's cholesterol levels, it will have some undesirable effects too. That's the way life is.

Diet and exercise: Avoid saturated fats. lose weight and exercise at least 150 minute/week. You may find that it it easier to take statin medication than trying to lose weight.
