Medication: It is unlikely that lifestyle modifications and supplements would get your LDL to goal. You will likely need medications. Discuss with your doctor.

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

LDL treatment.: Unfortunately, this level of LDL necessitates more intensive treatment. Depending on your other medical issues, family history and habits, you may need your LDL as low as below 70, and flax seeds alone will not bring an LDL of 212 to below 70.
