We’re not attempting to diagnose your condition here but sharing information that we think you’ll find interesting. You can then be able to be more informed, know where you can do further research and also use it as a talking point with your GP. If you have severe levels of cholesterol you may find the information helpful, but you should be consulting your physician to see if any of these things will help you.

First of all, if you’re concerned about anything to do with your health - get a blood test. There are plenty of companies online who offer broad spectrum blood tests.

Role of Diet From the research, it’s not possible for them to draw a link between high-fat diets and cholesterol levels. We can get into statins on another video, but our critique is unfortunately you see your GP for a short period of time and they don’t have the availability to discuss things you can do to reduce your cholesterol. This is why they may just suggest you come back in a few weeks to have the levels checked again. There is possibility to improve your cholesterol levels and lower long-term risk of mortality.

Ketogenic Diet This is a high-fat diet. The participants of the study were on a low-carb, high-fat diet for 56 weeks. Identifying the long-term consequences of a low-carb diet and impact on cholesterol levels. They were able to lower cholesterol and lower the BMI as well. This doesn’t give you a free pass to eat burgers and cheese, but there’s lots of scope to have a balanced diet. There has been a war on high-fat diets over the last few decades, but low-fat items can be replaced with sugar. There was a time when doctors endorsed smoking Camel cigarettes!

Exercise Low-grade aerobic exercise such as walking doesn’t have the same impact as resistance training. Slightly more intense exercise seems to have a much better effect in the long-run. The 10,000 steps a day is still important!
