I'm consistent, but perhaps not obviously. I said sometimes I listen to the doctor and sometimes I tell them to piss off. I did my best to explain how I decide on a case by case basis.

Cholesterol might kill you it might not. We need way more information than you'll get from a standard doctors blood panel to know your risk. Particle size and stickiness are both measurable and affect your risk. A typical doctor will just slap a statin on it without even measuring them though.

I'm eating just a hunk of beef for lunch. Serum cholesterol and dietary cholesterol are unrelated. This is another case where doctors "best practices" means following outdated advice because of the lawyers and inertia.

Good advice costs more. I have high cholesterol with tiny particles that are very sticky, results of the chronic stress from leaky gut and bad genes. My PCP never got those details. My specialist did test, and they recommended more red meat. Guess who I listen to? Guess who produces results?
