Saw the heart doc. Preventive care is his study. Instant statin recommendation. Only concern is the cholesterol. Recommended south beach/Mediterranean diet. Recommended to maintain weight at healthy level. Keep working out.

Getting a particle count for ldl done. Won’t measure elasticity of arteries because “it doesn’t help”.

Btw. Don’t ever get a nuclear stress test for your heart unless absolutely necessary. 🫠

Statins and cholesterol are a scam.

Is something wrong with your heart that caused you to go to the doc?

Just family history. Dad’s dad died at 42 from heart attack, otherwise seemed healthy. Dad had massive attack at 60 and died for 30min on the table until they pushed the cath through and stinted. Mainly just anxiety around heart health. I ain’t takin’ pills though. Goign to stay my current course of exercise and maintaining a healthy weight and not eating processed garbage.

Family history is no joke, but good on you for taking a holistic approach.
