Who here has high cholesterol?

Who has high cholesterol? Just had test done for life insurance and I was hit with high overall cholesterol. My ldl's are under 200 but my hdl is low, and my triglycerides are high at 168.
I pop 3 fish oils a day, exercise, take a spoon of olive oil or coconut oil a few times a week.
Could the triglycerides be due to carbohydrate intake and low fiber? Those are my only two obvious problems.

Forget the oils and just cut your carbs. Carbs turn into LDL and transported to fat cells once your liver's glycogen stores are full. Humans weren't made to consume massive quantities, only enough for 2 days energy.

My overall cholesterol is high but I have high HDLs and super low Triglycerides so my Dr. wasn't too concerned.
He said Triglycerides is a function of aerobic activity.

High triglycerides are often associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
Your LDL (bad) cholesterol should be 60-135 and your HDL (good) cholesterol greater than 45.
I take a combination of a low-dose statin and prescription niacin. Other than exercise, niacin is the only way to raise your HDL. My numbers have been good since I went on this regimen several years ago.

I would get your calcium score and check your particulate size. Your combination of readings isn't encouraging.
I'm on a statin - but even uncontrolled with a high overall number, I had a pretty manageable LDL range, my HDL has always been good and my triglycerides have been decent. My dad had all kinds of trouble with his triglycerides, especially after he developed Type II Diabetes - he had some blockages, an occlusion, needed a CABG - just the whole smash.

Had it. Started exercising/ running again and eating a little better and I'm good now.
It runs in my family so it's a harder fight than it should be. Definitely have to watch my cholesterol intake.

Mine is high just looking at numbers. But my ratio of total:hdl is good and my triglycerides are good. I don't worry too much about it since I'm in pretty good health.

Mmmm. What if one day we learn that cholesterol in the arteries is a reaction to inflammation on artery walls, there as a repair? And what if an 81mg baby aspirin would treat the inflammation in lieu of Big Pharma statins?
And what if the decrease in cholesterol (building block for neuron sheath in the brain) is tied to an increase in dementia?
Well, that was the thesis of a PHD who reviews other people's studies at a Pharmacy CE class I attended last year.

Get me a needle stuck in my stomach every two weeks. On a trail med to decrease LDL.
Yes it hurts.
Needle usually bends in my rock hard abs also.

My cholesterol was 300+, even at 10-12% body fat. Doc put me on lipitor, and it dropped to 220ish. I tried Keto for 2 months and it's now down to 140-150. I should be off the meds soon.
Everybody is different, but if I would have known then what I know now, I never would have taken the lipitor.
