    Before I went vegan 7 yrs. ago, my cholesterol was 275. It went down to 210, but despite being strickly "whole food plant based", my cholesterol won't budge. My mother has late onset dementia, so this is concerning. I do also have hypothyroidism. Just wonder if I should take a statin as a precaution?

      No, it's the statins that cause dementia. You need to drop the plant diet and go keto or carnivore. Also get a LDL test to see if they compose of the small LDL(dangerous) or large LDL(healthy).

    I have always had high cholesterol except twice when I got really super thin. I am a vegan and yet I just had my blood taken and my total is 231. I do not want to go on meds because I am also on thyroid medication for Hashimotos. I am almost 56, female. Don't know what to do anymore.

      We are definitely not against medication when it’s needed. Your numbers seem to be high and it should definitely be addressed by your general practitioner. A combination of whole food plant-based as well as medication may be what’s needed. It’s important that your physician ,who knows the specifics of situation, helps guide you in that journey. Much love to you in this journey!

    I have always had high cholesterol. All my family had, my mom and dad's. I'm tall and thin just like my family, don't eat a lot of fat or carbs, little sugar, practice exercises. And it doesn't affect my cholesterol level

      You should definitely follow it closely, and if it’s possible to lower the LDL below 70 work through diet as it’s been shown to have long-term effect on cognition and other vascular phenomenon.

      In terms of diet, you may want to include foods that help the body clean up cholesterol: beans, oats etc. Some experts advice eating both daily!
      If that doesn't help enough, you may want to start on cholesterol lowering drugs that your physician may want to prescribe.

    How can a person lower the LDL cholesterol?

    • @TheBrainDocs
      @TheBrainDocs  Рік тому +4

      By eating a diet, low in saturated, fat, and sugar, but there are occasions that people have familial, high cholesterol, where they have to take medication. Irrespective, if you have high cholesterol, you should definitely be seen by a physician to work with you to lower it, as it significantly increases one’s risk of dementia and strokes.

    LDL cholesterol is much more complicated than what is commonly known, even by many who have special education in this field:
    The LDL particle size, and determining if the LDL is oxidized or not, are just some of the right questions you have to ask, see also:

      Respectfully, this is absolutely garbage science. We do the research both at the clinical, and nutritional level. We’ve done the peer review data analysis. There’s absolutely no meaningful evidence that the brain needs exogenous cholesterol. Just two months ago we finished a comprehensive review which was published in American journal of lifestyle medicine that the only fats, the brain needs exogenously, is omega-3‘s. The rest is just self confirming science pushed by invested parties. Much love!
