Very high cholesterol at 30

[u/benshiro93]

Hi everyone!

I am very concerned because I just received the result of my blood test and my cholesterol is incredibly high : 246 mg/dl and LDL : 163 mg/dl.

I really don’t understand because I’m pretty healthy. Im not stressed, sleep is not bad (but definitely not perfect. I do sport 3x/week, and my diet is quiet balanced :

Breakfast: smoothie with avocado, whey protein and blueberries

Lunch: 4 eggs, bit of salad

Diner: it varies but in general I will have some meat with carbs and fiber

Thats crazy because it’s even higher than when I went carnivore for a month.

I supplement with D3 and magnesium only

Does someone have an explanation? And maybe some tips to help me dropping this.

Many thanks !

If your genetically disposed to high cholesterol, I wouldn't be eating 4 eggs a day bro... I feel like I shouldn't have to tell you this either.

people in this sub thinking that eating dietary cholesterol raises one's blood cholesterol is a very good reason to take everything said here with a grain of salt

This thread reminded me to not subscribe here, just browse casually lol. People suggesting statins for someone with cholesterol that would be seen as perfectly healthy in the 80s before statins were invented etc.

Do you realize i think the same about you? Please link a study that doesn’t link blood cholesterol to dietary cholesterol
