High cholesterol

Yes, since childhood. I also used to work at a cardiology office. I noticed a few of the doctors pushed vegan diets or plant based a few days a week. Around this time I also watched a documentary on Netflix, I think it was called “what the health” it was really informative. This motivated me to try a vegetarian diet. It is the only time I’ve managed to lower my cholesterol. Unfortunately when I got pregnant my cravings got me eating meat again. But I’ve considering going back to vegetarian again.

I had high cholesterol since my 20s. I got for regular checks with my PCP. This time, I didn’t change anything with my diet or exercise (I don’t exercise). The only thing I changed was switch from vegetable oil to avocado oil when I cook food. Now with the current results as of yesterday, my LDL and triglycerides(bad cholesterol) cut in half, it used to be over 200, now it’s 100 something. So I’m convinced it was just changing to a healthier oil.
