I am a 60 y.o. 130lb 5'5" female. I have always struggled with high cholesterol. Recently had my bloodwork done:
Total 227
Tri 232
LDL 144
HDL 37 risk ration 3.88
I have been a low fat vegan for 8 years and raw 4.5 months. I really thought the numbers would have gone down. I walk 3-5 mi/day, climb 6 flights of stairs 3-4 x/day, do a power yoga video for 25 minutes daily. I take thyroid meds for low functioning thyroid. My doc wants me to take Red Yeast Rice. Am I missing something here. Thoughts, suggestions?

Alex
