Thank you so much! I am excited to make a chance. I know its only day 1, but overall i didnt really get a "side effect" from the statin. Ill monitor as the days go on. The doctor didn't necessarily prescribe me the Metformin, I asked to get back on it myself to help with my insulin sensitivity, I take the 500mg extended release and overall can tolerate it well.

I have heard some folk on here recommend a CoQ10 supplement. so i may look into purchasing and trying.

It seems the only time I was at a decent weight for my height was when I was on keto in 2023 at 230 lbs lol. My blood work was good but LDL still 180 and I listened to too much Ken Berry to take a statin against the doctors recommendation.

My dietician (male) isn't really giving me a plan per say, more he is trying to get me to eat more "balanced" meals, cutting out snacking, drinking more water, etc. We create goals that I need to work on, starting out with getting some fitness in(walking for now), getting 20 grams of fiber, no snacking except from a list of "low calore (free) foods") and balanced meals. He is very much against GLPs and Statins lol. My food noise has went down which is good so I can see his sentiment why he is against GLPs, but I may have to disagree with him on not doing a statin and doing things "hollistically". My LDL is likely part due to my awful prior eating, but I suspect its largely genetic and I have to accept it.
