@maryammehrtash: Part 3. The number 1 question in my DMs: how are you lowering your cholesterol without medication? Here's what's working for me: → Psyllium husk → Soluble fiber → Cardio → Mediterranean diet → Omega-3s → Stress reduction And yes, my doctor said no alcohol, no caffeine. I'm a mom of toddlers. Coffee and wine are sometimes survival. I switched to organic and replaced most of my coffee with matcha. Progress, not perfection. I'm not a doctor. I'm sharing what I've learned so you can have better conversations with yours. Please talk to your doctor before making changes. Share this with someone with high cholesterol. And tell me in the comments, what's working for you? 🤍 Sources: • Psyllium lowers LDL 6–20%: Harvard Health; JAMA Internal Medicine • Soluble fiber 5–10g/day lowers LDL 5–11 pts: National Lipid Association; Mayo Clinic • Exercise raises HDL: American Heart Association • Mediterranean diet: AHA Life's Essential 8 • Chronic stress → cortisol → cholesterol: Harvard Health Day 8 of 40: @Jessi Jean Yap Challenge #HeartHealth #Cholesterol #MediterraneanDiet #HeartAttack #jjyapchallenge
Psyllium husk powder in oatmeal it’s like a cholesterol lowering thing people don’t really know about…

I am working on stress too. But I do the psyllium husk and chia seeds. I'm working on liking beans but I hate them. So far, I have learned to tolerate pinto beans, black beans, chickpeas, and lentils. But also, I eat oatmeal. And I switched to decaf coffee and I don't drink. I don't workout per se, but I make sure to get my steps in everyday. Thanks for the ideas. 🥰

Have you tried Animal Crossing? It’s great for stress reduction. I play it every night and just zone out and build a cute little world and interact with cute little animals. The day melts away, even if just for an hour.

I swear I’m not being judgy, but I’m going to advocate for sobriety. Cutting alcohol completely made me realize how bad alcohol ultimately made me feel. I say this as someone who loooooved bourbon, wine, and beer. It’s worth it.

Fish oil supplement appeared to lower mine. I also made several of the foods tips you mentioned. I believe fish oil really helped. I changed my lifestyle about two years ago.

This is good information… I incorporate about 2 tablespoons of flaxseed per day and as a pescatarian I’m always eating salmon and sardines. However, instead of olive oil I use avocado oil and Ia good bit of cayenne pepper in my recipes, stopped drinking about four years ago.
