Anybody else have Familial Hypercholesterolemia?

All of your numbers look good except for LDL.

The problem is there are different LDL's, good and bad (small and large). Not all LDL is bad.
You can always look into the specialized LDL tests if you were concerned.

Also, if you really wanted to try a supplement before going the statin-route (which you may not even need) is "real" Red Yeast Rice.
From other countries. Where it has Monacolin-K in it, a measured dose.
This is the naturally fermented "statin" that FDA coined "Lovastatin" after they stole for their own. (To protect us of course) 

Used in Asian countries for millions of years.
Some countries are cracking down even on that, following suit.

But you can find it out there, tiny pills with 3mg in each one. (Three x a day for 9 mg is a good dose).
People see benefit w/ no sides unlike the synthetic counterparts.

You can try for 3 months, get re-tested. Also maybe look into the special LDL test, you may be fine and just doing daamge to the good LDL..

Like one guy said above, people with the lowest total-levels die more from heart attack, etc. Cholesterol is protectinve and important..

Never tried this brand, its just an example:

I’ll give this a try.

I cycle cardarine a few times a year for 6-8 weeks and my LDL drops around and HDL rises.

The other thing is big-pharma isnt needed for Monacolin-K, they stole it.
Used in China for a million years.  Other countries, still OTC.

All statins are synthetic forms of Monacolin-K (natural fermented lovastatin made with yeast and rice).
So yeah, not real trusting of it (was never un-trusting until the fake scamdemic actually).
 
Most folks know how to critically think, unlike Sheep. Take a known-safe substance used in Asia for a million years or a rushed to market "cash grab" thats killing people.
Hmmm... Let me see if I can tell the difference. 

I see what you’re saying.

High total cholesterol is healthy. LDL isn't "bad". It's bad when vLDL becomes inflamed which is rather different, and it's bad to have such chronic inflammation that your arteries are constantly being repaired with cholesterol. I would look into "lean mass hyper responders" since you seem to fit that profile.

Ideally people should have high total cholesterol, high HDL:Trig ratio, low CAC score, low inflammation biomarkers. This is pretty much the opposite of "mainstream" old fashioned advice which is that it doesn't matter how bad your biomarkers are so long as LDL is low, which is dangerous advice.

getting a particle count cholesterol test done soon as well as tests for inflammation markers so we will see…

plus I want to find out the amount of soft plaque versus just the calcified which the calcium score only shows…

LDL has been rising steadily past 5 years though.
