Did you know that about 10% of Americans have high cholesterol, and many don’t even know it. The reality is as we age, we become more likely to have elevated cholesterol levels, which can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. And while treating high cholesterol can be as easy as picking up a new prescription at the pharmacy, what if you want to tackle it drug-free?Listener Carolyn asks**:**“I currently have high cholesterol and really don&#39;t want to take medication. I am hoping to get my numbers down by diet and exercise. What’s my best plan of action on the nutrition front? Can I still have occasional splurges? And if so, are there any splurges that I really need to avoid all together that will impact my cholesterol numbers?”To tackle Carolyn’s question, we’ve invited Dr. Federica Amati back to the podcast.
