The doctor has already repetitively told you multiple times to manage your high LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)

You have heard the usual important advice: Manage what you eat, your movement, your stress levels etc. You can actually sing this out and yet there has been no significant difference in your cholesterol levels.

This can be so frustrating but before you throw in the towel, let’s borrow a leaf from Peter Drucker the father of management.

“WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS MANAGED” Peter Drucker

👉🏿 How many times a week do you consistently exercise? For how long? What type of physical activity do you engage in?
👉🏿 What are your daily eating habits? Every bite of food matters. How do you prepare your meals? What oils do you use? What are your go-to snacks? Have you documented this in a food journal?
👉🏿 Identify the stressors in your life. How do you recognize and respond to these triggers? What steps are you taking to manage what’s in your control? Have you acknowledged what’s beyond your control? etc

With numerous factors to manage and measure, claiming you’ve done everything possible to lower your numbers may be misleading. And if this feels overwhelming, consider seeking a Health and Wellness Coach who can assist you in planning, measuring, and managing your habits to establish routines that promote health to improve your cholesterol levels.

Now that you have this documented behavioral data, you can effectively monitor your health outcomes realistically and positively in the future.
