And yet, we end up affecting cholesterol synthesis in the brain. sigh. From the medical establishments perspective I am taking a crap shoot anyway. I have minimized carbohydrate intake and removed industrially processed seed oils from my diet. Having a CAC score of 543, I am starting 1mg per day of pitavastatin for the the pleotropic effects, rather than lowering LDL. next therapy: more exercise, less YT video watching. "Eat more, move more"
@jamesalles139 It's wonderful that you are prioritizing your health through diet and are now working on exercise. If you are worried about brain effects of statins, have a discussion with your care provider on lipophilic vs. hydrophilic statins (pitavastatin is lipophilic)
