Are There Alternatives To Statin Drugs?

Are there alternatives to statin drugs? I am only 26, but have elevated LDLs and low HDL. My doctor is pressuring me to begin taking statin drugs. One reason I am so against them is that I have read there is a connection to memory loss - my dad was on them for years and has recently passed (at the age of 63) due to complications from Alzheimers.
