Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. Intensive low animal fat diet and exercise for 12 weeks can be tried before rechecking cholesterol levels; many individuals despite their best efforts are unable to normalize levels and need medicine; you can ask your doctor about the lifestyle changes you need to make for that period of time and define a timeline to recheck your panel; set a goal cholesterol with your doctor and if unable to reach it, you may want to consider medication.


Hope this helps, wish you the best,
