Doctors don’t unanimously agree on the ratios, so my Total/HDL ratio of 3.5 is not a problem according to Dr Soo.

Doctors don’t unanimously agree on statins.

Dr Soo felt LDL needs to come down to 100 (twice the HDL). He suggested taking half a Lipitor pill each time, not 1/3.

Dr Soo said total cholesterol reading is not so meaningful as it adds good and bad numbers. In Sep 2023, a Healthway TPY doctor echoed that. I guess the total reading is a tradition, perhaps outdated.

LDL is the #1 focus of many doctors.
