 Holy fuck that’s horrible. My mom’s GP is trying to get her on statins too but my mom is refusing them. If you want to get someone off your back about cholesterol you can do a coronary calcium scan. It’s basically an xray that shows how much “clogging” you have in the heart. 
 Funny you should mention this.

My doc is a retard too, asks about statins every time I see her. 

She had me go for a calcium scan too

My scan showed 0% blockage

And yet she still asks about statins!! 
 I stand corrected. Just change GPs because they can’t be reasoned with 😂 

Man that’s insane to think about. Zero blockage, normal blood pressure, normal heart rate. How can you have a heart attack? 
 I have elevated BP, and high sugar but am controlling through diet and exercise 
 Whats your bp and age? 
 Born in the 70s 

BP is probably elevated due to alcohol, which is being minimized 

I’ve just started a carnivore diet 
 Still young. Should improve with a clean diet brother 🫡 
 Yeah. 💯

Diabetes runs in the family but only if you eat modern shit
