I have a question about this episode 10. The ULTIMATE bloodwork podcast! and this LDL and HDL Insights. My recent lipid panel was as follows: Total cholesterol 204, Triglycerides 95, HDL 60, VLDL 17, LDL 127, LDL/HDL ratio 2.1. I am already on a statin, and my doctor wants to add another medication to enhance the statin performance. She said she would like my LDL in the 80s, but I specifically remember high LDL levels in centenarians. Any insight on this?

Is it right to focus on LDL alone, or is the total cholesterol to HDL ratio more important for managing heart health, given that my LDL is typically between 85 and 100, and a doctor recommended aiming for lower values due to other risk factors?
