Many people in the healthcare field are starting to promote higher ranges of total cholesterol as ideal - like around 250-270. I believe Ron Rosedale, Ray Peat and Stephanie Seneff are all on the same page about this. While I am not qualified to address whether your numbers look good or not, I am in favor of promoting my new found appreciation for cholesterol - both the so called "good" and "bad" kinds.

Here are some notes I took from Stephanie Seneff's interview on Jimmy Moore's podcast. She has looked at the damage done by statin drugs which lower cholesterol. She postulates that it is this lowering of cholesterol that causes many varied health problems.

"CHOLESTEROL DEFICIENCY IS THE #1 PROBLEM IN AMERICA TODAY. She says the foods that are richest in cholesterol are the very ones we need to be eating more of. She is a huge proponent of a low carb, high cholesterol/fat diet.
Eggs, shellfish organs are all very good sources of cholesterol. She makes a distinction that it's not just fat that is good, it's the cholesterol as well. She says that her research has led her to believe that cholesterol is the reason why the traditional people in Weston Price's book were so healthy. The statin industry is to blame for our belief that cholesterol is damaging.

She says that statins are involved in causing Alzheimer's, heart failure, kidney failure and sepsis. These conditions are found in people who have very low LDL. People with high LDL do much better in recovering from these conditions. Low LDL is not necessarily beneficial. SHe does not think ANYONE should EVER take a statin. She collected data on statin drug reviews compared to other drugs and they looked at word frequencies to uncover correlations. As a result she correlates ALS, parkinson's, mobility problems, heart failure, memory problems and muscle problems with statins.

"To optimize the quality of your life, increase your life expectancy, and avoid heart disease, my advice is simple: spend significant time outdoors; eat healthy, cholesterol-enriched, animal-based foods like eggs, liver, and oysters; eat fermented foods like yogurt and sour cream; eat foods rich in sulfur like onions and garlic. And finally, say "no, thank-you" to your doctor when he recommends statin therapy."when he recommends statin therapy."
