A Smarter Way to Manage Cholesterol: Personalized, Precision-Based, and Rooted in Expertise
Cholesterol plays a major role in your heart and brain health. But managing it well takes more than a standard lab test. At Ace Longevity, we take a deeper look. Our approach combines personalized medicine, precision testing, and concierge care to help you prevent disease and protect your future.
Cholesterol Is More Than Just LDL and HDL
Most routine tests look at LDL and HDL. These numbers are useful, but they don’t tell the whole story. We go beyond the basics to get a clearer picture of your heart health.
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
Often called “bad cholesterol.” High levels can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries. The size of LDL particles matters too. Small, dense LDL particles are more likely to cause harm.
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
Known as “good cholesterol.” It helps carry cholesterol out of your arteries. But it’s not just about the amount. We also look at how well it functions.
Lp(a) or Lipoprotein(a)
This is a special type of cholesterol that runs in families. It increases your risk for heart attacks and strokes, even if everything else looks normal. It is not usually tested, but it should be.
Apo B or Apolipoprotein B
Apo B shows how many harmful particles are floating in your blood. Even if your LDL seems fine, a high Apo B could mean your risk is still high.
We Don’t Jump to Medication. We Get Precise.
Many people are put on statins based on limited lab results. At Ace Longevity, we slow down and look deeper.
We use CT Angiography with Cleerly AI, a powerful imaging tool that shows us what is really happening inside your arteries. It helps us see vulnerable plaque, the kind that can lead to a heart attack. This gives us clear evidence about whether you truly need a statin—or not.
You’ll also receive a calcium score, which tells us how much calcified plaque is already present. Together with advanced labs like Apo B and Lp(a), this helps us build a plan that is personalized, informed, and rooted in real data—not guesswork.
Natural Ways to Support Healthy Cholesterol
You can do a lot to improve your cholesterol without medication. These steps are simple, proven, and powerful.
Eat for Heart Health
Increase your fiber
Soluble fiber helps block cholesterol absorption. Great sources include oats, beans, lentils, apples, oranges, carrots, and Brussels sprouts.
Choose healthy fats
Go for olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon. These support a better cholesterol balance.
Try plant sterols and stanols
These natural compounds help reduce how much cholesterol your body absorbs. You’ll find them in veggies, nuts, seeds, and some fortified foods.
Limit harmful fats
Cut back on full fat dairy, and processed snacks. Avoid trans fats entirely.
Move Your Body
Aim for regular activity
Get at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio each week. Walking, swimming, or biking are great options.
Add strength training
Lifting weights or doing resistance work twice a week supports metabolism and helps manage cholesterol.
Manage Stress
Stress can raise LDL and lower HDL. Daily practices like deep breathing, meditation, or time in nature can make a big difference.
Get Quality Sleep
Poor sleep affects your hormones, metabolism, and cholesterol. Aim for seven to nine hours a night and build a calming bedtime routine.
Use Supplements Carefully
Omega 3s
These healthy fats lower triglycerides and support overall heart health. Use a high-quality brand and ask your doctor before starting.
Red yeast rice
This supplement can act like a natural statin. It should only be used under medical supervision.
