I've got a cholesterol overall level of 360, and I'm pretty worried about it. Can you help me figure out some ways to bring it down? I'm really looking to make some changes.

I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, you can consider taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication."
