4. Ask the doctors. I am a 62-year-old female with no chronic health problems, but I am about 10 pounds overweight. My new doctor wants to put me on a statin immediately.

The doctor wants my HDL to be above 60 and my LDL to be below 100. Could this result be achieved by weight loss, dietary changes, and exercise alone? If not, which statin would you recommend?
