Are there any supplements anyone else is familiar with that I can take besides this? My low is to low and my high is to high, according to them. I’ve looked at my daily foods and can hardly find anything that has cholesterol in it, other than milk. Could I lose 5-8 lbs, sure..would that make a difference?

Agreed. As much as possible, that is my new plan going forward.
Even years ago when I was not paying much attention, it still bothered me that no doctors were ever interested in finding and treating the root causes of any illness - only in prescribing drugs to treat the symptoms.
I have stopped taking statins, and I don't care what my cholesterol numbers happen to be going forward. If you look at any research, there is no evidence that statins provide any benefit at all - but they do have various side effects.
Big pharma keeps adjusting the cholesterol numbers so that more and more people end up with a prescription. It is very likely the whole thing is a "made up disease" from big pharma just to sell statins, which are their most profitable drugs.
Functional medicine doctors get to the root cause of illness, and most don’t take insurance for a reason. They will also force you to clean up your diet.
