High cholesterol

Managing high cholesterol is crucial, as it often develops without obvious symptoms but can silently increase the risk of serious conditions like heart disease and stroke. Although high cholesterol itself usually doesn’t cause symptoms, complications such as chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath may signal reduced blood flow due to artery blockages. Regular cholesterol checks are essential, especially for those with risk factors like a poor diet, inactivity, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and, if needed, medication can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce related health risks.

Rohan is a functional medicine practitioner with over 13 years of clinical experience, focused on uncovering and treating the root causes of chronic and complex health issues rather than simply managing symptoms. He has a particular interest in gut health, using detailed clinical assessment alongside advanced functional testing, including stool and microbiome analysis, to better understand issues such as bloating, digestive irregularities, food sensitivities, and gut-related fatigue. Rohan works closely with patients who have often tried multiple approaches without success, taking time to interpret results in clear, practical language and developing personalised, realistic treatment plans that support lasting improvement rather than generic protocols.

What is a
High cholesterol Practitioner

High cholesterol practitioners come from a range of backgrounds and help you check and lower your cholesterol. Your GP is a good first step: they can order a blood test, assess your heart and stroke risk, and prescribe medicines if needed. Dietitians help you change your eating pattern. Exercise physiologists design safe activity plans. Cardiologists and endocrinologists are specialist doctors who may see people with very high or inherited high cholesterol; you need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate. Pharmacists can answer questions about your medicines.

Getting Help With High Cholesterol

Testing and Risk

A blood test measures your cholesterol. Your GP considers this alongside your blood pressure, age, smoking, diabetes and family history to estimate your risk of heart attack and stroke, and decide what treatment makes sense.
Health Hunter

Heart-Healthy Eating

Health Hunter
What you eat can affect your cholesterol. A dietitian can help you eat more vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and fish, and swap out foods high in saturated fat. Small, realistic changes are often easier to keep up.

Inherited High Cholesterol

Health Hunter
Familial hypercholesterolaemia is an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol and can lead to heart disease at a younger age. If high cholesterol or early heart disease runs in your family, ask your GP about testing.

Medicines and Monitoring

Health Hunter
If lifestyle changes are not enough, or your risk is high, your GP may suggest cholesterol-lowering medicines and follow-up blood tests. Keep taking prescribed medicine unless your GP advises otherwise, and raise any side effects.

Staying Active

Health Hunter
Regular physical activity can help improve cholesterol and supports heart health. An exercise physiologist can design a program that suits you. If you have a chronic condition, ask your GP about Medicare-subsidised allied health visits.

Other Risk Factors

Health Hunter
Cholesterol is only one part of heart health. Your GP can help with blood pressure, blood sugar and weight, and support you to quit smoking and limit alcohol. Tackling them together does more to lower your risk.
