Library Journal: Concern over the side effects of statin drugs has generated interest in lowering one's cholesterol without them. Diet, fitness, and wellness expert Brill has authored a useful and clearly written book to help people make lifestyle changes that she purports can lower "bad" (LDL) cholesterol as effectively as statins. Brill explains what cholesterol is, what it does in the body, and why lowering LDL cholesterol is important. She also elucidates how each lifestyle change she prescribes acts on the body to lower LDL cholesterol. Brill starts with basic concepts and builds on them, using lay terms. In this way, the dry, scientific explanations flow well and are easy to understand. She provides many options for each of the lifestyle changes and proposes a two-week food plan (with recipes) to help the reader implement her strategy. The proposed changes are based on solid science and can help people lower their LDL cholesterol or enhance the effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering medication. Recommended.—Elaine M.
