What causes High Cholesterol?

What is High Cholesterol?

High cholesterol occurs when there’s too much cholesterol, a waxy, fat-like substance in your blood. While your body needs some cholesterol to build cells and make hormones, excess cholesterol can build up in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. Managing cholesterol through healthy habits, regular testing, and medication (if needed) can help protect your long-term heart health.

High cholesterol usually does not cause any noticeable symptoms, which is why it’s often called a “silent condition.” Most people don’t know they have it until they get a blood test. In rare cases of extremely high cholesterol, fatty deposits (called xanthomas) may appear under the skin or around the eyes. Because there are usually no physical signs, regular cholesterol screenings are essential for early detection and prevention.

High cholesterol can develop due to a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and health-related factors, including:

  • Unhealthy diet: Eating foods high in saturated fats, trans fats, or cholesterol
  • Lack of exercise: Physical inactivity can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol
  • Genetics: Family history of high cholesterol or heart disease
  • Medical conditions: Diabetes, thyroid problems, kidney disease, or obesity
  • Smoking or alcohol use: Both can negatively affect cholesterol balance

Understanding what’s driving your cholesterol levels helps your provider create a treatment plan that works for you.

Virtual care offers a convenient, personalized way to manage high cholesterol from home. Through secure online visits, your provider can:

  • Review your cholesterol results and cardiovascular risk factors
  • Recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to lower cholesterol naturally
  • Prescribe and monitor cholesterol-lowering medications when needed
  • Coordinate lab testing and follow-up appointments
  • Track progress over time to ensure your treatment stays effective

You’ll receive the same level of professional care as an in-person visit with greater convenience and flexibility.

If appropriate, yes. Your provider may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins or other lipid-lowering drugs based on your lab results and cardiovascular risk. These medications help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and protect against heart disease. Your provider will monitor your response, adjust dosages as needed, and support you with ongoing lifestyle guidance to optimize your results.
