Understanding Cholesterol Management

Cholesterol is a fatty substance in the blood that helps your body function—but too much can lead to plaque buildup in arteries. Our Omaha providers monitor cholesterol through routine lab work and create realistic plans to keep your numbers in a healthy range.

Understanding Good vs. Bad Cholesterol

There are two main types of cholesterol: LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which can clog arteries, and HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps protect your heart. Our team explains your results in plain language so you know what to watch for and how to improve them.

At our Omaha clinic, we combine medical expertise with family-friendly coaching to help you build long-term habits that keep your heart healthy.

Common Questions About Cholesterol Management in Omaha

Why is cholesterol testing important?

High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, but it can quietly damage arteries. Routine testing at our Omaha office helps detect risks early, when they are easiest to manage.

How often should cholesterol be checked?

Most adults should have cholesterol tested every 4–6 years, though people with risk factors may need checks more often. Our doctors will recommend a schedule that fits your needs.

Can lifestyle changes improve cholesterol levels?

Yes. Nutrition, exercise, weight control, and quitting smoking can all help. Our Omaha providers create realistic lifestyle plans that fit your family and daily routine.

Do I always need medication for high cholesterol?

Not always. Some patients manage cholesterol through lifestyle changes alone. If medication is needed, we’ll find the safest option and monitor your progress closely.

What is “metabolic syndrome”?

Metabolic syndrome is when high cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight problems occur together. It raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes. We focus on early detection and management to protect long-term health.

Why choose Internal Medicine & Family Physicians for cholesterol management?

Because we provide care that’s both expert and personal. Our Omaha doctors know your family, your history, and your goals—so your cholesterol plan works in real life, not just on paper.
