Five Diet Changes to Lower High Cholesterol in Perimenopause

Lowering ApoB and non-HDL cholesterol starts with improving how your body clears cholesterol. Michelle recommends reducing saturated fat, replacing it with healthy unsaturated fats, gradually increasing soluble fibre, staying well hydrated, and supporting gut health. As oestrogen declines in perimenopause, maintaining nitric oxide production and healthy blood vessels also becomes increasingly important. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reduce saturated fat intake. Replace with omega-3-rich and other unsaturated fats. Increase fibre gradually to avoid bloating. Prioritise soluble fibre (oats, raspberries, chia seeds). Stay hydrated to support cholesterol excretion. Support nitric oxide production with foods like beets and leafy greens. Maintain gut health to support both heart health and fibre tolerance.
