Not every high reading means the same thing. A cholesterol level of 6.5 sits differently depending on what runs in your family, and that context shapes how The Good Fight interprets it.
Free and takes only 10 minutes.
Inherited high cholesterol affects roughly 1 in 250 Australians and is significantly under-diagnosed. Standard care treats a number. The Good Fight looks at all the drivers and builds a picture around what’s actually going on.
Most cholesterol management starts and ends with a statin prescription. This misses the bigger question: what is actually driving the lipid picture? Inherited pattern, cortisol, sleep, and dietary fat quality each play measurable roles. The Good Fight starts with all of them. We look at:
Family history
Lipid metabolism has a heritability of 40–60%. We treat the family context as clinical input from the outset, because that’s often where the real story sits.
Good cholesterol
Rather than targeting LDL directly, the focus is on raising HDL. This method can shift the overall lipid balance without the trade-offs that come with statin therapy.
Triglyceride levels
Triglyceride levels are closely tied to diet quality, trace minerals, and stress load, factors that medication alone doesn’t address. The Good Fight considers these directly to complement the care you’re already receiving.
Habit formation
Knowing what to change and being able to change it are two different problems. Habit formation and stress response directly affect lipid levels, so they’re addressed as part of the programme, not treated as separate issues.
Dyslipidaemia is one of the most misunderstood metabolic conditions. What looks like a straightforward cholesterol problem is often the result of several interconnected factors, many of them inherited and many of them not visible on a standard lipid panel.
Lipid heritability
Because genetics play such a significant role, the same lipid numbers can mean different things for different people. That’s why The Good Fight interprets your results alongside your personal and family history, not against a single generic benchmark.
Fat quality
Research consistently shows that the type of fat consumed has a far greater influence on LDL levels than overall fat intake. Cutting fat without understanding what’s replacing it can leave lipid levels stagnant.
Statins trade-offs
Statins are effective at reducing LDL, but they also have minimal impact on triglycerides and little effect on HDL. The Good Fight works alongside existing medication to address what statins alone cannot reach.
Sleep quality
Research finds that insufficient sleep produces measurable changes in the genes responsible for cholesterol regulation, with sleep-deprived participants showing lower circulating HDL. When it comes to dyslipidaemia management. sleep is clinically relevant.
