Alternatives to statins and dangers of taking them and not taking them

My husband has high cholesterol and we are worried about the side effects of statins, despite Dr Sinclair taking them. He has never done a fasting blood test, and has now reduced alcohol intake to zero. Is it strange that his doctor would not insist on a fasting blood test? Is it confirmed that high cholesterol does not come from foods that are high in it? His doctor said he would have to go on a full vegetarian diet to lower it without statins. Can you please elaborate on any studies or knowledge you may have. He has a family history of high cholesterol however his father now has neuropathy in both legs which I believe is a probably side effect from decades use of statins.

Wireless headphones

Is there any research that using wireless Bluetooth headphones (e.g., AirPods) are bad for you? If you do have to wear earbuds would wired ones be better?

Osteoporosis - how to reverse

Hi I’m a 63 year old fairly fit and otherwise healthy person. Shocked to get an osteoporosis diagnosis. I have never taken HRT and perhaps should have. Is it too late to start and what can I do to reverse osteoporosis? I am active and use resistance training fairly regularly and have done for most of my life. Do I eat more protein?? What can I do?

Foods, nutrients or supplements before bed for best sleep.

Sleep is our most important state for recovery and learning. Is there anything you're aware of that I can consume before bed to increase function in sleep? Is vasodilation good or bad? And I also wonder specificly about ketone esters.
