Things like certain vegetables, fruits, and other products help a lot. (oatmeal, onions, garlic, salmon, any fruits really, etc etc.)
Try cooking with less oil. And when possible, with Olive oil.
Walk, jog. Work up a bit of a sweat. Any bit helps.
Sleep well. Sleep early. Stay away from smoking/alcohol.
I think just by doing those basic things, it can help a lot already. The rest of it, talk to your doctor.

To add to what is overall good advice:
Stop eating out for the most part. Almost all restaurants use shitty vegetable oil to cook with - even the "healthy" ones
Stop using shitty vegetable oil when you cook. ELIMINATE canola, soy, safflower, etc. Instead use lard (make sure it's not hydrogenated) and coconut oil for cooking, olive, avocado, for when you aren't using much (or any) heat/
EAT LOTS OF FAT. But good fat. Like I said - grass fed beef, hunted game, free range chicken, fresh caught fish. This sounds expensive, but remember, you stopped eating at restaurants!
Stop eating wheat completely. No bread, no pasta. Rice, potatoes, etc is OK, but lower intake overall.
The end result will probably be higher OVERALL cholesterol, but your level of GOOD cholesterol will be through the roof. This is what matters. Liptor knocks everything out, including the good stuff which you NEED.
If your doctor suggests liptor even once, I would find a new doctor. That doesnt mean you don't need to improve your blood profile, just that it shouldn't be done with drugs. If your doctor is suggesting that you should eat less meat and more oatmeal, he is basically leading you down a path that inevitable leads to liptor use.
