Anyone here doing intermittent fasting while taking a statin?

Hi everyone,I’m 29 years old and started intermittent fasting recently. Last year, my doctor prescribed me a 10 mg statin because I have high cholesterol and a very strong family history of early heart disease, so they felt my long-term risk was high enough to start treatment even at my age.I’m wondering if anyone here also does intermittent fasting while taking a statin. Have you noticed any issues, and do you take it during your fasting window or with your eating window?I’ve also seen a lot of people say that after they started fasting, improved their diet, and lost weight, they were able to stop taking their statin. Others say that’s a bad idea and that fasting doesn’t replace the protection a statin provides.I’m not planning to stop taking it without talking to my doctor, but I’d love to hear both sides. If you think someone in my situation should try to come off a statin eventually, why? And if you think I definitely shouldn’t, what’s your reasoning?I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who started statins at a relatively young age due to family history.
