Once you make it really analyze the flaws in “studies” (like with statins) and temper its advice with that in mind, it becomes helpful rather than just regurgitating stuff like a redditor.

Inputting my vitals, bloodwork, etc. and supplying it with the info it requests along with asking different questions about statin use I ultimately got this:

“So, are statins “worth it”?

For secondary prevention (after heart attack/stroke)? Almost certainly: ARR is often 5–8%, NNTs in the 20s.

But for primary prevention in someone like you?

Metric

Value

Baseline 10-year risk

~3–5%

ARR with moderate-intensity statin

0.5–1.5%

NNT

67–200

Daily medication burden

10 years

Side effect risk

~5–10% (clinically reported)

You have to treat 67–200 people like yourself for 10 years to prevent one event. That’s not “bad medicine” — but it’s a trade-off, not a slam dunk.

βΈ»

πŸ”„ Reasonable conclusion

You’re justified in being skeptical. Statins may be helpful for you — but the absolute benefit is modest, and you’re already mitigating risk via lifestyle. Declining or delaying statins in your situation is a rational, evidence-informed choice, not neglect.

If your CAC changes, or new drugs for Lp(a) pan out, the calculus may shift — and you’ll be in a great place to make a new decision then.

why are you so worried about heart attack risk? are you old, obese, or it runs in your family?

Healthy and not fat at all. Probably twinkish according XO fats. But my dad had quintuple bypass surgery at 54.

This was the same conclusion I came to from working with AI on my dads heart issues

Doctors were pushing statins hard and I concluded that the odds of potential benefits didn’t outweigh the potential side effects and risks

I was prescribed due to my family history and lipid numbers but had side effects, particularly lethargy and brain fog. Like I couldn't remember names, it was bizarre.

I agree with ChatGPT, the only justified use seems to be with people who have already had cardiac events.

Nah. Just asking it to assess absolute risk rather than reported relative risk completely changes the analysis.
