I also found out that if high cholesterol can't be attributed to diet and lifestyle then it most likely genetic and that points to the liver.

Here's my "baby steps" start.

Per day:

2 tsps Carlson Fish Oil:
3,200 mg - Omega 3
1,600 mg - EPA
1,000 mg – DHA

Jarrow Formulas - Ubiquinol QH Absorb (CoQ10)
100 mg

MRM Liver X
1 capsule

Bernard Jensen's Chlorophyll
1 tablet

Optimox - Iodoral (for my thyroid issues)
12.5 mg Iodine/Iodide

Douglas Laboratories® - Vitamin D (I am low)
5,000 IU

Organic Rolled Oatmeal with ground flaxseed, almonds, cinnamon, raisins, and blueberries for breakfast.

Increase cardio workout.
Even though I don't eat a lot I still will cut way back on dairy, cheese, and meat in general (except fish).
Avoid fried foods. Plenty of fresh juice especially beet juice.

7 ounces of Pinot Noir in the evening.
