Carnivore is FOOLISH. There is no Scientific evidence whatsover that it benefits anything aside from short term weight loss, at the detriment of your health. I would get my whole genome sequenced and get a genetic counselor. Get a personal trainer and an expert on human performance (Get tested from athletic labs you can measure your VO2 max, RMR, Body composition and create a workout routine optimizing for longevity and health) Eat a varied diet rich in Vegetables like Broccoli, spinach, Kale..Carrots (8 servings every dinner 365 days a week), healthy fats like Extra virgin olive oil, Wild Salmon, Sardines, avocadoes, ALmonds, nuts seeds. Spend 1000-1500 a month on groceries if you have to. Get enough sleep, reduce stress, keep purpose and and social connection. Keep up to date with your screenings (Blood test measure Hemoglobin h1c, LDLc, HDLc, get a NMR lipoprofile if you want to), get a private doctor if you have to that is more like a personal trainer and optimizes health rather than just treat disease. Also consider getting on Metformin, Rapamycin and possibly Statins if your LDL Triglycerides etc are high. Avoid too much sun exposure, toxins, polluted air. Get a air purifier...And consider GLP-1 agonist.

Some think that statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure

Most think that statins do anything at all.

Most think that cholesterol and LDL is bad and the direct cause of cardiovascular disease.

Most just parrot wrong and frankly dangerous dietary advice. Choosing a dietary plan by throwing a coin is literally better than following the advice of most people, even doctors. Hell, we've gone from recommending low fat to vegan diets for health, while still demonising low carb diets because of misinformation that's 70 years old, and American religious lobbies pushing vegetarianism. Wikipedia still calls low carb diets a "fad", while no such moniker is attached to vegan diets that have only been possible since the 1930s with the discovery of vitamin B12 and its subsequent synthesis.
