High LDL, High ApoB, High Trigs CAC =0 Doc says no Statins

I’m 51 years old and weigh 180 pounds at 6 feet. I get in 2 to 3 miles of trail running a day. Doc says he’s not worried! But I could get on a statin if I want to but he thinks I’m fine if I don’t want to and just change my diet. I’ve had history of leaky gut and a fatty liver non-alcoholic. Does anybody have any insights? I’m not afraid of going on a Statin. And my diet is already pretty dialed in outside of the occasional beer or whiskey on the weekend. I consume more psyllium husk than I care to.

Does anybody have any studies that show the effects of a fatty liver on cholesterol or the correlation between high LDL and a fatty liver? I’m wondering if a statin could help both?
