I'm on NR/Pt as a basic longevity stack (Elysium Basis is the product), and tart cherry juice for recovery. I'm thinking of trying beet juice for performance and Wobenzym for injury prevention.
I also do dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts to lower cholesterol.

Why not just stop eating meat and animal products. Then you won't consume cholesterol, therefore, won't have to lower it.
EPO

Yep. That's how it works. You eat a cholesterol molecule and it passes unchanged into your bloodstream.
I just ate two churros....
I just started using a super high quality fish oil (2g omega 3 for 2 capsules).
I also use B-12 (methyl) most days, just a tab that can dissolve in your mouth.
Magnesium (glycinate) before bed once a week or so.
Curcumin once in awhile when I need to recover, definitely does something with hormone levels and I feel more testosteroned up.
Biggest one is Astaxanthin, I take a 4mg pill most days. Unless it was something else, definitely seems like I recover faster from the gym and even running (only run once a week now). This is a weird one because it crosses the blood-brain barrier too, and I feel like there was a mental effect (more tenacious about accomplishing things). Possibly correlated with more beard growth and slight receding hair at corners of my hairline. Definitely some benefits from this one though.
Fish oil and multi-vitamin.

If you know of another way please inform me. From what I know, a high fat and high cholesterol diet aids in plaque build up on the wall of arteries.

I strongly urge you to learn about cholesterol metabolism and the contributors to blood and tissue cholesterol levels.

"Limiting foods with cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fats can help you control your cholesterol levels."
Normally don't take supplements but I'm now on:
New chapter multi v
Glucosamine/chondrin/msm
Green pasture fermented cod liver oil
Magnesium powder drink mix before bed a few times a week
Once they run out I'll go a while without

I strongly urge you to re-read my statement in a precise manner.

So do you disagree with that statement or just want me to spend 2 hours reading this?

Unwittingly, you are fairly near the mark with your googled cholesterol synthesis link. While we can discuss the factors regulating hydroxmethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and how diet contributes to it, we can both agree that a vast burden of cholesterol is actually produced BY the body, most prominently the liver. Some of it is secreted and recycled within the enterohepatic system, while a large remnant then travels in circulation with the help of carrier proteins (VLDL, LDL, IDL, HDL; each of these has multiple subtypes with differing apolipoprotein, phospholipid, cholesterol, unesterified cholesterol). It is the regulation and activity of these carrier proteins which determines 1. "Cholesterol levels" and 2. Whether cholesterol is deposited into tissues (bad) or collected for recycling, degradation, or fecal excretion. I encourage your further reading and googling of cholesterol synthesis by the body and conditions under which levels in circulation are elevated. It is clear from the biochemistry that simply saying circulatory cholesterol is a reflection of a high cholesterol diet is short-sighted and quite often plain wrong.
Sad!
