Abstract	Abstract Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. In patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), hypercholesterolemia plays a crucial role in the progression of vascular disease, necessitating strict lipid control, lifestyle modifications, and medical management to prevent further cerebrovascular events. Case Presentation: A 72-year-old woman with a history of TIA and prior carotid endarterectomy remains functionally independent but recently developed leg numbness, back pain, and limited mobility. Elevated lipid levels on routine check-up highlight ongoing vascular risk. Intervention and Outcomes: The patient underwent a 12-week integrative program involving acupuncture, therapeutic diet, chair yoga, and chair suryanamaskar. She reported significant reduction in pain, improved mobility, and normalization of lipid levels.
