Hi dear.Welcome and thanks for posting me on HCM.
I really appreciate your interest to lower TG by natural means.Since you have a healthy diet I were to advice exercise (in any form walking, swimming) which is the best option to reduce your TG's.

I were to start on a low dose of Fenofibrate (145 nanonised tablet) to take care of your TG's which are high(normal <150mg/dl).I would further titrate the dose depending on the fitness regime you may choose after monitoring the plasma levels.Hope this answers your query.Get well soon.
