PCP with up-to-date approaches to women's cardio/heart health?

hi folks - I know there's a lot of threads about PCPs. I've read through them & read a lot of doctor profiles, but could use specific info about this.

I have a family history of heart issues. I'm very active/fit & have a healthy lifestyle but my cholesterol has still crossed the threshold into being high the last 2-3 years; my current PCP of 10+ years has an antiquated approach to it ("if your number on this risk calculator eventually gets past x point, we'll prescribe meds"). I've realized I need to work with someone who's thinking bigger picture, about the long-term effects of this & about newer science around markers that aren't just cholesterol.

anyone have firsthand experience with a PCP who keeps tabs on these things? all recs welcome!
