The statin drugs are derivatives of the same structure as Nystatin which is a treatment for fungus infections. Side effects include kidney and liver damage, but that can be managed by close monitoring.

There are some theories about high cholesterol and a number of other conditions resulting from the proliferation of fungi as a result of the over-ingestion of antibiotics both in the form of drugs and in meat from animals who are fattened more quickly by being given antibiotics.

You can take pro-biotics to replace the healthy bacteria that balances the fungi and some diets at least in theory can actually starve the fungi.

Taking the drugs under medical supervision might be easier, but be sure to be monitored for side effects.
