Cholesterol hassle

Hi!  My husband and I have been low carb/paleo/keto for eight years now.  A few years ago, we attempted to get life insurance for him and he had to take the routine medical exam.  Because of the diet, his total cholesterol level is very high.  The insurance company refused to offer him coverage for medical issues, but only for injuries and accidents - at almost the same cost as it would have been for both.   Has anyone else experienced this?  Does anyone know of any life insurance company(ies) that have updated their policies and realize that cholesterol level is mostly meaningless?  Thanks for any help.
