Lower Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Through Food, One Step at a Time
Most people get handed a lab report, a prescription, and about four minutes of explanation. Then they go home and search the internet, where every site says something different.
I’m Lisa Nelson, a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist. I’ve been teaching heart health nutrition since 2001. I also manage my own borderline high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease using the same steps I teach here.
What you’ll find on this site is specific. Not “eat better” or “cut back on salt,” but which foods, how much, and what to expect from each change. Everything here is built to work alongside your doctor.
How?
Step 1: Master the Basics

Changes only tell you something if you’re measuring. Keep a record of what you’ve actually put in place and where you’re still stuck, and work with your doctor to monitor your lab results and blood pressure over time.
