Lower Cholesterol and Blood Pressure – Are you ready?

How long have you been struggling to lower cholesterol and/or blood pressure? 12 months? 3 years? More than 10 years?

Are you ready to stop struggling and start getting results?

Over the years I’ve worked with clients to improve heart health it’s become very clear that those who receive long-term support see much greater levels of success which is why I want to get this option available to you. It’s going to be comprehensive and customized to your needs to ensure your success.

Some of the specifics include:

Detailed Diet Assessment

You will receive a detailed evaluation of your dietary intake to specifically analyze your calorie and nutrient intake to determine what foods need to be increased, what foods need to be eliminated (or reduced) and what needs to be added so you are on track.

Expert Feedback

You will receive expert feedback and guidance from a heart health nutrition specialist to guide you in the right direction, help you overcome obstacles, and support you on your heart health journey.

Specific examples for your situation

This program doesn’t include general feedback regarding diets to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. This will be completely customized and based on your current diet and lifestyle habits to determine what YOU need to do. You will receive specific examples and suggestions on how you can meet your calorie, nutrient, and activity goals.

Direct Email Access to Ask Questions

Making diet and lifestyle changes is not a “cookie cutter” process. There will be ups and downs. You will have questions. This program allows you to directly submit your questions and receive answers without going through a “middle man”.

Track Your Progress

You will check-in at the start of every month to assess your progress and determine strategies and goals for the month ahead. This will include a goal checklist to make sure you stay on track.

Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes

Every week you’ll receive a new heart healthy recipe delivered directly to your email inbox. By then end of the program you’ll have added 24 new heart healthy choices to your meal plan.

Take Action Plan for Heart Health Success

This program will provide you the tools, information, guidance, and support you need to finally get on track and maintain your heart health for life. We’ll progress through several different factors including diet, lifestyle, and functional foods to meet your goals.

By the end of the 6 months (if you follow through) you’ll see. . .

Lower cholesterol levels
Reduced blood pressure
Elevated HDL cholesterol
Decreased need for medication
Increased energy
. . .and the potential for much more depending on your health goals!

Weight Loss – Are low carb diets affecting your brain function?

Some studies are being conducted evaluating the effects of low carb diets, such as the Atkins diet, on cognitive ability. Brain function on a low carb diet may be impaired because glucose is the nutrient used by the brain for energy and the brain is not capable of storing glucose, but is depended on the bodies production of this nutrient.

Many low carb diets restrict intake to as little as 20 grams per day, while the RDA for carbs is at least 130 grams (taking into account the brains energy needs).

One study compared long and short term memory, spatial memory, and visual attention of women prior to beginning a low carb diet, post low carb diet, and after reintroduction of carbs. Those following a low carb diet had a gradual decline in memory performance and slower reaction time on all tests. Interestingly, attention span was improved on the low carb diet.

Fortunately, memory skills and scores returned to normal after carbohydrates were reintroduced.
