CARDIOVASCULAR CARE
My area of interest is Hypercholesterolemia or high cholesterol. Why? Because I had high cholesterol myself – despite what I considered to be a healthy diet!

If you have recently been diagnosed with high Cholesterol, it is likely that your Doctor has recommended Statin drugs?

I want to make you aware of the possibility of reducing your cholesterol, through dietary & lifestyle changes.

GP’s allow a 3 month period, for patients to attempt to reduce cholesterol levels through dietary & lifestyle changes.
The vast majority don’t take advantage of this opportunity & instead opt for Statin Therapy, unaware of the long-term costs & side effects.

Thanks to dietary & lifestyle interventions & some targeted supplements, I managed to reduce my own cholesterol levels back to within range.

My research in this area led me to Dr. Dean Ornish – a pioneer of the drug-free approach to altering serum cholesterol levels. He is the head of The Preventive Medicine Research Institute in California. He has shown, that you can lower cholesterol levels dramatically, by changing your diet.

In a study of participants who went on the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine Diet, which focuses on plant-based protein (no fish or meat) and daily cholesterol of 10mg or less, participants averaged a 40% decrease in cholesterol without medication.
In addition, striking mortality benefits have been reported independently of its cholesterol-lowering effects.
In terms of practical application though, the Ornish Diet is strict & most people find it difficult to adhere to. The Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, is both enjoyable and affordable and is supported by strong epidemiological trial data.
Combining a Mediterranean diet with cholesterol-lowering plant stenols from vegetables and including omega 3’s i.e. salmon/mackerel or fish oil, further enhances its effectiveness.

Look After Your Heart Program
A Personalised 1:1 Approach to Reduce Your Cholesterol & Improve Your Health
• Full nutrition and dietary assessment
• Wellness vision and goal setting
• Tailored nutrition plan
• Tailored lifestyle plan
• Practitioner grade supplement recommendations
• Cholesterol targets (LDL-C, HDL-C & TG)
• Grocery shopping guides, lists
• Support in between sessions via email / phone / text

• This is a 3 month program I developed to:
• reduce LDL-C cholesterol ( the bad cholesterol)
• reduce triglycerides
• increase HDL-C cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
3 months is the minimum amount of time, after which, you can expect to see improvements in blood serum results. The Program is a combination of a plant based diet & the Mediterranean Diet, including practitioner grade supplements & specific lifestyle recommendations.
In Addition to the core program, I offer the following optional extras:
• Functional Testing
• 1:1 Cooking Lessons
• Catered Meals

Which Foods Will I be Eating?
Predominantly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans & legumes, as well as some good fats that contain omega 3 fatty acids.
These are the foods that are rich in good carbs, good fats, good proteins and other protective substances. There are at least 100,000 substances in these foods that have powerful anti-cancer, anti-heart-disease and anti-aging properties. What I recommend you include, is as important as what you exclude.
As well as these healthy foods, changing your lifestyle changes your genes—turning on protective genes and turning off genes that promote inflammation, oxidative stress, and some cancers.
In addition, these lifestyle changes can lengthen telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes that regulate aging, thereby beginning to reverse aging at a cellular level.

CARDIOVASCULAR CARE
My area of interest is Hypercholesterolemia or high cholesterol. Why? Because I had high cholesterol myself – despite what I thought was a healthy diet!

If you have recently been diagnosed with high Cholesterol, it is likely that your Doctor has recommended Statin drugs? but I want to make you aware of another option – the option of supporting a reduction in your cholesterol, through dietary & lifestyle changes.

Your GP’s best practice advice upon diagnosis is to allow you a 3 month period, to reduce your cholesterol levels, with dietary & lifestyle interventions.
Most patients don’t take advantage of this opportunity & instead opt for Statin Therapy, unaware of the long-term costs & side effects.

I want to highlight the benefits of the dietary option to you. Thanks to dietary & lifestyle interventions & some targeted supplements, I managed to successfully reduce my own cholesterol levels back to within range.
My research in this area led me to Dr. Dean Ornish – a pioneer of the drug-free approach to altering serum cholesterol levels. He is the head of The Preventive Medicine Research Institute in California. He has shown, that you can lower cholesterol levels dramatically, by changing your diet.

In a study of participants who went on the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine Diet, which focuses on plant-based protein (no fish or meat) and daily cholesterol of 10mg or less, participants averaged a 40% decrease in cholesterol without medication.
In addition, striking mortality benefits have been reported independently of its cholesterol-lowering effects.
In terms of practical application though, the Ornish Diet is strict & most people find it difficult to adhere to. The Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, is both enjoyable and affordable and is supported by strong epidemiological trial data.
Combining a Mediterranean diet with cholesterol-lowering plant stenols from vegetables and including omega 3’s i.e. salmon/mackerel or fish oil, further enhances its effectiveness.

Look After Your Heart Program
A Personalised 1:1 Approach to Reduce Your Cholesterol & Improve Your Health
• Full nutrition and dietary assessment
• Wellness vision and goal setting
• Tailored nutrition plan
• Tailored lifestyle plan
• Practitioner grade supplement recommendations
• Cholesterol targets (LDL-C, HDL-C & TG)
• Grocery shopping guides, lists
• Support in between sessions via email / phone / text

• This is a 3 month program I developed to:
• reduce LDL-C cholesterol ( the bad cholesterol)
• reduce triglycerides
• increase HDL-C cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
3 months is the minimum amount of time, after which, you can expect to see improvements in blood serum results. The Program is a combination of a plant based diet & the Mediterranean Diet, including practitioner grade supplements & specific lifestyle recommendations.
In Addition to the core program, I offer the following optional extras:
• Functional Testing
• 1:1 Cooking Lessons
• Catered Meals

Which Foods Will I be Eating?
Predominantly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans & legumes, as well as some good fats that contain omega 3 fatty acids.
These are the foods that are rich in good carbs, good fats, good proteins and other protective substances. There are at least 100,000 substances in these foods that have powerful anti-cancer, anti-heart-disease and anti-aging properties. What I recommend you include, is as important as what you exclude.
As well as these healthy foods, changing your lifestyle changes your genes—turning on protective genes and turning off genes that promote inflammation, oxidative stress, and some cancers.
In addition, these lifestyle changes can lengthen telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes that regulate aging, thereby beginning to reverse aging at a cellular level.
