Why? Because I have had high cholesterol myself – despite what I considered to be a healthy diet!

Thanks to dietary & lifestyle interventions & some targeted supplements, I managed to successfully reduce my own cholesterol levels back to within range.
I want to highlight the benefits of the dietary & lifestyle changes as an option for you.

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 another option -supporting a reduction in your cholesterol, through dietary & lifestyle changes.

Your GP’s approach 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 & choose Statin Therapy, unaware of the long term costs & side effects.

My research in this area, led me to the drug free approach to altering serum cholesterol levels. Research has proven that you can lower cholesterol levels dramatically, by changing your diet.

In a study of participants who went on a 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.
These diet plans however are very strict & most people find them difficult to follow.

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, significantly improves its effectiveness.

• 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.
