Heart disease is one of the leading and often silent health concerns in the U.S.

The good news? Evidence shows that nutrition and lifestyle support can meaningfully improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and cardiometabolic health — when care is realistic, culturally relevant, and sustainable.

Our Cardiovascular Care Program combines:
✔️ Individual nutrition counseling
✔️ Small group education & support
✔️ Practical meal strategies (no extreme restriction)
✔️ A weight-neutral, gentle nutrition approach (all bodies welcome)
✔️ Covered by insurance

This virtual program is ideal for adults managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol or cardiometabolic risk.

📅 Live group sessions:
• Tuesdays 5–6 PM
• Thursdays 11:30–12:30 PM

Spots are limited to keep care personal.
