Let’s be honest, improving your heart health can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve tried every diet and nothing worked.

I’m a cardiovascular dietitian with 14+ years of experience, and in this video, I share two recent client stories to empower you.

Because if they can do it, so can you.

One client, MK, is 72 years old with a significant medical history who said she “finally got a plan that is working and is enjoyable to follow!”

The other, FD, faced a surprising diagnosis of heart failure with a low ejection fraction and said, “Working with Michelle has been a literal lifesaver! My heart function was extremely poor, and if I did nothing, I wouldn’t be here to give this testimony!”

It’s never too late to take control of your heart health.

Watch the video to learn more about their stories and empower you to take proactive action, no matter where you are in your heart health journey.

It’s time to stop guessing and start getting the real support you deserve.⁠
⁠
Resistant hypertension means your blood pressure stays high, even while taking 3 or more medications. That was the experience of my client, who was stuck at 150/90mmHg despite doing everything her doctor told her to do.⁠
⁠
With science-backed nutrition and personalized guidance, she brought her blood pressure down to a healthy 115/75mmHg, and was able to reduce most of her medications.⁠
⁠
Together, we created a personalized plan targeting insulin resistance, inflammation, gut health, and nitric oxide levels through a nutrient-rich, heart-healthy diet to support her goals and heart health.⁠
⁠
If your blood pressure isn’t improving, know that you’re not alone — and I’m here to support you. ⁠
⁠
Let’s connect with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to explore how we can optimize it together. Visit my website (entirelynourished.com) to schedule a call today.

High blood pressure doesn’t just raise your numbers—it damages your blood vessel lining, weakens your heart muscle, can disrupt your heartbeat, and accelerates plaque buildup.
⁠
It’s one of the easiest conditions to improve through targeted, science-based nutrition—especially when you focus on foods that support vasodilation and kidney function. 🍓🧄🍠⁠
⁠
I break it all down in this Reel—watch it to understand what’s happening inside your body and why home monitoring is just step one.⁠
⁠
I hope every busy adult with a family history of heart disease sees this, because BP issues don’t wait for symptoms.⁠
⁠
This always surprises people when they realize **how quickly diet can influence vessel health and heart function.**⁠
⁠
And by the way—my best tips hit inboxes Tuesday mornings. If you’re not on my email list yet, join now so you don’t miss tomorrow’s juicy breakdown. ⁠
