When you want to lose weight, make sure it’s done in a way that truly supports your heart.

Because losing weight alone isn’t enough, it needs to protect your arteries, improve blood flow, and support your entire cardiovascular system.

Too often, people hear “Just lose weight for your heart,” but don’t realize that some diets can actually cause dangerous soft plaque to build up in as little as one year. The recent keto trial showed that the keto diet led to this type of plaque progression.

That’s why I take the time to explain how food works in your body so you can understand how to address insulin resistance, inflammation, and more by adding the right foods in the right amounts. My goal is to help you lose inches off your waist as needed or reach your ideal body composition, improve your muscle strength, and enhance your overall health, all while protecting your heart.

With this approach, you can:
✅ Lower blood pressure
✅ Improve blood sugar
✅ Address underlying inflammation
✅ Reduce stiffness in your arteries
✅ Maintain heart beat regularity
✅ Lower atherogenic LDL cholesterol
✅ Combat oxidative stress 
✅ Decrease epicardial fat
✅ Lower your cardiovascular disease risk

Because a heart healthy diet that helps you with weight loss is more than just the number on the scale, it’s about protecting your long-term heart health.

Yesterday, I shared about epicardial fat: what it is, why it matters, and how it connects to your heart and metabolic health.

Today, I want to follow up with a visual, especially for my visual learners. 💛

I love using images like this, just like I do inside Optimize, because when you truly understand what’s happening in your body, it becomes so much easier to see how nutrition plays a meaningful role.

If you’re trying to take care of your heart and health, you’re in the right place.

Between overwhelming advice and not enough clear explanations, it’s no wonder it can feel confusing or even discouraging to know what actually helps.

That’s where I come in.

I take a comprehensive look at heart health and help you understand what’s really happening in your body. By breaking down complex information into clear, simple terms, I help you connect the dots.

This empowers you to take proactive control of your heart health, with a targeted plan designed to reduce your risk of cardiovascular complications and support your overall well-being.

Because you deserve to understand your body, and care for it with clarity and confidence.

As a cardiovascular dietitian who truly cares about your heart, I make sure to look at the whole picture, not just one piece of it.

And one piece that’s often overlooked?
👉 Epicardial fat.

Not many people are talking about it… but we really should be.
Here’s why:

It plays a role in all three key aspects of heart health:
🫀 The pump (referring to heart failure)
🫀 The plumbing (referring to atherosclerosis)
🫀 The electrical system (referring to atrial fibrillation)

The good news?

Understanding what it is and what to do about it is a simple but powerful shift that can help you take meaningful action to support your long-term heart and metabolic health.

Everywhere you scroll, there’s an influencer or an ad from an influencer telling you:
“You need this supplement for heart health.”
“Every woman going through menopause needs this one.”
“Take this to boost energy, burn fat, build muscle, lose weight, reduce brain fog, etc…”

And I get it, it may sound convincing.

💊 I get messages every day from supplement companies asking me to promote their products.

But I say no.

Because I didn’t become a cardiovascular dietitian to sell you what’s trendy.

I’m here to recommend only what your heart would benefit from and that needs to be tailored to you.

If I advise supplements, it’s only after I’ve looked at:
✔️ Your labs
✔️ Your diet; what you are eating and what you are avoiding
✔️ Your medication list
✔️ Your medical history
✔️ Your lifestyle and goals

📌 And if someone is recommending you a supplement without knowing that information first?
🚩 Red flag.
They’re not prioritizing your health, they’re prioritizing their sales.

🎥 In this reel, I’m just sharing my thoughts on the current supplement hype and why personalization matters more than marketing.

👉 Watch it for a grounded take from a cardiovascular dietitian who’s not selling supplements, just real, research-based support, when you need it!

There’s a common misconception I hear all the time:�“If I'm fit and active, I don't have to worry about heart disease.”⁠
⁠
I wish that were true.⁠
But being athletic doesn’t make you immune.⁠
⁠
Yes, movement is powerful, but it can also become a stressor on the heart, especially during high-intensity or long-duration training. If not paired with the right nutrition, the results can potentially be harmful rather than helpful.⁠
⁠
Take my client John.⁠
He was the picture of health on the outside:�⁠
🏊‍♂️ Triathlete for 15+ years�⁠
🚴 Multiple Ironman races�⁠
🌱 Vegan lifestyle⁠
⁠
But he still had a:⁠
💥 A massive heart attack�⁠
💥 Triple bypass surgery�⁠
💥 Atrial fibrillation ⁠
⁠
Nobody saw it coming — not even his coach.⁠
⁠
Swipe through to see how we rebuilt his heart health, supported his recovery without abandoning his vegan diet, and helped him feel stronger, leaner, and more energized than ever, with fewer supplements and better performance. ⁠
⁠
🫀 Because what’s happening inside matters more than what you look like outside.⁠
