Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can diet really lower cholesterol or BP?
Yes! Clinical research shows that diet alone can reduce LDL cholesterol by 15–30%, and
lower blood pressure naturally—especially when combined with physical activity and stress
management.
Q: Will I need to avoid all fats?
No. We focus on healthy fats—like those from nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil—while
reducing saturated and trans fats that contribute to arterial plaque.
Q: Can I follow this plan if I’m vegetarian or vegan?
Absolutely. We create plant-based heart-friendly meal plans that provide complete nutrition
while protecting your cardiovascular system.
Q: Will I still be able to eat out or enjoy occasional treats?
Yes. Our goal is balance—not perfection. We provide smart eating-out tips, label guidance, and
strategies for special occasions without compromising heart health.
