Nutrition and lifestyle play a huge role in the formation- and prevention - of heart disease. Other nutrition-related conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, and being overweight also contribute to your heart disease risk.
It's time to learn the evidence-based nutritional strategies that can help defy the odds and have a strong, healthy heart for decades to come.
A review of conditions that affect the heart, and how to monitor them.
Hi! I'm Lisa Hillmann, a Registered Dietitian and Functional Nutritionist, specializing in Nutrigenomic testing. My former career was in Genetic Counseling where I learned how to translate complex information to patients in a way that was understandable and foundational for decision making.
The data on heart disease in America is staggering: 1 in 5 deaths are caused by heart conditions, and in the US someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds (CDC-Heart Disease Facts). We all need to be better educated about the risks and prevention strategies of this disease.
Take a look at my new ebook The Ultimate Guide to Nutrition and Heart Health to learn the basics of why nutrition is important for heart health, strategies to lower your risks, and discover some great recipes to try.
Another option to modify your risk of heart disease is to take a nutrigenomic test where your unique biology is revealed along with specific, personalized strategies to overcome these genetic findings. I touch on this in the book, but I'm eager to share more about this exciting, personalized approach to nutrition care.
Finally, consider working with me to learn more about heart disease prevention, the genetic contribution to heart disease, and obtain guidance on making new, healthy habits stick. Contact me to discuss your concerns and learn how I can help!
