Smoking, sedentary lifestyle, increased weight, and high-sodium, high-fat diets are all significant contributors to cardiovascular disease that improve with intervention. Changing lifelong habits takes time and effort, and individuals' success is strongly correlated with levels of support they receive.
The Medical Nutrition Risk Reduction Clinic is designed to address this enormous disease burden with evidence-based interventions for individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease, including those with newly diagnosed diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol.
The clinic offers ongoing support and customized plans to help people take control of their health and meet modest, achievable goals that reduce cardiac disease risk and improve well-being.
