Nutrition

Lowering your cholesterol and triglycerides levels can be largely accomplished with diet changes. Even if you are on cholesterol-lowering medications, you may be able to reduce your dose if you alter your diet. You may also need help to lower your sodium intake to lower your blood pressure. Many clients have lost weight, changed their diet, and thus lowered their need for all medications. We use the DASH diet and Mediterranean diet as guides.
