Medical Nutrition Therapy
for Heart Disease

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It includes conditions such as congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Routine physicals and bloodwork can help identify cardiovascular risk factors early. Working with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) at Nutrition HealthWorks provides medical nutrition therapy focused on heart disease prevention and long-term cardiovascular health.

Whether you have been diagnosed with heart disease or are managing risk factors that may lead to cardiac issues, nutrition plays a key role in improving heart health and reducing future risk. Common risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction. With evidence-based nutrition support, many of these conditions can be managed through sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes.
