Cardiometabolic Health

Why It Matters

Nearly 1 in 2 U.S. adults has high blood pressure.

38% of adults have elevated cholesterol or triglycerides.

1 in 3 adults has fatty liver disease — often without symptoms.

Cardiovascular disease remains the #1 cause of death globally.

Nutrition counseling can reduce cardiovascular risk by up to 30% when combined with sustainable lifestyle changes.

Could This Be You?

Have elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood pressure

Are navigating metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or insulin resistance

Have been told your liver enzymes are high or you may have fatty liver

Have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or Type 2 diabetes

Feel like you “eat pretty well” but your lab results tell a different story

Take medications and want to optimize nutrition to enhance their effectiveness or get off of them completely

Want to reduce cardiovascular risk without restrictive diets or food rules

How We Help

Lab Analysis & Interpretation

Translate your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and liver enzyme results into actionable steps.

Prescription Planning

Develop targeted nutrition plans that integrate with medication, including GLP-1s, supporting heart health without restrictive diets.

Inflammation Reduction

Use anti-inflammatory foods to target silent inflammation that contributes to cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Balanced Meal Structuring

Build meals that prioritize fiber, unsaturated fats, and slow-digesting carbohydrates to support heart health.

Weight-Neutral Progress

Focus on health behavior change, not weight-centric goals, to improve labs and reduce risk factors.

Lifestyle & Stress Integration

Incorporate sleep, stress, alcohol intake, and movement strategies to complement dietary changes.

Provider Collaboration

Work with your medical team to monitor progress, adjust medications, and track lab changes over time.

Cardiometabolic Conditions We Support

  • High Cholesterol & Triglycerides

  • High Cholesterol & Triglycerides

    Elevated lipids can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke — but nutrition plays a key role in management.

    How We Help

    • Increase soluble fiber and plant sterols to reduce LDL cholesterol
    • Incorporate omega-3s and unsaturated fats to lower triglycerides
    • Limit added sugars and refined carbs that can elevate lipid levels
    • Support realistic, sustainable habit changes for long-term heart health

  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

    Often symptomless, hypertension can increase the risk of cardiovascular and kidney disease.

    How We Help

    • Focus on potassium-rich foods while reducing sodium and processed foods
    • Align with DASH eating principles without rigid rules
    • Integrate hydration, magnesium, and stress management to support lower readings
    • Educate on label reading to identify hidden sodium and added sugars
    •  

  • Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD/ NAFLD)

  • Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD/NAFLD)

    Fat accumulation in the liver is often tied to insulin resistance and can be reversible through targeted nutrition.

    How We Help

    • Prioritize fiber, unsaturated fats, and limit fructose from added sugars
    • Adjust carbohydrate quality and timing to stabilize blood sugar
    • Include nutrient-dense foods like choline, vitamin E, and omega-3s to support liver health
    • Recommend moderate, sustained caloric deficit (only if appropriate)

  • Kidney Disease (Early Stage CKD)

  • Kidney Disease (Early Stage CKD)

    Early-stage CKD often requires careful dietary modifications to protect kidney function and prevent further progression.

    How We Help

    • Adjust protein, phosphorus, and potassium based on lab results
    • Focus on nutrient-dense foods that prevent malnutrition and maintain energy
    • Monitor sodium intake and support blood pressure control
    • Coordinate with your nephrologist to align dietary goals with medical treatment
