Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease: John Bagnulo

Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease: Lisa B. Nelson

Alarmingly, one in three Americans has some type of cardiovascular disease—and that rate is increasing. But the good news is that heart disease can be prevented—and many times even reversed—by making lifestyle changes. Most of these changes are nutrition-based, and they also incorporate stress management, exercise, and emotional well-being.

Join our exceptional team of doctors and nutritionists as they share exciting developments in the field of nutritional science and explain what the past few decades of research have revealed about preventing and reversing disease. With their help, you create a comprehensive holistic-living plan that takes into account the state of your health, risk factors, and your environment, and take home tools to transform your health.

In this program, you learn:

  • How lifestyle and environmental factors contribute to heart disease
  • How biology and your environment come together to contribute to disease
  • Which powerhouse foods are most effective in preventing and reversing all forms of chronic disease
  • Key action steps for transforming the biologic underpinnings of your current health trajectory.

Goals of this program include:

  • Improved body composition (less body fat and more lean muscle)
  • Less inflammation
  • Improved lipid profiles, blood pressure, and insulin sensitivity
  • More energy, stamina, and libido
  • Better stress management
  • More confidence and hope.

Join us for five days to heal your heart and circulatory system.
