High Cholesterol & Heart Health
Elevated cholesterol levels increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. The good news? Diet and lifestyle changes can dramatically improve your numbers. As a state‑registered dietitian I design heart‑healthy meal plans that lower LDL cholesterol while nourishing your body.
Why Nutrition Matters
Evidence shows that a balanced eating pattern rich in fibre and healthy fats can lower cholesterol and support heart health. In personalised nutrition therapy, we focus on reducing saturated and trans fats, increasing soluble fibre from whole grains, legumes and vegetables, and incorporating heart‑healthy fats like olive oil and omega‑3‑rich fish.
- Swap saturated fats for mono‑ and poly‑unsaturated fats.
- Increase intake of oats, beans and other soluble fibres.
- Add colourful fruits and vegetables for antioxidants.
- Support weight management and blood sugar balance.
