CLIENT SUCCESS STORY:
A 60 year old woman came to see me because her blood pressure was elevated and her doctor wanted to increase her blood pressure medications but she did not want to.
During our initial consultation, I reviewed her medical history, blood work trends, medication list, lifestyle and food preferences, among a lot of other things. I noticed that her kidney function declined for the first time in the last 3 years by 15 points, putting her at stage 3 kidney disease. And despite her being on a statin, her lipid panel was in bad shape.
She was a busy woman, who didn’t like to cook and only ate breakfast at home. She frequented restaurants for lunch and dinner, and didn’t want to change that lifestyle habit.
I created a personalized heart healthy, low sodium, kidney friendly diet plan to suit her needs, and we worked together to implement it seamlessly.
I did not change her lifestyle pattern of dining out at restaurants for lunch and dinner because if I did, it wouldn’t be a realistic long term lifestyle change.
In 3 months, she reversed her kidney disease (egfr from 35 -> 63), her lipid panel is trending beautifully, and her blood pressure normalized, and the doctor is actually lowering her medication (and mentioned if it is maintained for 6 months, he will likely discontinue it).
While many of my clients come for one specific issue, a comprehensive evaluation shows that there is likely more to the picture - whether it is a nutrient deficiency, an abnormal laboratory finding, an increased waist circumference (because most people think it is your pant size which is NOT true), or an imbalance of sleep/stress/nutrition/alcohol/exercise.
❤️ I would love to help you optimize your health and stave off heart disease.
