Montefiore Cardiac Wellness Program
When I turned thirty
I started to see something happen to all my friends' parents, aunts
and uncles, they started to manifest heart disease (heart attacks and
strokes). I had already gone through that experience with my own dad
who had a stroke. You don't really know how scary the prospect of
losing a love one is until you are in the emergency room, hoping that
they will be okay. I don't wish that on anyone.
To see so many of my
friend's parents, as well as my own family, start to have heart
disease made me realize the importance of preventative and supportive
measures.
I had the pleasure
of being introduced to a program that does just that: Montefiore's
Cardiac Wellness Program.
The program focuses
on reversing heart disease with a whole food/ plant based diet.
The program is led
by Doctor Robert Ostfeld and Registered Dietitian Lauran Graf both
very passionate and amazing people. I truly believe in the work they
are doing and have met some of their patients who have lost not only
weight but have also reversed many health problems.
