I am passionate about cardiovascular disease prevention, patient education and the central role nutrition plays in the prevention and treatment of disease. As a practicing cardiologist, I strive to not only treat cardiovascular disease and cardiac risk factors but to also address their cause. As the author of "Slay the Giant: The Power of Prevention in Defeating Heart Disease," I also work to educate and empower individuals to be better advocates for their own care. I founded Step One Foods to help my patients succeed when dietary advice failed. Because "eating right" is not always convenient or easy to do. Our whole, pure and natural foods conveniently deliver essential fiber, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and plant sterols in amounts scientifically proven to enhance cardiovascular health.
