In this episode of Plant-Based Curious, we explore the transformative potential of reversing heart disease with the power of a plant-based diet. Joining us is Dr. Heather Shenkman, MD, an interventional cardiologist and chief of cardiology at Valley Presbyterian Hospital.

Dr. Shenkman shares her journey into preventive cardiology and her advocacy for plant-based nutrition, drawing from her own experience transitioning to a plant-based diet nearly 19 years ago. She emphasizes the crucial role of lifestyle changes in preventing heart disease and encourages listeners to consider gradual shifts towards plant-based eating tailored to their preferences.

We delve into the reversibility of heart disease, with Dr. Shenkman explaining that while lifestyle factors contribute to 80% of cases, exceptions exist due to genetic and congenital conditions. She stresses the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol.

Despite the challenges, Dr. Shenkman inspires listeners to take proactive steps towards heart health, advocating for achievable goals such as incorporating more plant-based meals and engaging in regular exercise.
