The path to heart health includes 8 simple elements, that when maximized help to reduce your risk of developing heart disease, and dying for heart disease. Are you looking for a functional medicine approach to heart health, that is practical and not going to break the bank? I got you covered.
So here is the big reveal the eight elements that can help reduce your risk of heart disease:

When addressed individually, each one of these essential 8 elements can reduce your risk of heart disease. But the true power comes when each one of these elements is maximized. Based upon clinical studies, looking at 762,000 people, only 1 in 5 people had ideal heart health, and only 32 people had perfect heart health.
