Tools for Maintaining a Tip-Top Ticker 

Cardiovascular disease affects more that 7% of Americans over the age of 20 and is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States. While some factors that play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease — like gender, genetics, and age — are largely out of our control, we can make adjustments to our diets for better heart health while eating many of the delicious foods we already love.

The typical American diet consists of many foods that are high in calories, saturated fat, sodium and added sugar, which lead to increased blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. By incorporating more fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants into our diets, and avoiding overly-processed foods we can help reduce our risk of developing the chronic conditions that contribute to cardiovascular disease. 

When you join the Heart-Smart Nutrition Program, you'll have the support of your personal dietitian, plus all the tools and tips you need to improve your heart health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our program is driven by registered dietitians who are clinically trained in medical nutrition therapy to treat all conditions — including heart conditions — with nutrition. Unlike many "one-size-fits-all" programs, we take a personalized approach to understand who you are and what you're looking to accomplish and then develop a plan just for you.

We've helped many of our 1.5M members improve their heart health, including helping 33% of members with obesity lose >5% of their bodyweight; 39% of members with diabetes improve their blood sugar levels; and 33% of members with hypertension achieve control of their blood pressure.

We also work on your schedule. Whether you are available to meet once a week or once a month, we'll develop a Heart-Smart plan that's right for you.

Unlike many programs, we're not focused on quick fixes or a one-size-fits-all approach. Our primary difference is you!

Whether you're struggling with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or high total cholesterol, or you're recovering from a heart event, Foodsmart can help. When you meet with your personal dietitian, they will assess your individual case, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, then create a custom nutrition plan to improve your heart health.

For the best results, we recommend completing 12 visits with your dietitian, but the length of the program ultimately depends on your goals and the plan you develop with your dietitian. When you meet with your dietitian, they will will work with you to adapt the program to your needs based on your health history, any conditions you are managing, and how you're progressing toward your goals over the course of the program.

For most members, we recommend a visit every two weeks, but we encourage you to talk with your dietitian to determine if you'd like to meet more or less frequently. The recommended cadence will give you enough time between visits to make progress toward your goals have meaningful updates. If you find that you need support between visits, you can message your dietitian directly.
