Transform Your Heart Health with Expert Nutrition
How Can a Cardiovascular Dietitian Help with Heart Health?
Effective management and prevention of cardiovascular diseases begins with understanding and optimizing your nutrition. Our cardiovascular dietitians take a comprehensive approach to your health, examining not just your nutrition, but your entire lifestyle.

Whether you’ve been advised to lower your cholesterol, follow a low-sodium diet to manage high blood pressure, or you have a family history of heart disease, our expert team is equipped to provide the guidance you need to take control of your heart health.

CINDY FOUND A PARTNER IN HER JOURNEY
“After our first appointment I left feeling empowered and supported.”
I highly recommend Valerie! Her engaging personality is extremely welcoming and motivating! Valerie’s positive energy is contagious! Valerie listens, partners w/ clients by setting agreed upon goals and also provides food and beverage suggestions that encourage dietary changes resulting in weight loss along w/ improved health & wellness.
MAGGIE F HAS LEARNED ABOUT HERSELF AND HER EMOTIONAL NEEDS
“Their approach to nutrition is empowering, validating, and healing.”
I have worked with both Valerie and Devon and have absolutely loved my experience! With them I am learning so much about myself and my body/emotional needs. I have worked with other nutritionists and dietitians in the past with no success, and I think it’s the No Diet approach of working from your inner motivations and psychology outward that creates a much bigger impact. I cannot recommend them enough!

Which Foods Are Best for Heart Health?
- Oily Fish: Salmon, tuna, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation and lower triglycerides.
- Fruits and Vegetables: Provide fiber and essential vitamins and minerals that support heart health.
- Leafy Greens: Kale, spinach and chard are great sources of vitamin K, folic acid, calcium and antioxidants, all of which can help improve heart health.
- Berries: Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries all contain polyphenols (powerful antioxidants which can fight inflammation). They also have fiber and other nutrients that may lower LDL (the “bad” cholesterol).
- Legumes: Known for their high fiber content, beans also have protein and are low in saturated fat. They’re a great alternative for a meatless meal!
- Nuts and Seeds: These healthy fats are satiating, give us fiber and other nutrients such as antioxidants and omega 3s.
- Whole Grains: Brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa and oats are all good examples of whole grains which will give us more fiber, B vitamins among other nutrients. Making at least half the grains we eat whole grains is a good target.
