CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

20 Hours

Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death – and yet much of the prevailing narrative around its causes and treatment is outdated, incomplete, and heavily influenced by legacy dogma.

We explore everything from cholesterol, statins, and diagnostic markers to emerging risk factors, diet, supplements, and even the psychological and social aspects of recovery after a cardiac event.

If you’ve ever felt backed into a corner by the fear-driven mainstream approach, unsure how to navigate statin pressure, cholesterol myths, or high-risk patients, this training is for you.
