Medical Nutrition Therapy to Improve Cardiovascular Outcomes
Your heart health is unique. That’s why personalized nutrition works better than generic diets—because it’s based on your individual metabolism, genetics, and lifestyle. Our healthy heart nutrition program targets your specific biomarkers and personal risk profile.
Cardiovascular Disease Involves More Than Cholesterol
Chronic low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction are all critical drivers of heart disease. Our plan uses dietary strategies—like optimizing dietary fats, prioritizing micronutrient adequacy, and managing glycemic load to address these underlying metabolic pathways that can lead to cardiovascular disease risk.
After more than 20 years in clinical nutrition, I’ve learned that the best results come from looking beyond standard heart-health advice. By addressing personal factors like insulin resistance, cholesterol particle patterns, and inflammation, we can create a plan that truly supports your heart health.
Effective nutrition plans that improve cardiovascular risk factors have to be carefully tailored to the individual. We start with a comprehensive assessment and apply the latest science to apply the appropriate dietary framework. Heart Health isn’t about eating less, it’s more often about eating smart."

Before working with Smart Plate, I was constantly guessing—why am I high now? Why did I crash after lunch? My numbers were a mystery. Now I understand my patterns and what to do about them. It’s been life-changing." Janila
