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."

— Martha McHenry, President, Smart Plate Nutrition, RDN, LD, CDCES

Patients rely on our expertise

We practice nutritional therapy guided by cardiometabolic science and proven clinical methods—far removed from mass-market diet fads.

  • Clinical Experience That Counts

    Your care is overseen by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) with years of focused clinical training and practice in cardiovascular and metabolic nutrition.

  • Evidence-Based Nutritional Interventions

    Our guidelines draw on peer-reviewed cardiovascular research and metabolic medicine, not on popular media trends.

  • Tailored Plans for Measurable Heart Health

    Alongside dietary intake and lifestyle factors to develop a truly individualized plan, we can also include test results of advanced markers such ApoB, hs-CRP, and insulin sensitivity.

A Heart Nutrition Program Built Just For You

Every participant in our healthy heart nutrition program receives a care plan addressing critical markers that predict cardiovascular health.

  • Therapeutic Dietary Frameworks (TLC, DASH, Mediterranean)

    We blend proven clinical dietary approaches—like the DASH or Mediterranean diet—with your unique metabolic data, ensuring blood pressure, lipids, and inflammation remain in optimal ranges.

  • Body Composition & Metabolic Assessments

    Using precise body composition analysis, we factor in lean mass and metabolic rate—helpful for designing a diet that supports heart function rather than hindering it.

  • Advanced Micronutrient Testing

    Evaluates key micronutrients (e.g., magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3 index) influencing arterial health, blood pressure, and inflammation.

  • Cardiogenomic Testing

    Identifies genetic variants affecting cholesterol metabolism, salt sensitivity, and inflammatory regulation—enabling tighter alignment between diet and your physiology.

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
