We're wrapping up National Heart Health Month with an inspiring conversation with Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a true pioneer in heart health and a passionate advocate for the power of a whole-food, plant-based diet.

With decades of experience as Director of the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Reversal Program at the Cleveland Clinic Center of Prevention and Wellness, he’s seen firsthand how a whole foods, plant-based diet without added oil, sugar, or sodium can not only prevent, but actually reverse heart disease.

Dr. Esselstyn shares nine of the ways he has shown reversal of disease through incredible stories from his patients who have transformed their heart health.

These real-life successes prove that change is possible—at any age and any stage. If you're looking for hope and a path to a healthier heart, this episode is for you!
