Let’s start with Dr. Esselstyn himself. He’s the cardiologist who has saved thousands of people after they were told by their physicians that nothing more could be done for their heart disease. Before working with patients and conducting formal studies, he tested his theories on himself. In just two months, he went from a total cholesterol of 185 to 155. Once he eliminated all oil and dairy, his cholesterol dropped to 119 mg/dL without any medication. And no, low cholesterol is NOT dangerous—it actually makes you immune to heart attacks. Dr. Esselstyn has confirmed this over and over.

Another example is my friend Sean. He had tried Keto, Paleo, and other low-carb diets to lower cholesterol, but to his surprise, his cholesterol kept going up. After only two weeks of following this diet, he lowered his total cholesterol by 60 points! Yes, in just two weeks. Here’s a video of him talking about it, in case you’re curious.

My mom is another great example. She had been trying for over 40 years to lower her cholesterol. There were times when her total cholesterol shot up to over 300. When she followed this diet, her cholesterol dropped to the normal range in less than 30 days. Now, she can continue on this path to lower her cholesterol below 150 and reach immunity.

The last example I’ll share is a powerful one. Her name is Gloria, and she was struggling with tachycardia. She was taking medication for her heart and high blood pressure. She said, “Because my health improved so drastically, my doctor was able to stop prescribing heart medication and cut my blood pressure medication in half! I also lost 19 pounds very quickly in the process.” Her insomnia and gastritis also went away.

That’s how powerful nutrition is.
