We all know someone who has heart disease. Chances are, you know a lot of people who’ve been affected by this modern plague. A large part of medicine is patient-education. We realized that although we were treating patients, we were not educating them properly. As a physician you don’t recognize that the worst time to explain a disease to the patient is soon after telling them their diagnosis -- that is, until you, the physician become the patient. That is exactly what we have done here. We’ve put ourselves into your shoes and we're going to teach you to take charge of your health. We do not preach fad diets or peddle magic pills. Life is not that easy. There certainly is no easy way around heart disease. Your greatest enemy is the hand with which you eat. The place to begin reforming your life begins with your dinner plate and ends with your walking shoes. We hope that you will contemplate the things you will read and if necessary, you will slowly and willingly make the effort necessary for a heart healthier life.
