Listen To Your Heart: Getting To The Root Of Heart Disease

If a plant-based diet and more exercise lead to greater heart health, why don’t we follow these recommendations? The numbers don’t lie: Heart disease (and all it entails) is a serious problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is the leading cause of death among most ethnicities in the United States; that’s 610,000 people annually—one out of four deaths in a year. Then consider that almost three-quarters of a million Americans have a heart attack in a year. If there’s something you could learn to benefit your heart, wouldn’t you want to?

By bringing together a dynamic team of trusted experts, the Getting to the Root of Heart Disease event will provide a wide-ranging and engaging perspective on heart health.
