Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for anyone who:

• Wants to take ownership of their health

• Feels unsure about what to believe when it comes to cholesterol

• Is considering—or currently taking—medication for cholesterol or heart health

• Has a family history of heart disease and wants to make informed choices

• Simply wants to eat better and feel better, with science-backed guidance

Why Mindset Matters

True transformation begins with a shift in mindset.

We’re often told to fear certain numbers or follow one-size-fits-all advice without question. This course invites you to pause, reflect, and reframe how you think about your body, your choices, and your power.

You’ll learn how to:

• Question long-held assumptions with curiosity rather than fear

• Focus on metabolic health, not just lab results

• Build confidence in your decision-making

• View your health journey as something you co-create—not something happening to you
