The Heart-Healthy Living Programme

Lower your cholesterol - with clear guidance and zero extremes

A doctor-designed, self-guided 12-week programme that turns evidence into easy, everyday actions to improve your next blood test.

What this programme helps you do

  • Lower cholesterol with confidence - know exactly which changes move the needle.

  • Cut through the noise - calm, clinical guidance instead of conflicting advice.

  • Build habits you can keep - no rigid rules, no “start again Monday.”

  • Feel better, sooner - more energy, steadier appetite, clearer plan.

 

“I went from overwhelmed to in control. My total cholesterol dropped from 6.6 to 3.6 in 3 months - without feeling like I was on a diet.”

Who it's for

  • Adults diagnosed with high cholesterol (or a family history)

  • You’d like to avoid or reduce reliance on statins if appropriate and want to do everything lifestyle can offer

  • You'd like to finally achieve balance rather than extremes or yo-yo diets and want a plan that fits around work, family and your social life

 

Who it’s not for
 

If you want a strict meal plan, a rapid detox, or rules that ban entire food groups, this isn’t the right fit. 

What’s inside (the plan you’ll actually use)

 

  • Doctor-designed, 12-chapter handbook that turns evidence into everyday actions: follow it at your own pace or one chapter per week.

  • Interactive tools in every chapter: Mindset check-ins, Focus of the Week, quizzes to lock in learning, and weekly progress trackers so you always know what to do next. 

  • Habit Scorecards in Week 0, 6 & 12: to baseline your current habits and measure progress over time.

  • Real-life food guidance: including a balanced-plate walkthrough, an example weekly meal plan, and a Fast-Food Cheat Sheet for smarter on-the-go choices.

  • High-impact nutrition resources: such as saturated-fat swap tables and a fibre source table (with soluble vs insoluble targets) so you can make quick, confident swaps at the supermarket.
