Who it’s for

​

• You’ve been diagnosed with high cholesterol (or have a strong family history) and want calm, clinical guidance you can trust.

• You like learning in short videos with clear “do this next” steps.

• You’re short on time but committed to protecting long-term heart health - ideally without statins (where appropriate).

• You prefer balance over all-or-nothing rules and want a plan that fits real life.

 

What’s inside the Toolkit

​

• 12-chapter Heart-Healthy Living Handbook: Doctor-designed, jargon-free, with checklists and real-life advice for eating out, family meals and busy weeks.

• 12 bite-size webinars (5–15 mins each): Simple science + practical demonstrations. Each video ends with “Do this next” actions.

• Interactive quizzes: Short check-ins to lock in learning and build confidence as you go.

• Weekly Action-Plan Tracker: Your one-page focus for the week: priorities, quick wins, and a simple progress view.
