Sustainable Behavior Changes for Cardiovascular Health: Navigating Client Recommendations in a Socially Influenced SocietyCardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death in the U.S. since 1950 but about 80 percent of deaths from premature heart disease and stroke are preventable with lifestyle changes. In a world where millions of people are fed misguided information about following a carnivore diet, avoiding seed oils, eating very low-calorie meals, or storing avocados in water to prolong their goodness for heart health, how do we ground our clients in the evidence and support them in truly sustainable and impactful behavior changes for CV health and well-being?
In this presentation, Dr. Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, MA, RD, ACSM-EP, will review current diet and lifestyle recommendations for CVD risk reduction as well as tips for navigating client discussions in the context of contradictory or incomplete information seen on social media and in traditional media. Not only will you walk away feeling up to date on current research and recommendations related to nutrition and CVD risk reduction, you’ll also be prepared to address media claims/misinformation and provide meaningful, evidenced-based guidance that your clients can sustain.
