Based on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Prevent<\/i> and Reverse Heart Disease<\/i>\u00a0by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn \u00a0illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. \u00a0Dr. Esselstyn is an internationally known surgeon, researcher and former clinician at the Cleveland Clinic and a featured expert in the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives.<\/i> Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease <\/i>has helped thousands across the country, and is the book behind Bill Clinton\u2019s life-changing vegan diet.<\/p>\n

Within months of starting the program, all Dr. Esselstyn\u2019s patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[31],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
