Cardiovascular Disease. She has been doing nutritional
therapy for the past 8 years under the advisement of
her cardiologist. She has learned through education of
her disease and nutrition that she can keep her Lupus
under control. She does not take any prescriptions for
her Lupus. She has not been hospitalized for her Lupus
since doing the nutritional therapy. She has a moto: “
She eats to live not live to eat.”
Each individual will learn about whole foods
that will help with their disease. Each
individual will have a clinical nutritionist and
personal chef to help with their menus.

clinical nutritionist to help with their vitamin
and mineral supplementation, along with the
