The Problem
Every 12 minutes, heart disease claims a life in Australia—making cardiovascular disease (CVD) responsible for one in four deaths nationally. It’s the country’s number one killer; but up to 80% of cases are preventable through diet and lifestyle changes.
The Solution
Doctors For Nutrition, an independent not-for-profit committed to evidence-based education, announces “Tackling Heart Disease” – the first doctor-approved public course in Australia educating people how to prevent, manage and even reverse heart disease using diet and lifestyle.
Developed by Australian doctors and health experts, Tackling Heart Disease is a fully-referenced, fact-based and accessible on-demand program that covers:
-
Clear explanations of how diet and lifestyle impact heart health and CVD risk
-
Practical guidance, recipes, and resources to support change
-
Evidence-based information for anyone living with heart disease, at risk, or wanting to protect their health long-term
“Heart disease devastates thousands of Australian families every year, but there is hope—prevention and reversal are possible,” said Rebecca Stonor, DFN's CEO. “This course empowers individuals to take charge of their heart health, backed by the latest nutrition science.”
The program is also an excellent resource for medical professionals to deepen their knowledge and recommend to patients as a trusted companion for clinical care.
