Naturopathic Primary Care Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction Model

Abstract

It is a privilege to be able to provide personalized holistic medicine at a time with reliable, efficient assessment tools, well-tested therapeutic programs and a renewed societal acceptance that “prevention is the best medicine”. With greater public knowledge of the role for a healthy diet and lifestyle in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction, naturopathic doctors have been able to position themselves as the developers and managers of detailed patient heart-health wellness plans.
