Every 33 seconds someone dies of heart disease
80% of those deaths are preventable with healthy eating, exercise and medications, yet the traditional health system has failed to make lasting change:
​
- Only 50% of patients take their medications, and fewer make lasting changes to diet and exercise
​
- Heart Disease is projected toonly get worse over the next decade
