We will describe pathophysiology of diet and exercise in its relationship to chronic heart disease, particularly hypertension and hyperlipidemia. We will discuss the latest evidenced-based research of whole food, plant-based type diets and exercise in treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. We will teach specific methods to implement lifestyle changes during patient clinic, to utilize team-based approaches with other healthcare team members, and to collect and monitor long-term data to continue successful progress in managing hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize and summarize pathophysiologic contribution of standard diets and physical inactivity to the development of hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
  • Interpret and classify health benefits of whole food, plant-based diets and regular exercise as treatment modalities for hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
  • Implement lifestyle methods and organize team approaches in a patient-centered manner to ensure future successful treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
