Heart Health & Metabolic Support in Brisbane
Cholesterol, blood pressure, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk are all connected to your metabolic health — and all responsive to nutrition.
Heart health and metabolic health are usually the same conversation. Insulin resistance, blood sugar instability, abdominal fat, and fatty liver all sit underneath rising cholesterol, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk.
Which is good news: the things that improve metabolic health improve heart health at the same time. You don't need a separate strategy for each.

Frequently asked questions
Is cholesterol really about saturated fat?+
It's more nuanced than that. Triglycerides, HDL, and ApoB respond strongly to blood sugar regulation, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates. LDL responds to dietary patterns including saturated fat. We look at your whole profile.
Will I have to give up red meat?+
No. Heart-healthy eating is a pattern, not a single food. We work with what you actually enjoy and adjust the overall pattern.
Can nutrition reverse fatty liver?+
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is highly responsive to nutrition — particularly through improving insulin sensitivity. Many people see liver enzymes normalise within months of consistent change.
