Sterling, IL (April 25, 2022) – The CGH Health Foundation is offering a free health-related program, “The Arrest and Reversal of Cardiovascular Diseases with Nutrition: Fact or Fiction?” presented by Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. a former internationally renowned surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic. The program will be online on Friday, May 6 from 12 – 1 pm CT via Zoom.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. for men and women. But, as Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. explains it can be prevented, reversed, and even abolished. Dr. Esselstyn argues that conventional cardiology has failed patients by developing treatments that focus only on the symptoms of heart disease, not the cause. Based on the groundbreaking results of his 20-year nutritional study, the longest study of its kind ever conducted, he explains, using irrefutable scientific evidence, how we can end the heart disease epidemic in the country by changing what we eat.

Dr. Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have followed a plant-based diet since 1984. Dr. Esselstyn presently directs the cardiovascular prevention and reversal program at The Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition Based Cure.
