Diet is one of the most powerful tools for preventing cardiovascular disease, but emerging research is challenging traditional advice and reshaping our approach. This talk will dive into the latest evidence on heart-healthy eating, from the role of ultra-processed foods and plant-based diets to the impact of specific nutrients like omega-3s, fiber, and fermented foods.  We'll explore the science behind precision nutrition, how genetic and metabolic factors influence dietary responses and discuss the latest debates, including saturated fat, dairy, and the evolving role of intermittent fasting.  Join me as we separate fact from fiction and uncover how the newest nutritional strategies can be harnessed to optimize heart health and prevent CVD more effectively than ever before.
