Heart Smart: Foods, Nutrients and the Numbers That Matter

The health of your heart and blood vessels is shaped by many interconnected factors, from the foods you eat and the way your body regulates blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar to inflammation, genetics and lifestyle.

Join clinical herbalist and functional medicine practitioner Catherine McMahon for an informative talk exploring the foods, nutrients and everyday habits that can help support healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, circulation and arterial function. Discover how fibre, healthy fats, colourful plant foods and key nutrients can contribute to a heart-protective diet, alongside evidence-informed supplements and herbal supports.

We’ll also look beyond the standard cholesterol test to explore important cardiovascular biomarkers, including ApoB, ApoA, lipoprotein(a), inflammation and insulin regulation—and what these numbers may reveal about your individual cardiovascular risk.

Perfect for anyone who wants to take a proactive, practical approach to protecting their heart and long-term cardiovascular health.
