Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

About the Book

Dr. Dean Ornish is the first clinician to offer documented proof that heart disease can be halted, or even reversed, simply by changing your lifestyle. Based on his internationally acclaimed scientific study, which has now been ongoing for years, Dr. Ornish’s program has yielded amazing results. Participants reduced or discontinued medications; they learned how to lower high blood pressure; their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they felt more energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating more; and blockages in coronary arteries were actually reduced.

In his breakthrough book, Dr. Ornish presents this and other dramatic evidence and guides you, step-by-step, through the extraordinary Opening Your Heart program, which is winning landmark approval from America’s health insurers. The program takes you beyond the purely physical side of health care to include the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects so vital to healing. This book represents the best modern medicine has to offer. It can inspire you to open your heart to a longer, better, happier life.

Dr. Udai’s Review

Dr. Dean Ornish is one of the first physicians to demonstrate the powerful benefits of diet and lifestyle on coronary artery disease. In the 1990s, Dr. Dean Ornish published the Lifestyle Heart Trial, a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) that demonstrated regression of coronary artery stenosis at one and five years following an intervention that included stress reduction training, exercise, and a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet. After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and later having two blocked coronary stents, Bill Clinton began working with Dr. Ornish and adopted a Whole Food Plant-Based diet with occasional fish around 2010. Since then, he has not required any additional heart procedures.
