I Thought My High Cholesterol Was Genetic—Until I Went Plant-Based

"I had my blood work done the day before I started the transition. My total cholesterol was 298, and my LDL was 174. In the first month of following a WFPB diet, I took 76 points off my total cholesterol and 44 points off my LDL cholesterol. The weight started coming off, and I was all in." Listen to this success story written by Joanna Mittman at forksoverknives
