The problem
We keep telling patients to eat better. Then we send them home.
Nutrition is foundational to cardiovascular and brain health. But healthcare often stops at advice. Daily life still determines whether that advice becomes behavior.
The patient still has to
01Understand what to eat
02Afford it
03Shop for it
04Get it home
05Prepare it
06Sustain the behavior
The problem is not another recommendation. The problem is execution.
