Did you know that every forty seconds, someone in the US suffers a heart attack or stroke, and every sixty-five seconds someone develops dementia? The culprit is cardiovascular disease―and rates are soaring in younger, seemingly healthy people. Busting every myth we have about cardiovascular health, including that women are less likely to suffer from heart attacks and strokes, world-renowned cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD, and Amy Doneen, DNP, have pioneered a lifesaving method to prevent these devastating events―and reverse the disease that causes them.

The BaleDoneen Method transcends the medical silos of cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, and others with a holistic approach designed to protect and optimize the health of the heart, brain, and other vital organs, as well as the blood vessels that supply them. With laser-sharp focus, Bale and Doneen provide the latest research on how your oral health is contributing to the decline of your heart. Captivating and revolutionary, Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain is a unique and comprehensive program to prevent chronic diseases and memory loss in people of all ages regardless of their body type, medical history, or genes. Offering a roadmap to lifelong arterial wellness, it includes:

• Precision medical methods to prevent diseases of aging
• The best and worst supplements and foods for your heart
• Ten lifestyle moves that lower dementia risk by 35 percent
• Information about genes that raise cardiovascular risk as much as smoking

Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain will equip you with the knowledge you need to approach your healthcare as an empowered and informed patient.

Dr. Bradley Bale and Dr. Amy Doneen are international leaders in the prevention of heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and chronic disease such as dementia and heart failure. They Co-founded the BaleDoneen Method in 1999, which has shown in peer-reviewed studies to effectively identify, stabilize and reverse arterial disease.
