This flies in the face of the latest trends in personalized medicine .

 But this is largely a myth . In our research , there wasn’t one set of lifestyle recommendations for reversing heart disease and different ones for reversing prostate cancer , diabetes , and other chronic illnesses . It was the same lifestyle medicine program for reversing all of these .

-Although this may seem like a radical theory , on further reflection it’s not really that surprising . We know , for example , that regular exercise will help prevent and improve a wide variety of conditions — it’s not disease - specific — whereas a sedentary lifestyle significantly increases the risk of many chronic diseases — also not disease - specific .

-The guiding principle of our lifestyle medicine program has always been based on addressing the underlying causes of illnesses on many levels simultaneously . By analogy , if you have a rock in your shoe , don’t blame the stone , use painkillers or surgery to cut the affected nerves , or wear thicker socks — just take out the rock !

 The American Heart Association diet includes fish , chicken , and beef in moderate amounts . While it’s a step in the right direction , a recent study provided more evidence to explain why this diet doesn’t go far enough to reverse heart disease in most people . In this study , 100 patients with coronary heart disease were placed on a whole - foods vegan diet or an American Heart Association – recommended diet . After only eight weeks , inflammation was significantly lower in the vegan group compared with those on the American Heart Association recommended diet , as measured by highly sensitive C - reactive protein assays , even though weight loss was the same in both groups .
