Testimonials

At 56 years old, Sherry Shrallow was a healthy, fit woman — until she had a heart attack. Two months later, she adopted a plant-based diet to ensure her first heart attack would be her last. And a few years later, with the support of RUSH cardiologist Kim Williams, MD, she continues to follow a diet that has helped lower her blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
