Reversing Heart Disease with Plants – A Powerful Transformation Story (Ft. Lauren Bernick)

Diane Randall, M.A., CHC, AADP Season 3 Episode 53

"What if you could actually reverse chronic disease—not just manage symptoms? Today’s guest proved it’s possible."  

I’m your host Diane Randall, and in this eye-opening episode of Plant-Based Curious, I sit down with Lauren Bernick, a health advocate who completely transformed her heart health through plant-based nutrition after receiving a terrifying diagnosis in her 40s.  

Here’s what you’ll discover:  

❤️ The shocking moment her cardiologist said statins for life were her only option—and why she refused to accept that prognosis  

🌱 The exact nutritional approach that helped reverse her coronary artery disease (without medication!)  

💪 7 powerful mindset shifts about aging—from redefining self-care to becoming your own health advocate  

🍎 Simple food swaps that made plant-based healing practical and sustainable  

⚡ The unexpected benefits she experienced—from effortless weight loss to renewed energy.

What moved me most was hearing how:  

• Our medical system often fails to offer real solutions  

• Food can be either poison or medicine—and we get to choose  

• True healing requires both science and self-trust  

This conversation is perfect for anyone who:  

• Has ever felt dismissed by their doctor  

• Wants proof that lifestyle changes can reverse disease  

• Is curious about plant-based healing but needs a real-life example  

Listen now and get inspired to take charge of your health journey!
