From Marg M., 73-years-old, Kelowna, BC
“I’ve battled with high cholesterol my entire life. My Dad passed away at the age of 41 and it wasn’t until years later that I realized it was from a cardiovascular problem that resulted from FH. When I found out I had FH, I had my son and daughter tested. My son has HeFH and his new wife is recently pregnant. Knowing is allowing them to know how to monitor himself and what signs and age he should monitor/test his own child.”
From Karim O, 31-years-old, Calgary, AB
“Thank you for the information on your site about cascade screening. A buddy of mine mentioned that there was a test out there, but I realize that it’s for when there is a family link.”
From Gaby K, 57-years-old, Mississauga, ON
“Thank you for the heart healthy recipes. I always struggle to find something that is good for my husband’s heart and actually tastes good too!”
