You'll learn: Why genetic markers aren't a death sentenceWhy inflammation is a worse sign than cholesterolWhat vitamins are most important for good heart health – and they're not what you think Dr. Dana Cohen is renowned by her peers and beloved by patients for her nuanced practice of Integrative Medicine. In practice for over 15 years, she trained under the late Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the iconic Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution, and Dr. Ronald L.
