Leyla Weighs In: A Metabolic Approach to Heart Failure

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the rising prevalence of chronic heart failure and critiques conventional treatments. She emphasizes the importance of understanding heart failure as a condition marked by low cardiac energy and dysfunction. Leyla discusses the shortcomings of current dietary guidelines and the negative impact of statins on heart health. Highlighting the ‘awesome foursome’ proposed by Dr. Steven Sinatra—Coenzyme Q10, L-Carnitine, D-Ribose, and Magnesium—she explains how these supplements support mitochondrial function and improve heart energy. Leyla advocates for integrative and functional medicine approaches, which, coupled with lifestyle changes, offer promising improvements in managing heart failure without the side effects of standard medications.
