Functional Guide:
Vitamin K2 (Directs Calcium)
Antioxidants (Prevents LDL Oxidation)
Soluble Fiber (Binds Bile Acids)
Strictly eliminate processed trans fats & sugars
⚠️ Protocol: Select ONE option per meal. Atherosclerosis is driven by the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and the subsequent calcification of arterial walls. This protocol is engineered to stabilize and defend against plaque formation by heavily utilizing antioxidants to prevent LDL oxidation, Vitamin K2 to mobilize calcium out of the arteries, and potent soluble fibers to sweep out excess circulating lipids.
| Preparation: Avoid all deep-frying. Utilize steaming, boiling, or light sautéing to preserve the delicate polyphenols and antioxidants in the food matrix.
| Monitoring: Monitor lipid panels (ApoB, sdLDL, HDL) and inflammatory markers (hs-CRP). If on statins, consult your physician.

This meal plan is an educational nutritional framework only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It must not be commenced without the written approval of a licensed physician or cardiologist.
Blood Thinner Interactions Natto contains Nattokinase, a powerful natural blood thinner, and foods like spinach/kale are high in Vitamin K1 (which clots blood). If you are on Warfarin, Coumadin, or other anticoagulants, you MUST consult your doctor, as this diet will directly alter your INR/Prothrombin time.
Statin Considerations If you are on cholesterol-lowering statin medications, be aware that this diet aggressively lowers lipids. Your doctor may need to monitor your lipid panel and adjust medication to prevent excessively low levels.
Sodium Restriction While minimizing added salt is crucial for blood pressure, complete elimination can be dangerous. Use herbs, spices, and lemon juice for flavor. Avoid all processed, canned, and packaged foods.
