Cardiac Wellness & Risk Reduction Program

A New Approach to Heart Health at Southwest Cardiovascular Associates

We are excited to introduce the Cardiac Wellness & Risk Reduction Program—a comprehensive approach to improving your heart health and overall well-being.

Your physician at Southwest Cardiovascular Associates has partnered with Nudj Health to offer a lifestyle and emotional health program that supports long-term heart health. Clinical evidence shows that 80% of chronic disease is related to lifestyle choices and stress—by making positive changes, you can take control of your health.
This program is designed to increase your health—not just how long you live, but how well you live. It is tailored to your needs and goals, following guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).

Real Patient Success Stories

Patients from the Risk Reduction Program continue to share their positive outcomes.

“My cardiologist prescribed the Nudj Wellness Program to improve my heart health. My depression, anxiety, and blood pressure scores have all gone down because Nudj has made me think about and act on my lifestyle differently.”

- Tommy F. (Patient since 2022)

“I lost 41 lbs in three months, which allowed me to cancel a bone spur surgery. I’m able to walk 40 minutes on the treadmill without breaking a sweat, and I still get to enjoy my Taco Tuesdays and Catfish Fridays. Nudj has completely changed the way I look at life and my health.”

- Becky K. (Patient Since 2022)

“I was still having bouts of depression from my husband’s passing from five years ago. I wasn’t able to move forward on my own, so a Care Manager suggested I attend a grief group class where I was able to meet others going through similar situations. Since addressing my mental health, I’ve been sleeping better and I feel more motivated to live a healthier life. I truly believe Nudj saved my life.”
