Program Components
- Initial Consultation: The consultation identifies the patient’s cardiovascular health status and provides the elements for the 36 session prescription. It begins with a preventative cardiology consultation with Dr. Barry W. Ramo, the medical director of New Heart. This includes a complete evaluation of the patient’s medical history with appropriate laboratory and imaging studies. Next, the patient attends a consultation with an exercise physiologist, a nutrition specialist and a life coach. Medical insurance may pay for most of this visit.
- New Heart New You prescription: The 36-session program is designed to improve fitness, muscle strength, flexibility and balance. The comprehensive program includes guidelines for nutrition and weight management. The participant trains with our team of exercise fitness specialists to establish a routine of lifelong fitness. The participant attends weekly meetings with nutrition coaches where they will learn to follow a diet for optimal cardiovascular health and weight loss if necessary. The nutrition/weight loss instruction teaches patients how to shop, eat out, read food labels and eat healthy. A lifestyle coach helps you pursue your fitness goals with greater commitment and vigor. The patient gains a clear understanding of what they need to do to maintain a high level of fitness.
