The segment begins by noting that heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S., taking more than 375,000 lives each year. It is emphasized that the new hospital program is showing a lot of promise, as it’s not only proven to prevent future heart episodes, but actually reverse heart disease in the body.

Later, the segment follows the experience of Beth Brockenbush, one of six current participants at the Arlington hospital program. The reporter shares a thorough overview of the program explaining, “The program developed by respected researcher Dr. Dean Ornish treats patients by using a four pronged approach; exercise, a strict plant-based diet, meditation and yoga for stress relief and group therapy.”

Dr. Sunita Koshy-Nesbitt, a cardiologist at Arlington Memorial and the Medical Director of the program, points out that all four of those pillars are equally weighted and not one pillar is more important than another.
