The LDL Food Lab

It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!

The LDL Food Lab is for people who want to lower LDL naturally through food: a low-fat, high-fiber, plant-based way of eating with no meat or dairy. The food approach is inspired by the work of Drs. Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, and John McDougall, and by the Engine 2 program. We provide practical resources and ongoing accountability to help you put it into practice and stay on track.

No crash dieting.
No calorie counting.
Just a clear place to start, support as you go, and a way to keep showing up for the food choices you’ve decided to make.

What Similar Programs Have Reported

  • Engine 2 Rescue’s 7-day program reported average changes of: total cholesterol −26 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol −24 mg/dL, triglycerides −23 mg/dL, blood pressure −10/5 mmHg, and weight −3.0 lbs.
  • Dr. Dean Ornish’s lifestyle program reported improvement in coronary heart disease measures, including less disease progression among participants who adhered to the program.
  • Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s research reported fewer cardiac events among many participants with advanced coronary artery disease who followed his intensive program.

These results come from different programs and participants—not the LDL Food Lab. Drs. Ornish and Esselstyn pioneered this work, and Dr. John McDougall inspired many people as well. We’re not claiming to reproduce their programs or results. We’re here to help you follow the food approach and stay with it.

The longer and more consistently people follow this eating pattern, the more opportunity it has to support their health. Individual results vary. Work with your healthcare provider on your health, testing, and treatment.

What You’ll Get

Immediate access after purchase. Start anytime.

Start With One Anchor Meal

You don’t have to overhaul your whole diet on day one. Begin with one structured high-fiber meal a day for 14 days, then keep building at a pace that works for you.

  1. Eat one anchor meal daily
    Choose a structured meal containing approximately 25–40g of fiber.
  2. Leave meat and cheese out of that meal
    Keep the structure simple and repeatable.
  3. Repeat for 14 days
    No macro tracking. No calorie counting.
  4. Track your completion
    Use the one-page tracker to help you stay consistent.

This is a starting point—not a promise about your cholesterol in 14 days. The membership is here to help you keep practicing the food approach over time.
