🧠 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Vivahealthy, and who is it for?
If you've been told to watch your salt for blood pressure, that's good advice-but it's only part of the story. One sneaky driver of high blood pressure is blood sugar spikes-caused by high-glycemic foods. When you eat high-glycemic foods (think: white bread, sugary cereal, instant noodles), your blood sugar risesquickly. This triggers a rush of insulin and stress hormones like cortisol, which:
Cause blood vessels to tighten
Increase inflammation
Lead to water and sodium retention
Put added strain on your cardiovascular system
What makes Vivahealthy different from other programs?
We don’t do quick fixes. Vivahealthy helps you create sustainable, long-term habits that support heart health—without restrictive diets or trendy fads. The program is rooted in science, whole foods, and supportive coaching to help you feel empowered, not deprived.
What foods are encouraged in the Vivahealthy program?
We emphasize:
● Leafy greens like arugula and kale
● Lean proteins like chicken and wild salmon
● Blood pressure–friendly fats like avocado and chia seeds
● Herbs and flavor boosters like garlic and ginger
● Low-glycemic, non-starchy vegetables
We avoid added oils, high-sugar fruits, high-oxalate foods (like beetroot), and processed grains to reduce inflammation and support blood pressure balance.
Is this program vegetarian or vegan?
While not exclusively plant-based, Vivahealthy is flexible. We offer adjustments for pescatarian, vegetarian, or animal protein–inclusive preferences. Our main focus is whole, unprocessed food with blood pressure benefits.
How long is the program and what’s included?
The core program runs for 12 weeks and includes:
● Bi-weekly 1:1 coaching sessions
● Weekly check-ins and digital tracking tools
● Meal planning templates
● Live meal prep demo (Session 6)
● Personalized goal setting and progress tracking
● Optional 1-month post-program check-in
Will I need to count calories or macros?
Nope! We focus on food quality, not just numbers. You’ll learn how to build balanced meals that naturally support weight loss, if needed, and lower your blood pressure without the stress of daily tracking.'
Can I do this if I’m on medication?
Yes. Many of our clients are on blood pressure medications. We work alongside your doctor’s guidance to help you safely adjust your lifestyle. In some cases, clients have been able to reduce medications under medical supervision.
What support is offered between sessions?
