HeartLean is a 90-day, cardiologist-supervised lifestyle management program in Mumbai. We help people with incidentally detected dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), prediabetes / elevated HbA1c and excess weight to improve metabolic health through personalized diet plans, safe TMT-guided exercise and regular medical monitoring. Led by Dr. C.B. Munjewar (Consultant Cardiologist) and Gargi Shah (Cardiac Nutritionist), HeartLean focuses on measurable outcomes with the goal of delaying or avoiding medication when safely possible.

Why Choose HeartLean for Lifestyle management?
Many people are incidentally diagnosed with high cholesterol or borderline blood sugar during routine tests. HeartLean offers a structured 90-day lifestyle plan for these patients — one that is medically supervised and outcome-focused rather than ad-hoc advice.
Unlike generic weight-loss programs, HeartLean targets metabolic markers (HbA1c, LDL, triglycerides) in addition to safe weight reduction. Our approach combines cardiology oversight, cardiac-specific nutrition and TMT-based exercise planning so changes are both effective and safe.
Why HeartLean is Different:
​
-
Tailored for metabolic and cardiac risk: Plans are designed for people with dyslipidemia, prediabetes and/or heart disease.
​
-
Continuous medical supervision: Regular cardiology review ensures safety and appropriate treatment decisions.
​
-
Nutrition focused on lipids & glucose: Diets are designed to improve cholesterol and blood sugar, not only to reduce calories.
​
-
Outcome-based plan: Clear lab targets and re-testing at 90 days to guide next steps (continue lifestyle vs consider medicines).
