Can a 6-Week online program improve your heart health?
NCT ID NCT07670910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed pilot study tested a 6-week web-based program called Mind Your Heart in 37 adults who were university employees. The program combined DASH diet education with mindful eating training to improve eating habits and health measures like blood pressure and cholesterol. Participants completed online modules, tracked their diet, and attended in-person visits for blood draws, blood pressure checks, and eye exams. The study aimed to see if the program could lead to healthier eating and better heart health markers.
