"When Filomena Kaguako was told her cholesterol was at 6.0 and that she'd need medication if it didn't come down, she got expert advice and made some changes to her diet and lifestyle"
"I vividly remember sitting in the chair of my GP's office last summer with a lump of dread forming in the back of my throat. I was only in to get an update on my iron levels, but since I was still recovering from a serious blood clot condition, I was quite sensitive about receiving health news - big or small."
