One Nightly Sip Helps Your Heart, Cholesterol And Weight

“Dr Brewer… your cholesterol is dangerously high.”


It was the moment everything changed for Dr Sarah Brewer.


You see, she wasn’t just any patient. She was a Cambridge-trained GP. A bestselling medical author. And a nutritionist with several newspaper columns.


And yet her own health had collapsed.


At 60, she was clinically obese with sky-high blood pressure. And when her cardiologist hinted she might be near a health collapse… It was a wake-up call to say the least.


Now, Dr Brewer had tried all textbook medical advice.


But none of it worked. And she was terrified she’d never find happiness or good health again.


But she firmly believed a good doctor never gives up on a cure.


So she delved deeper into the research – even traveling through the Mediterranean where people enjoy ultra-healthy cholesterol levels – and along the way, she discovered a different kind of healthcare.


It was a simple philosophy: the best medicine doesn’t come in a prescription pill… it’s at the end of your fork.


And the breakthrough she was looking for? 


Olive oil. 


Beautiful, golden, delicious… but this wasn’t the kind of olive oil you find in most supermarkets.


Nor was she using it in typical ways.


Instead, she followed a method she discovered in Tuscany - where people live remarkably long, healthy lives. And within months, the results were dramatic.


In her own words:


"My cholesterol was so low on my last check-up, they re-measured it, as the surgery assumed there was an error!"


But it wasn’t an error.


And it wasn’t only her cholesterol that had dropped. She’d also lost so much weight, the cardiologist barely recognised her from her last visit.


Today, Dr Brewer is sharing the science behind her olive oil method, in a free video that’s already helping thousands of Brits support healthy cholesterol and weight.


If you’ve been told “this is just what happens with age”… Or that medication is your only option…


This video may give you hope.

Dr Sarah is one of the world's most celebrated nutrition experts and author of the best-selling book, "Eat Well, Live Longer".
