Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart

Getting the Plant Sterols You Need with Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart

Did you know that over 100 million Americans have high cholesterol and many don’t know it?

Cholesterol problems can affect anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, and family history, but because high cholesterol typically can’t be felt, many people don’t even realize their levels are high. Fortunately, there is now an effective tool to help you get even better results on top of choosing healthier foods and exercise.

Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart is a unique and natural solution for cholesterol management unlike anything else on the market. A simple combination of North American pine tree sterols and water, Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart delivers 2000 mg of plant sterols per serving in a vegan solution for heart health.

*Plant sterols are compounds that exist naturally in plants like nuts and seeds, and they promote healthy cholesterol levels and heart health. By replacing the cholesterol from food in our intestines, plant sterols help to effectively lower cholesterol by making sure we absorb less of it. The National Institutes of Health recommend a daily intake of 2000 mg of plant sterols per day for natural cholesterol management. The problem is most people are only getting 200-400 mg of plant sterols per day in their regular diet because keeping a diet with enough plant sterols per day is hard.

Now you can help fill the gap in your daily plant sterol needs with Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart. Delivering a highly concentrated 2000 mg of plant sterols in a convenient, single-serving stick pack, Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart ensures you’re getting the beneficial amount of plant sterols you need every day for natural, effective cholesterol management.

Clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol in as little as four weeks, Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart can be easily mixed with food and liquids, both hot and cold. The formula is made with NSF certified Non-GMO North American pine tree plant sterols and validated as Vegan by the Vegetarian Society.

Already taking medication to manage your cholesterol? Plant sterols can still help. Studies have shown adding 2000 mg of plant sterols to a healthy diet, exercise, and cholesterol-lowering medication has additional benefits for your cholesterol and heart health.

Wiley’s Finest® Bold Heart is available in an unflavored, one-month supply of 30 stick packs.

 

Disclaimer: This information is provided for educational purposes only.  It is not intended as medical advice.  Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice.

Note: If you take Zetia®, also known as Ezetimibe, taking plant sterols are not recommended.

Heart disease is the number one cause of deaths for most groups, affecting all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Luckily, there are some simple behavior changes that may prevent heart disease, including not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, managing high blood pressure, increasing physical activity and getting regular checkups.

  • Serves 8
  • 2 Hrs

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (1 pound) sprouted bread*
  • 6 tablespoons Dr. Bronner’s Regenerative Organic Coconut Oil
  • 2 large sweet yellow onions, minced
  • 4 celery stalks, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (packed) minced fresh thyme
  • 2 1/3 cups of vegetable stock
  • 1/3 cup dried goji berries
  • 2/3 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Substitutions
*Gluten-free bread may be substituted if desired.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Tear bread into 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces, and spread onto a baking sheet. Bake 1 hour, tossing once or twice midway through, until bread is golden and toasted. Remove bread from the oven to cool. Turn heat to 425°F.
  2. Warm coconut oil over a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and celery. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in thyme and cook 1 minute longer.
  3. Transfer contents of the pan to a large mixing bowl. Pour in vegetable broth. Add salt and pepper. Combine.
  4. Add toasted bread, goji berries, and hemp seeds, and toss well. Transfer mixture to a 12″ by 9″ baking dish. Press down lightly, creating an even layer. If any goji berries are exposed, press down to submerge into stuffing to avoid burning.
