April is Stress Awareness Month, and it is a good time to take a closer look at how stress may be affecting heart health.

Stress is something most people experience every day, but over time it can contribute to high blood pressure, poor sleep, and increased risk of heart disease. The good news is that small, consistent changes can make a real difference.

Capital Cardiology Associates breaks down how stress impacts the heart and what can be done to manage it.

If something does not feel right, chest discomfort, palpitations, or shortness of breath, do not ignore it. Our Enhanced Cardiac Access (ECA) clinics offer walk-in care for non-life-threatening cardiac symptoms.

You cut carbs, the weight drops fast—and it feels like it’s working.

But what if that early weight loss isn’t actually fat?

Many low-carb diets lead to quick results, but they’re often difficult to sustain—and the weight can come back just as quickly.

New research shows that diet quality matters more than simply cutting carbs or fat when it comes to long-term health and weight management.

Learn what’s really happening in your body—and how to approach carbs the right way.

Skipping meals might seem like a simple way to cut calories, but it can quietly work against your health over time, slowing your metabolism, reducing key nutrients, and driving late-night cravings.

In our newest patient education article, CCA Registered Dietitian Marissa Hull explains what happens when you skip meals, how to think about meal timing, and why consistency beats restriction every time.

This is Part One of our three-part National Nutrition Month series. Link in the comments.

Today is National Registered Dietitian Day! ❤️

At Capital Cardiology Associates, we are proud to recognize the incredible work of our registered dietitians who help patients turn nutrition into a powerful tool for heart health.

Dietitians are highly trained medical professionals who translate complex nutrition science into practical, personalized guidance. They help patients manage cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and weight while building sustainable habits that support long-term cardiovascular health.

From creating heart-healthy meal plans to helping patients understand how food affects their heart and metabolism, dietitians play an essential role in preventive care and recovery.

Their work empowers patients to make informed choices, improve their health, and live fuller lives.

Today we thank our dedicated dietitians for the expertise, compassion, and support they bring to our patients every day.

Happy National Registered Dietitian Day!
