On a Keto Diet, My Heart Disease Got Worse. Going Plant-Based Helped Me Heal

"I read Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., M.D., which recommended a whole-food, plant-based diet. But I was more persuaded by ketogenic-diet advocates on YouTube and a chiropractic doctor who promoted supplements meant to reduce calcification.
