In this pilot study, the investigators will assess the clinical utility and feasibility of the Healthy Heart Score in the primary clinical care setting for the primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease. The investigators will conduct a clinical trial to test our intervention compared to usual care. The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to test the lifestyle intervention based on the Healthy Heart Score compared to usual care. The aim is to include 100 participants (50 in each group). Each participant will complete 2 visits (initial and a follow up visit after 12 weeks).
