Reduce Salt Gradually

Adjust taste thresholds over time by gradually lowering salt exposure; adaptation was described as taking time, on the order of a couple of months in cited studies.

what they found was that you can, over time, adjust thresholds and preferences for the basic tastes... It does take time. So the Monell study, I think, lasted maybe a couple of months. It takes time, but it's certainly doable.
