Heart disease is not a disorder of too much cholesterol in the blood. There are metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal imbalances that also influence the risk of developing diseases of the heart. There are issues relating to toxic burden as well as genetics that we can use as leverage to prevent and treat heart disease. Because every patient is different we take a holistic approach to evaluate YOUR personal risk factors.
We often personalize dietary recommendations. For some patients, we prescribe a vegetarian or vegan approach, for others, a Mediterranean, and for others still, a ketogenic diet, or even a detoxification protocol to reduce cardiovascular disease. We take care to not just order lipid panels but also look at LDL particle number and size. It is important to identify signs of insulin resistance and metabolism problems that are associated with heart conditions and improve these biomarkers through lifestyle changes, supplements and sometimes medications. Inflammatory markers measured in the blood are also important to note. We track improvement over time to put you in control of your heart’s health.
We recognize the influence of spirituality on heart health. Our thoughts, the environment, our community and intention influence our heart’s energy. Our belief is that a true mind, body, spirit approach is required for cardiovascular disease treatment.
