Preventive Cardiology

The use of advanced testing for personalized medicine is more than just a tool; it's a gateway to empowerment. We pinpoint your unique health risks by examining advanced lipids such as apoB, Lp(a), LDL particle size, and inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP, F2-Isoprostane, Lp-PLA2, and MPO. The latest research confirms that this testing is a potent method to assess your risk, surpassing the standard lipid panel.

Our approach is unique and time-tested. We employ the most recent imaging technology to precisely evaluate the presence and extent of plaque in your body. This accuracy enables us to tailor recommendations to your distinct health findings. There is no more ambiguity about your risk status, just personalized care that acknowledges and tackles your individual needs, making you feel acknowledged and cared for. 

We utilize the latest wearables to actively monitor your sleep. These devices detect sleep apnea, low oxygen levels during sleep, heart rate variability, and sleep quality. We know that sleep disorders can negatively impact heart health and increase inflammation in the body, a precursor to atherosclerosis. By diagnosing and addressing sleep issues before they become problematic, we strive to keep you one step ahead in your health journey, instilling the confidence that your health is in capable hands.

Using a "food journal," we review what you're eating and drinking. Your nutritional assessment involves a detailed analysis of your dietary habits, including the types of foods and beverages you consume, portion sizes, and meal timings. We can identify foods that might be causing inflammation in the body, which we know is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. By identifying and eliminating these foods from your diet, we can help reduce your risk of developing atherosclerosis and its associated health complications. We use continuous glucose monitoring to see how different foods affect your blood sugar, helping you make better choices based on your personalized data. 

We use health coaching as a supportive tool to help you feel more empowered about your health. What are your health goals? What do you want your life to look like when you're 80, 90, or 100? Once we identify what's important to you, we help you develop strategies to meet your goals. Our health coaching provides guidance, support, and accountability, ensuring you stay on track toward your health goals. 

Exercise has many health benefits, but it doesn't mean you must spend hours at the gym. Some of the longest-lived people in the world get plenty of exercise through daily movement. We help you look for new ways to move--going for walks, gardening, yoga, and housework are all great examples. The best exercise is the one you will do. We help you explore some different options. 

Stress can wreak havoc on the body, and, unfortunately, our modern lifestyle is full of stress for many of us. Acute stress can save our lives, helping us swerve out of the way of the oncoming car. However, chronic stress, which is prolonged and ongoing, has serious effects on the body. Chronic stress increases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, elevating heart rate and blood pressure. Chronic stress also increases inflammation, which is linked to atherosclerosis. We help you identify your stressors and work to lessen them, promoting better stress management and overall well-being.

The goal is to increase your healthspan, not just your lifespan, to help you live a long life in good health. We use the latest technology to assess your biological age by measuring DNA methylation or epigenetic age determination. We also offer cancer screening through cell-free DNA tests. We utilize all the latest state-of-the-art testing available. The earlier we identify abnormalities, the sooner we can work on treating or reversing them.
