Heal the heart and optimize your metabolic health.
A healthy heart and metabolism are critical to your well-being.
The heart pumps oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and our metabolic function determines how well we can process energy. A dysfunction in either system can lead to serious issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
Because of this, we take a very proactive approach to heart health and metabolism. We don’t wait until there’s a diagnosable problem before suggesting targeted lifestyle changes to drastically reduce your risk of a future cardiac event or metabolic condition. We also have specialized protocols to help treat and reverse existing conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.
Common metabolic symptoms
Cardiometabolic symptoms can show up in many different ways:
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of symptoms including: elevated fasting blood glucose levels, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol, excess visceral fat around the abdomen.
High blood pressure might cause headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Diabetes may lead to frequent urination, increased thirst, and blurred vision.
High cholesterol, which increases risk of heart disease, can develop without any noticeable symptoms.
Note: Any of the above can develop without any noticeable symptoms.
