HEART DISEASE PREVENTION
Heart disease is sadly, still the biggest killer of both men and women. The heart is a hard working organ that does not ‘shout loudly’ when a problem begins. The warning signs can be subtle and are often dismissed as part of a busy life.
There is a lot of confusing information out there around Cholesterol, Statins, and what lifestyle changes need to be made for a healthy heart. It’s so important to know your numbers, blood pressure, triglycerides, homocysteine, and know what they mean for you.

How I Help
Choosing functional medicine is choosing an integrated and comprehensive approach in your path to optimal health. Typically, conventional medicine treats what’s above the surface — symptoms and disease — functional medicine also addresses what’s below the surface, the root cause.

What is a “comprehensive Approach”?
The Institute of Functional Medicine uses a tree analogy to describe functional medicine. Typically, conventional medicine treats what’s above the surface — symptoms and disease — functional medicine also addresses what’s below the surface, the root of the disease.

The Essential Heart
Self-Assessment
Heart disease doesn't always announce itself loudly. Mundane signs and symptoms can be overlooked as the side effect of a busy life.
Take this self assessment to see if your heart is sending you important signals you need to listen to.
What to Expect
5 Step Process
As you prepare to take the next step, it’s helpful to know what to expect.
Step 1
30-Min DISCOVERY CALL
Before we decide to work together, it’s important that we talk. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any leftover questions you may have and I will get a clear idea of your readiness and whether I would be the best fit for you.
Step 2
CONSULTATION + DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Our first few appointments will be heavy on the research, the testing, and the discovery. We will take an extensive look into all of the areas and pieces that could be
contributing to your pain or illness.
Step 3
PERSONALIZED PLAN
After turning over every rock, we will create a personalized plan that will address your
body’s needs from a holistic perspective. It will be a targeted approach based on the findings of the history intake and testing.
Step 4
BEGIN THE WORK
This is the part when you’ll put the plan into action. The beginning stages of implementation can be the most challenging so it’s important we meet frequently for accountability, support
and help adjusting the plan to suit your needs.
Step 5
FOLLOW UP
It doesn’t end when the plan is given. That’s where is really begins. From there, we’ll need follow up sessions to adjust the plan and review the results as you progress.
