Heart Health Month: Boost Your Heart with Our Extensive Wellness & Longevity Services

February marks Heart Health Month, making it the perfect time to focus on supporting cardiovascular health. Heart disease remains a leading cause of illness, but there are many ways to protect your heart and enhance your overall well-being. At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to heart health, including hormone therapy, blood work, genetic testing, and medically assisted weight loss to help you make informed decisions about your health..

The Heart-Health Connection: Weight, Hormones, and Blood Work

Maintaining a healthy heart goes beyond managing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Weight management and hormonal balance are crucial in reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Hormonal imbalances can also make weight loss more challenging, so addressing these factors is key to improving overall heart health. Blood work provides a detailed picture of cholesterol, blood sugar, and inflammation, which helps us design a personalized treatment plan. Genetic testing can also identify inherited conditions that may impact your heart, allowing for a proactive, tailored approach to heart health.

Comprehensive Blood Work and Genetic Testing: A Personalized Approach to Heart Health

Blood work provides essential insights into your cardiovascular health by tracking key indicators like cholesterol, blood sugar, and hormones. 

Genetic testing helps identify any hereditary conditions, such as predispositions to high cholesterol, which could increase heart disease risk. Together, these tests give us the information needed to craft a proactive, personalized health plan.

Hormone Therapy: Vital for Heart Support

As we age, hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on heart health. For women, estrogen decline during menopause can raise cholesterol and blood pressure, while for men, low testosterone can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of heart disease. Hormone therapy can help restore balance, reduce inflammation, support healthy cholesterol and blood pressure, and boost metabolism—helping to maintain better cardiovascular health and overall vitality.

Medically Assisted Weight Loss: A Heart-Healthy Solution

Medically assisted weight loss is an effective, science-backed solution for weight management and heart health. It regulates blood sugar, appetite, and fat storage, and helps reduce fat, especially around the abdominal area—an area known to increase heart disease risk. Beyond weight loss, it can also improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar regulation, providing long-term cardiovascular benefits.

Surprising Cause of Heart Disease: Hypothyroidism

When it comes to preventing heart disease, you know the importance of eating healthy, exercising, taking heart-healthy vitamins, and reducing stress. But there's another risk factor that you don't often hear about in the media—hypothyroidism. This condition, where your thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones, can greatly increase your chances of heart attack. It affects both men and women, but ladies, it’s especially important for you to be aware of the connection between hypothyroidism and heart disease. If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to an increase in cholesterol levels, which can directly impact heart health.

Heart Disease: By the Numbers

Heart disease is a major health concern, but understanding the risks and taking steps to manage them can make a significant difference. Here are a few eye-opening statistics:1 in 4 deaths in the U.S. is caused by heart disease. About 47% of American adults have at least one of three key risk factors: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or smoking.Nearly 70% of people with heart disease also have at least one other chronic condition like diabetes or obesity. Women are more likely than men to experience the silent symptoms of heart disease, often leading to a delayed diagnosis.

Optimal heart health requires addressing multiple factors at once. By combining medically assisted weight loss, hormone therapy, blood work, and genetic testing, we empower you to take control of your health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
