Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death, yet the conventional approach, of lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, only offers small statistical benefits and fails to address the root causes. Half of heart attack patients have normal or low cholesterol, and many with low cholesterol have higher mortality risk. The real driver is chronic nervous system stress, which breaks down the body’s protective linings, especially the endothelial lining of blood vessels. This damage leads to a cascade of problems like atherosclerosis and hypertension, which are not root causes, but effects of deeper dysfunction. Since the body’s linings (gut, lung, brain, skin, and vascular) are all connected, breakdown in one often signals breakdown in others. Instead of focusing on surface-level numbers, we use advanced testing to evaluate vascular and nervous system function, allowing for a root-cause approach to preventing and reversing cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease without overreliance on medications that offer minimal clinical impact.
