Could standard blood test be missing valuable insights into your heart health, metabolism, and overall wellness?
Which unique genetic factors might be impacting your lipid profile, blood pressure, or weight management efforts?
Why traditional tests miss 70% that are important for heart health like Lipoprotein(a) levels, apoB, and more.
Take this short quiz to find out which key stressors are to blame!
Many people assume that keeping their cholesterol in the "normal" range is enough to protect their heart health.
However, research shows this is often not the case. Studies have found that up to half of patients who suffer a heart attack actually have normal lipid (cholesterol) levels. In fact, assessing your cholesterol levels is just the "tip of the iceberg" when it comes to cardiovascular risk factors.
Additionally, even if cholesterol levels are reduced through medication like statins, this only addresses about 30% of the overall heart attack risk. The remaining 70% of risk often stems from other factors like genetic predispositions, inflammation levels, and hormonal imbalances.
More comprehensive testing needed to uncover the specific biomarkers and risk factors that impact your risk. In addition to examining cholesterol numbers, we take a deeper dive to examine advanced lipid profiles, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and other potential contributors to heart disease risk. This allows us to develop a more tailored approach to supporting cardiovascular wellness.
Finally, let me ask you an important question...
If you've been advised to go on statins and you are not sure if you should or are concerned about the side effects, we can work together to assess your specific case to understand what's right for you.
If you have concerns about your heart health and want to explore a more comprehensive assessment, like understanding your unique risk factors and determine the best next steps, take the quiz!

REVEALING INSIGHTS ABOUT
Standard medical tests often miss crucial cardiovascular markers... leaving you unaware of your true heart health profile because cholesterol is only a small piece of the heart health puzzle.
That's why we go beyond conventional assessments with our comprehensive at-home testing. We use advanced blood and genetic analysis to examine multiple markers, including advanced lipid profiles, metabolic indicators, and genetic predispositions that may be overlooked in routine check-ups. Take the first step towards personalized heart health insights by exploring our Heartwell Toolkits!
Even health-conscious individuals may be unknowingly undermining their cardiovascular health due to their unique genetic makeup and biomarker profile. What's considered a "heart-healthy" diet for one person might not be optimal for another due to genetic variations in nutrient metabolism and lipid processing. Without comprehensive genetic and biomarker testing, you might be consuming foods that don't align with your body's specific needs. We can provide you with a truly personalized roadmap for optimizing your cardiovascular health through tailored nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies.
Your ideal body composition isn't just about weight—it's intricately linked to your unique genetic profile and hormonal balance and ultimately your heart health. Many individuals struggle with stubborn weight issues or suboptimal muscle-to-fat ratios, even when following conventional diet and exercise advice. By uncovering how your body uniquely processes nutrients, stores fat, and builds muscle, we can develop a truly personalized approach to optimize your body composition. Discover the precise nutritional, exercise, and lifestyle interventions that will work best for your unique genetic makeup and metabolic profile.
Helping people live a more balanced & healthier life isn't just our job, it's our passion! We take our commitment to lifelong, optimal health + wellness very seriously... incorporating the latest scientific advances and dedicated to the very best care possible.

"Can’t say enough about Dr. Lastname and his exceptional team. I just completed a year as a practice member and I feel fantastic. I have learned so much about healthy eating and continue to get compliments on how great I look and my positive energy. While the weight loss has been slow, about 30 pounds over the past year, my clothes fit so much better and I love how trim my waist feels!! What’s more is that my energy is finally back and now I can work out on a regular basis without feeling wiped out after".
