WHAT IS HEART-OLOGY?
YOUR NUMBERS…AND WHY THEY’RE IMPORTANT
Do you have a family history of sudden cardiac death, early heart disease, or stroke?
Have you been told by your doctor that your cholesterol or blood pressure is high?
Do you have diabetes?
Are you post-menopausal?
Are you overweight or have excess belly fat?
These are all factors and conditions that put you at an increased risk of heart disease which is the #1 killer of Americans today. Do you know your risk factors? Many of these risks, including those that are genetically-driven can be lowered. Knowing your numbers not only keeps you educated on where you are at with risk, but guides the choices you make to not just survive a cardiac event, but to prevent one.
"NORMAL" IS NOT OPTIMAL
Have you been told multiple times that you are “NORMAL” ?
At Pilgrimage to Healing, we order lab tests that clue us in to signs of dys-function. Many are lab tests you’re used to seeing, and others are less familiar. We don’t just look for what’s out of the lab reference range, but rather what is trending outside of OPTIMAL and focus on what we can do to get you moving in the right direction and lowering your risk. We evaluate how multiple body systems are functioning together to work towards the root cause of dysfunction.
A LIFESTYLE FIRST APPROACH
First, we do an analysis of your lifestyle, looking for areas that need improvement. We don’t just tell you what to do, but we HELP you do it. We provide specific and individualized lifestyle recommendations that have been proven to help lower cardiovascular risk. We truly meet you where you are.
THE FUNCTIONAL HEALTH REPORT
Each of our Heartology clients will receive a binder to keep track of your lab test results and practice recommendations, including your Lifestyle Prescription. In addition to your blood work results from Cleveland Heart Lab, you will also receive a Functional Health Report which gives a more clear picture of your biomarkers from a perspective of true “health” versus being “not sick.” You’ll leave your lab review appointment with a better knowledge and understanding of your risk and what you can do to improve it.
SUMMARY
Knowing your numbers and level of cardiac disease risk is important in these times, when the majority of deaths in America is contributed to heart disease. We would love to TEACH you what your numbers mean, get to the root causes of any dysfunction, work WITH you to make lifestyle change, and lower your overall risk so that you don’t just live longer, but live WELL.
