Cardiometabolic Health

Conditions We Treat

Our comprehensive cardiometabolic health program addresses:

• Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
• Insulin Resistance: A condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
• Hyperlipidemia: Elevated levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, which can contribute to cardiovascular disease.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

Comprehensive Testing for Cardiometabolic Health

To accurately assess your cardiometabolic health, we may recommend various advanced tests, including:

• Advanced Lipid Testing: Provides detailed information about cholesterol levels, including particle size and density, to better understand cardiovascular risk.
• Blood Sugar and Insulin Testing: Evaluates glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, essential for managing diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
• Genetic Testing: Assesses genetic factors related to methylation, detoxification, and lipid metabolism, offering insights into personalized care.

Our Holistic Approach to Optimization

At My Pure MD®, we employ a holistic approach to optimize cardiometabolic health, which includes:

• Nutrition Optimization: We provide personalized dietary recommendations aimed at reducing inflammation, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting heart health. This may include whole foods, healthy fats, and fiber-rich options tailored to your individual needs.
• Hormonal Balance: Hormones play a vital role in metabolic processes. We assess and optimize key hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones to support overall metabolic health.
• Genetic Optimization: Understanding your genetic profile allows us to tailor interventions to address specific metabolic needs and challenges, including methylation pathways that impact health.
• Digestive Health: We evaluate and optimize gut health, recognizing its crucial role in nutrient absorption, inflammation reduction, and overall metabolic function. A healthy gut microbiome supports better metabolic outcomes.
• Oral Microbiome: We assess and address the health of the oral microbiome, as it can influence systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health.
• Environmental Toxins: Identifying and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins, such as heavy metals and endocrine disruptors, can significantly impact cardiometabolic health. We assess these factors and create strategies to reduce their effects.
• Herbal Therapies: We may incorporate herbal remedies that support metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and enhance cardiovascular function.
