HOW IT WORKS

Understanding Cardiometabolic Testing

What is Cardiometabolic Testing?

Advanced Cardiovascular and metabolic testing allows us to better approach cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunctions through its comprehensive assessment.

By testing beyond routine cholesterol and blood sugar levels, we can develop a more targeted treatment plan and better understand your risk of cardiovascular disease.

What It Tests For

The Cardiometabolic profile is a simple blood draw that is assessed for many markers, including but not limited to fasting blood glucose and insulin, oxidized LDL cholesterol, and Homocysteine, sulphur-containing amino acid that assesses methylation, endolium damage, clot risk, and promotion of oxidative stress.

Anyone with a personal or family history of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, chronic inflammation, or unexplained fatigue is a strong candidate
