Want to lower your cardiovascular risk?
Start by tackling inflammation.
Because even though we all hear a lot about managing blood pressure and cholesterol, in functional medicine we dig deeper for the root cause.
One of those potential causes is often a low-grade and chronic inflammation—also known as “inflamm-aging.”
🩺 Research shows that this type of inflammation can trigger the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which are responsible for heart attacks and strokes.
Aside from increased blood pressure, some other signs of chronic inflammation can be:
💥 Joint stiffness
💥 Muscle aches
💥 Skin rashes
💥 Autoimmunity
💥 Brain fog
💥 Anxiety or depression
I don’t recommend self-diagnosis (what you actually have is probably a lot less scary than what you think!).
The best way to address your health and root-causes that might put you at risk for a heart attack, stroke, or other chronic disease is to work with a qualified practitioner.
When we work with our clients, we create individualized protocols to:
✔️ Optimize your diet with anti-inflammatory foods like colorful fruits, veggies, and healthy fats
✔️ Find enjoyable daily movement
✔️ Customize supplements to save money and maximize impact
✔️ Relieve stress in ways that work best for you
✔️ Address specific risks based on your history, conditions, and labs
If any of this is resonating with you, comment “next steps!” and we’ll send you info on getting started with our practice.
❤️ You’ve got this—and we’re here to support you in optimizing your health every step of the way.
