Cardiovascular
Body Composition Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
Understanding your body composition is a critical part of assessing cardiovascular risk. This advanced assessment goes beyond simple body weight and BMI to analyze the ratio of fat to muscle, visceral fat (fat around the organs), and metabolic health markers. By using state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Martinez can pinpoint areas of concern that traditional methods might miss. This comprehensive evaluation helps identify risks like high blood pressure, cholesterol, and other factors that contribute to heart disease. By combining this assessment with personalized recommendations, Dr. Martinez can help you make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve heart health and reduce the risk of future cardiovascular issues.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a treatment designed to remove heavy metals and toxins from the bloodstream, which can build up over time and contribute to cardiovascular problems. This therapy involves administering a chelating agent, which binds to harmful substances like lead or mercury, allowing your body to safely excrete them. Chelation therapy has been shown to reduce plaque buildup in the arteries, improve blood flow, and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is especially beneficial for individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease or those looking for preventive measures to maintain optimal heart health.
Weight Loss
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most important factors in reducing cardiovascular risk. Dr. Martinez offers personalized weight loss programs that are tailored to your body type, metabolism, and goals. By incorporating a combination of advanced fat-burning techniques, dietary guidance, and fitness recommendations, these programs are designed to help you lose weight safely and sustainably. Reducing excess weight not only lowers blood pressure and cholesterol but also improves overall heart function, reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
Advanced Lipid Testing and Management
Standard cholesterol tests often don’t provide a complete picture of your cardiovascular risk. Dr. Martinez offers advanced lipid testing, which provides a deeper understanding of your cholesterol levels, including the size and type of LDL (bad) cholesterol particles, triglycerides, and other lipid-related risk factors. This allows for more precise management of your lipid profile, ensuring that your cholesterol levels are not only in the healthy range but also that your heart is fully protected. Based on the results, Dr. Martinez creates a personalized plan that may include dietary changes, supplements, or medications to optimize lipid levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
