Almost 700,00 people die from heart disease in the US every year. Statins and other medications are not working. Everything we learned about what causes heart disease from conventional medicine is wrong. It has actually created more confusion among researchers as evidenced in numerous studies from around the world.

1. What kinds of tests will you be recommending in order to get a clear assessment of my current cardiovascular health?

2. How do you plan to prevent further narrowing of my arteries?

3. Do you have protocols to reduce calcium scores? Do you look at hard and soft plaque?

4. How much do you believe nutrition and hormonal levels play a role together in heart health?

5. What are the possible risks in invasive testing and how will the medical team address possible adverse consequences?

6. Are there treatments you cannot provide? What would you consider doing if you had my disease?

7. What would my course of disease progression be if I choose to do nothing you recommend?

8. Are you open to integrative therapies and willing to work with my integrative medical experts?

9. What experience and training do you have with integrative cardiology, nutrition, or integrative medicine in general?

10. Are you available and willing to communicate with my entire team and be supportive of my personal choices?

Basic lab work tells us very little about metabolism. Endurance athletes often have a history of thyroid, adrenal and testosterone levels that may have been suppressed for years. The heart protects itself by laying down calcium.
