Combining the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based alternative and complementary medicine, the Integrative Health and Preventive Cardoliogy Program can help to uncover and treat the root cause of your health issues.
Stress, poor nutrition, weight gain, lack of exercise, smoking, drug and alcohol use, work, outlook on life, relationships, family history—they all impact your health and your heart. Integrative health/preventive cardiology involve looking at all of these factors (not just disease risk and clinical diagnosis) to determine your unique health profile. After an integrative cardiology consult, you will receive a customized plan that empowers you to take control of your health and well-being through lifestyle changes; more natural, less toxic treatments; and, when necessary, the appropriate medical interventions.

What is an integrative cardiology consult?
|
|
|
An integrative cardiology consult does not replace the care you receive from your primary physician or cardiologist; it simply rounds it out.
You will be asked to complete a detailed history form before your visit that includes your medical history as well as information about your diet, vitamins and herbal supplements, exercise, work, and family and community relationships.
Next, during a 50-minute, fact-to-face consultation with an integrative health/preventive cardiology physician, you'll address your concerns, determine your health risk factors, and devise a plan to help you achieve better health. The integrative cardiologist will work closely with you and your regular physician(s) to help you attain your goals. Your active participation is a critical part of the process. Detailed reports of your consult will be forwarded to you and the doctor(s) of your choice.
