Wellness 101

We discuss cardiovascular health from a functional medicine perspective.  Conventional medicine looks at heart disease typically as high cholesterol or hypertension (with a few exceptions) and the answer seems to typically be cholesterol lowering  or antihypertensive medications.  We dive into other root causes of heart disease such as Lifestyle, Obesity, Environmental factors, Chronic Infections, Nutritional deficiencies, psychological issues and even sleep.  Identifying and addressing root causes of heart disease, rather than taking a pill to suppress a symptom, is important for long term cardiovascular health.
