Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease is the leading cause of preventable illness — but your heart health is in your hands. High blood pressure, inflammation, and poor circulation don’t happen overnight — they are signals from your body that need attention.

Comprehensive, Personalized Care for a Stronger Heart
At hol+, we take a root-cause approach to cardiovascular health, identifying hidden risks, metabolic imbalances, and lifestyle factors that contribute to heart disease. With advanced diagnostics, functional medicine, and personalized treatment plans, we help you regain control, improve circulation, balance cholesterol, and strengthen your heart for the long term.
Your heart does so much for you—now it’s time to give it the care it deserves.
What’s Really Driving Heart Disease?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet so many of its risk factors develop silently over time. Instead of waiting for symptoms to appear, functional medicine takes a proactive, whole-body approach by identifying and addressing:
- Chronic Inflammation – A major contributor to arterial damage and plaque buildup.
- Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar Imbalances – Even without diabetes, metabolic dysfunction can increase heart disease risk.
- Nutrient Deficiencies – Key vitamins and minerals like magnesium, CoQ10, and omega-3s play a vital role in heart function.
- Gut-Heart Connection – Poor gut health can trigger inflammation, impact cholesterol levels, and contribute to cardiovascular disease.
- Hormone Imbalances – Thyroid dysfunction, estrogen levels, and cortisol spikes can all affect heart function.
- Toxin Exposure & Heavy Metals – Environmental toxins can increase oxidative stress and weaken blood vessels.
By looking at these factors, we can pinpoint early warning signs of heart disease and take steps to prevent long-term complications.
A Personalized, Preventative Approach to Heart Health
Every heart is different, and so is the path to optimal cardiovascular health. Functional medicine allows your health practitioners to create individualized treatment plans using:
- Advanced Cardiovascular Testing – Going beyond standard lipid panels to assess inflammatory markers, metabolic function, and arterial health.
- Lifestyle & Nutrition Plans – A tailored approach to diet, movement, and stress management to support long-term heart health.
- Natural Therapies & Supplements – Using targeted nutraceuticals, peptides, and IV therapy to address deficiencies and optimize function.
- Holistic Support for Stress & Sleep – Managing cortisol levels and sleep quality to improve heart rate variability and overall wellness.
Heart disease doesn’t develop overnight, and true prevention means addressing every factor that contributes to cardiovascular function.

Cardiovascular conditions are (still) the highest cause of death
In the developed world, cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and heart attack remain the leading cause of death for both men and women (1).
Since 2000, the mortality rate of heart disease has more than tripled, suggesting we still don’t have a one-size-fits-all, comprehensive treatment to really treat this problem. We do, however, have concrete knowledge about risk factors for cardiovascular diseases—most of which are highly modifiable with early screening, integrative diagnostics, and lifestyle changes. These risk factors include, but aren’t limited to:
- Stress
- A poor diet
- Iron overload
- Chronic, low-grade Inflammation
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Metabolic syndrome
- High blood viscosity
Integrative testing and early screening measures are key to identify and reduce your individual risk factors for heart disease. It’s never too late to start prevention.
Why Standard Testing Isn’t Enough
Blood pressure checks, cholesterol panels, and ECGs are staples in heart health monitoring. But while these tests are valuable, they only scratch the surface. Standard testing may miss factors like arterial stiffness, cardiovascular efficiency under stress, and inflammation markers, all of which are critical in understanding heart health.
Functional tests, on the other hand, take a more holistic approach. These tests measure how your heart and blood vessels work in real-world conditions, helping to identify hidden issues and provide a more accurate picture of your cardiovascular health.

A Heart-First Approach: hol+’s Comprehensive Cardiovascular Health Services
Your heart works tirelessly every second of every day—powering your body, fueling your brain, and keeping you moving. But stress, inflammation, metabolic imbalances, and even environmental toxins can put unnecessary strain on your cardiovascular system long before symptoms appear. The key to lasting heart health is understanding the deeper factors that impact circulation, arterial function, and long-term resilience. At hol+, we take a functional, root-cause approach to heart health, using advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and holistic therapies to optimize heart function and reduce long-term risks.
1. Advanced Cardiovascular Testing & Risk Assessment
Traditional heart screenings focus on cholesterol and blood pressure but may miss key markers of inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and genetic risk factors. Identifying these early helps us create a targeted prevention plan to keep your heart healthy.
- Inflammation & Vascular Health Testing – We assess hs-CRP, homocysteine, and fibrinogen levels to detect hidden inflammation in the arteries.
- Metabolic & Insulin Resistance Testing – Early detection of diabetes and metabolic syndrome can prevent long-term damage.
- Genetic & Epigenetic Testing – Understanding your hereditary risks for heart disease and stroke allows for proactive care.
- Nutrient & Mineral Deficiency Testing – We evaluate magnesium, CoQ10, omega-3s, and B vitamins that are essential for heart function.
This deeper level of testing provides a clearer picture of cardiovascular health and helps guide personalized strategies for long-term prevention.
2. Hormone Balance & Cardiovascular Health
Hormones play a crucial role in blood pressure, cholesterol balance, arterial health, and metabolism. Imbalances in cortisol, insulin, thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone can increase the risk of heart disease. Supporting hormonal balance improves circulation, metabolism, and vascular function.
- Thyroid Optimization – Proper thyroid function supports metabolism, weight management, and vascular health.
- Adrenal & Stress Hormone Testing – Chronic stress increases cortisol, which contributes to high blood pressure and inflammation.
- Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) for Cardiovascular Support – Restoring balance in estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone promotes arterial elasticity, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic efficiency.
When hormones are balanced, the heart functions more efficiently, inflammation is reduced, and long-term cardiovascular risk decreases.
3. Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching for Heart Health
The food we eat, the way we move, and how we manage stress have a direct impact on heart health. Small lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure, plaque buildup, and poor circulation.
- Personalized Nutrition Plans – Our registered dieticians create an anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy meal plan tailored to your metabolic needs, gut health, and cholesterol levels.
- Weight Loss & Metabolic Health Support – Improving cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin sensitivity helps reduce arterial plaque and cardiovascular stress.
- Stress Reduction & Sleep Optimization – Chronic stress raises cortisol and blood pressure. We incorporate mind-body techniques, breathwork, and sleep optimization strategies to support heart health.
4. Detoxification & Heavy Metal Testing
Heavy metals and environmental toxins can contribute to oxidative stress, arterial damage, and high blood pressure. Long-term exposure to mercury, lead, and other toxins increases inflammation and disrupts metabolic processes that support cardiovascular health.
- Heavy Metal Testing – We assess mercury, lead, and other environmental toxins that may be affecting cardiovascular function.
- Natural Detox Strategies – We use IV chelation therapy, infrared sauna, and nutritional detox plans to safely remove toxins from the body.
By reducing toxic burden and oxidative stress, we support better circulation, healthier arteries, and improved cardiovascular resilience.
