INDIVIDUALIZED INTEGRATED CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR CONCERNS
Your heart is more than just cholesterol and blood pressure- your heart should lead you through your relationships and direct your actions. Keeping our hearts healthy requires attention and self-love. We know more today about how select bio-active foods and specific activity reduces our risk for heart attack and stroke. Recent research shows natural treatments can improve the function of the heart! Yet, interactions can occur between medications and natural treatments that may be harmful. All of these factors demand an individualized approach to assessment and treatment.
