High Cholesterol

Heart Health Risk

High cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. While conventional medicine often relies on medication to lower cholesterol levels, at the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, we take a more holistic approach. We work with you to identify the underlying causes of your high cholesterol and develop a personalized treatment plan to optimize your lipid profile and improve your overall health.

Symptoms

High cholesterol itself usually does not cause any symptoms. However, over time, high cholesterol levels can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to a range of cardiovascular conditions, such as heart attack and stroke.

Treatment

Dr. Mark Stengler offers a range of natural and holistic treatments to lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease, including:

• Nutritional counseling: We will evaluate your diet and recommend changes to optimize your nutrient intake and improve your lipid profile. This may include reducing your intake of saturated and trans fats, increasing your intake of soluble fiber, and incorporating heart-healthy foods like nuts and fatty fish into your diet.
• Supplements: We may recommend supplements that have been shown to lower cholesterol levels, such as plant sterols, omega-3 fatty acids, and niacin.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity can help lower your cholesterol levels and improve your overall cardiovascular health.
• Stress reduction: Chronic stress  can contribute to high cholesterol levels. We may recommend stress reduction techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
• IV therapy: We offer IV nutrient therapy that can help optimize your nutrient levels and support your  cardiovascular health.
