High Cholesterol

Many people are increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease without even knowing it.  Since 50% of heart attack victims have normal cholesterol levels, even though you may have normal cholesterol, you may still be at risk of a heart attack.

At Baxter Health Center we help patients lower bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol and lower triglycerides and blood pressure utilizing nutrients coupled with diet and lifestyle changes instead of drugs.  In addition, we use advanced laboratory testing to measure several different independent cardiovascular risk markers instead of just one or two.  We also utilize more thorough blood lipid testing which helps us to more specifically target those particular risk factors that YOU have.

What this means is that we can find the other 50% of potential heart attack victims that standard blood lipid testing misses.  And we prescribe safe, effective nutrients, diet and lifestyle changes to dramatically decrease not only cholesterol and triglycerides, but also the other risk factors that are often overlooked.

Just because your mom, dad, brothers or sisters had or have cardiovascular disease does not necessarily mean you are destined for that same fate.  It’s all a matter of what choices you make.  Food Matters  Your first choice should be to call our office today, so we can help you decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease.
