    Personalized, prevention-first care for heart, metabolism, and vessels

    Our clinics focus on Cardiometabolic Health and Vascular Aging to help you pursue evidence-based longevity and resilient Healthy Aging. We blend preventive cardiology, metabolic medicine, and lifestyle science to address the drivers of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and accelerated vascular decline. Through an integrated, data-driven approach, we aim to optimize blood pressure, lipids, glucose control, body composition, and inflammation—key determinants of long-term vitality and healthspan.

    Using advanced assessments, we go beyond routine screening to evaluate arterial stiffness, endothelial function, VO₂ fitness, body composition, and biomarkers linked to insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. This granular risk profiling informs individualized care plans that may include nutrition strategy, physical activity prescription, sleep optimization, stress reduction, and—when appropriate—evidence-based pharmacotherapy. Our goal is precise risk reduction, earlier detection of vascular change, and measurable improvements in cardiometabolic resilience.

    Programs are delivered by a multidisciplinary team leveraging lifestyle medicine, preventive cardiology, and digital tools for continuous monitoring and coaching. Whether you are proactively investing in healthy aging or managing elevated risk, our clinics provide a structured pathway to sustain cardiovascular function, preserve vascular flexibility, and enhance day-to-day performance.

    Precision Cardiometabolic Care for Longevity & Healthy Aging

    Advanced diagnostics, personalized interventions, and measurable outcomes

    Building on our prevention-first model, we deploy an integrated diagnostic stack to illuminate your unique cardiometabolic risk profile. Beyond routine labs, assessments may include arterial stiffness metrics (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index), endothelial function testing (e.g., FMD/PAT), cardiorespiratory fitness via CPET for VO₂ and heart-rate recovery, and body composition with DXA to quantify visceral adiposity and lean mass. Targeted biomarkers—ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, fasting insulin, CGM-derived glycemic variability, and liver fat risk indicators—help pinpoint drivers of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and chronic inflammation. When appropriate, imaging such as carotid IMT or coronary calcium scoring can refine risk and guide the intensity of prevention.

    Using this granular map, we co-create a personalized plan that blends nutrition strategy, movement, recovery, and (when clinically indicated) pharmacotherapy. Nutrition emphasizes minimally processed, fiber-rich patterns (e.g., Mediterranean/DASH), smart carbohydrate quality for glucose stability, balanced protein distribution to protect muscle, and cardioprotective fats to optimize lipids and inflammation. Training programs integrate Zone 2 aerobic conditioning for mitochondrial health, progressive resistance training to preserve strength and insulin sensitivity, and time-efficient intervals as tolerated. We pair these with sleep optimization, stress modulation informed by HRV, and support for tobacco cessation and alcohol moderation—core pillars for sustainable Healthy Aging.

    Where evidence supports added benefit, clinicians may layer targeted therapies to accelerate risk reduction—such as statins/ezetimibe/PCSK9 inhibitors for elevated ApoB, antihypertensives to normalize blood pressure load, or agents like SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists for cardio-renal-metabolic protection—always individualized and monitored. Our iterative model tracks meaningful endpoints: time-in-range on CGM, ambulatory blood pressure, ApoB and triglyceride/HDL ratio, VO₂ and strength progression, arterial stiffness and endothelial function trends, and inflammation markers. The goal is clear: slow Vascular Aging, enhance resilience, and extend functional healthspan without over-treatment.

    Programs are tailored to life stage and context—proactive prevention, metabolic syndrome or prediabetes, women’s cardiometabolic health (including perimenopause/menopause), weight management, athletic longevity, and post-event stabilization. Expect a structured pathway: an initial deep-dive assessment, a 90-day implementation sprint with digital coaching and remote monitoring, then quarterly optimization cycles. With transparent metrics and shared decision-making, you’ll see how daily choices shape Cardiometabolic Health over time. Connect with our team to design a personalized roadmap that preserves vascular flexibility, protects the heart and metabolism, and advances your long-term longevity and quality of life.

    The InnerBuddies module "Longevity & Healthy Aging" gives you insight in:

    • Gut Microbiome & Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)

      SCFAs contribute to anti-inflammation, gut health, and metabolic regulation, all linked to longevity. SCFA's functions as the base mechanism for the other categories. Butyrate gets high weight because of its robust evidence base in inflammation control, gut barrier integrity, and mitochondrial health — all critical for longevity. Propionate pathways are also key, especially for metabolic aging. Acetate is more abundant but generally has broader and more moderate effects; still important, especially as a substrate and signaling molecule.

    • Anti-Inflammatory & Immune Modulation

      Chronic inflammation accelerates aging; these pathways reduce inflammatory markers. Bile acids are among the most potent microbial immunomodulators with systemic relevance (gut-liver-brain axis, mucosal immunity). Tryptophan-derived indoles are among the most potent microbial immunomodulators with systemic relevance (gut-liver-brain axis, mucosal immunity). Polyamines offer both immunomodulatory and cell-protective benefits, especially in aging tissue. LPS and ammonia detox are supportive pathways—critical but more indirect in their effects.

    • Energy Metabolism & Mitochondrial Health

      Efficient energy metabolism supports cellular function, reduces oxidative stress, and enhances lifespan. TCA cycle and ETC dominate due to their centrality in mitochondrial health, bioenergetics, and ROS control — all of which are strongly linked to aging processes. Fat oxidation (FAO) supports metabolic flexibility, ketogenesis, and fasting states — overlapping with caloric restriction benefits. BCAA metabolism is double-edged: essential for mitochondrial function but excessive levels may promote mTOR activation and insulin resistance — balance is critical.

    • Cellular Repair, DNA Protection & Autophagy

      These pathways regulate DNA repair, cellular stress resistance, and autophagy, essential for longevity. Methionine / glutathione gets top weight for direct protection against oxidative stress, a primary driver of DNA damage. NAD⁺ biosynthesis is central to sirtuin-driven longevity mechanisms and DNA repair. Folate supports DNA stability but has more indirect or cofactor-like effects compared to the above.

    • Caloric Restriction & Fasting Mimicry

      Certain pathways mimic the benefits of fasting and caloric restriction, which are linked to lifespan extension.
