What is Cardiovascular Disease?
The two most common cardiovascular diseases are hypertension (high blood pressure) and high cholesterol. Both are typically treated with prescription medications to reduce symptoms, but this does not address the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease. Also, symptomatic relief often comes with significant side effects from these medications. For example, prolonged statin use (medicines used to treat high cholesterol levels) significantly increases the chances of developing diabetes.
How Does Doctor EmiSM Approach Cardiovascular Care?
Conventional medicine treats cardiovascular disease by focusing on its associated risk factors and not the root causes. Without treating the root cause, medication only serves as a bandaid instead of a solution. Lifestyle choices such as eating habits, exercise, stress management, and exposure to environmental toxins all contribute to these factors and must be addressed directly to ensure overall health and wellness.
Doctor EmiSM uses a functional approach to look for the root cause of your cardiovascular disease and creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. She combines diet, exercise, and other powerful interventions to treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases without the added side effects of conventional treatment.
