❤️ New 2026 Cholesterol Screening Guidelines

Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death, but new 2026 cardiovascular guidelines are focusing on catching cholesterol problems earlier than ever before.

Here are some key updates you should know:

🩺 Screening is starting earlier.
New guidelines recommend lipid profiling in adults starting at age 19 years. The panel should be repeated at least every 5 years for young adults and more frequently for those with additional ASCVD risk factors. As for lipid-lowering therapy, the guidelines advise starting statins at age 30 for patients with LDL-C levels at or above 160 mg/dL, a strong family history of premature ASCVD, or a high 30-year risk of ASCVD—even if their 10-year risk is low

🧬 Everyone should have Lipoprotein(a) checked at least once.
This genetic cholesterol marker can significantly increase heart disease risk and is not detected on a standard lipid panel.

📊 New risk calculators are being used.
Doctors are now using the PREVENT-ASCVD tool to estimate both 10-year and 30-year heart disease risk to guide treatment decisions.

🎯 Lower LDL (“bad cholesterol”) targets.
The updated guidelines reinforce that lower LDL levels over a longer period of time provide greater protection against heart attack and stroke.

🧪 Additional testing may be recommended.
Tests like ApoB or coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans can help better identify people who may benefit from earlier treatment.

The biggest takeaway?
Preventing heart disease starts years before symptoms appear and a simple cholesterol screening can provide important insight into your long-term health.

If it’s been a while since your last lipid panel, it may be time to check in. Did you know a lipid panel is included in the wellness panel our membership includes? Schedule a free meet and greet today by clicking the link below to learn more about our membership plans and all that they entail!

Life Outside the Clinic...

Being a physician is one of the greatest privileges in my life, but outside the clinic, I’m simply someone who enjoys the little things in life...gardening, hunting, fishing/spearfishing/SCUBA diving, spending time with family, playing with my doggos, riding my horse, crafting, and taking in the quiet beauty of life here in South Georgia.

Those parts of who I am carry over into how I practice medicine. I believe healthcare should feel personal, comfortable, and built on real relationships. I love catching up with patients during the first part of their appointment, hearing about new things that have come up in their lives such as a new grandbaby being born, stories about recent travel, or hobbies they have decided to try out.

The more I get to know each patient and they get to know me, the easier it is to create a care plan that truly fits their life and health goals. For me, the best care starts with truly knowing the person in front of you.

I often get these questions from patients, so I wanted to answer a few here!

Do you accept insurance?
We do not bill insurance. Instead, we offer an affordable monthly membership that gives you direct access to your doctor. That said, if you have insurance, you can use it to cover medications, imaging, specialist visits, ER visits, etc.!

What does the membership include?
Primary care visits, longer appointments, same-day or next-day visits, and direct communication with your doctor. We offer our plan on a month-to-month basis for patients.

Do you treat acute illnesses?
Yes! We see patients for sick visits, chronic disease management, preventative care, and more.

Do you offer weight loss programs?
Yes, we offer medically supervised weight loss options if medically appropriate.

Can I meet you before joining?
Absolutely. I offer free meet & greets so we can talk and see if our practice is a good fit.

If you have more questions, feel free to comment or send us a message!

One of my favorite things about practicing medicine in a small town is getting to truly know my patients. Not only that, but it isn't uncommon to run into them around town, at local events, or at the local Walmart and just stop for a quick chat!
I’m so grateful to serve our community and have loved every minute of this journey!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 🌿
