1️⃣A “normal” stress test isn’t a free pass.🙅🏽‍♂️
It only shows that, at that moment, there wasn’t a major blockage limiting blood flow. Many people who later suffer heart attacks had normal stress tests beforehand. That’s why proactive prevention matters more than a single test result.
-
2️⃣Calcium scores are often misunderstood.🤷🏽‍♂️
A score of zero doesn’t make you immune, and a high number isn’t a prediction of an inevitable heart attack. It’s a tool to estimate risk—not a crystal ball for your future.
-
3️⃣The idea that statins cause dementia is simply wrong❌
Strong data shows the opposite: by protecting blood vessels, statins help protect the brain. Elevated LDL cholesterol poses far more danger to memory and cognition than the medication ever has.
-
4️⃣Not every patient needs a cardiac MRI.❎
Despite its high-tech appeal, it’s used to answer very specific questions—such as assessing heart muscle damage after a heart attack, identifying scar tissue, inflammation, or unexplained heart failure. Even though high-profile figures have had one, it’s not a routine test for most people.
-
5️⃣NO, online supplements aren’t the answer.🚫
There’s no pill shipped to your door that can undo heart disease. The most effective prevention strategies are simple but proven: proper nutrition, regular movement, quality sleep, and consistent habits.❤️

A few lifestyle changes can change everything!❤️🙌🏽
-
1️⃣Walk more than you think you need to
Daily movement lowers heart disease risk, improves insulin sensitivity, and keeps arteries flexible. It doesn’t have to be very intense at all… Consistency beats intensity.
-
2️⃣Protect your sleep like it’s a prescription
Chronic sleep deprivation raises blood pressure, inflammation, and heart attack risk. 7–8 hours isn’t lazy. It’s preventative
-
3️⃣Eat to control blood sugar, not just calories
Ultra-processed foods spike insulin and accelerate vascular damage. Focus on protein, fiber, healthy fats. Your arteries notice even if the scale doesn’t.
-
4️⃣Strength train 2–3x per week
Muscle mass is directly linked to longevity. Stronger muscles mean better glucose control, lower fall risk, and a heart that doesn’t have to work overtime.
-
5️⃣Manage stress before it manages your arteries
Chronic stress keeps cortisol and blood pressure elevated. Breath work, time outside, boundaries. Stress isn’t just mental. It affects everything.

If I had 90 days here’s what I’d do…
-
✅I’d add potassium-rich foods within an anti inflammatory diet (most people are 1,000mg + short daily) to naturally lower blood pressure.
✅I’d get 30 minutes of movement everyday-yoga, walking or a form of strength training.
✅I’d get 6-8 hours of sleep a night.
✅I’d Manage Stress. Chronic stress affects blood pressure and heart rhythm. Avoid unhealthy stress coping mechanisms like overeating or alcohol.
✅I’d Monitor Key Health Numbers.
-Blood pressure: Ideal is around 120/80 mmHg.
- Cholesterol: Keep LDL (bad cholesterol) low, HDL (good cholesterol) high.
-Blood sugar: Especially if you have diabetes or are at risk.
✅I’d follow my Cardiologist’s advice!!

Often times, patients deal with chronic conditions that stem from everyday habits they never realized were harmful. Here are 4 common behaviors that may be silently undermining your health:
-
1. Inadequate Sleep: Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a biological necessity. Chronic sleep deprivation disrupts hormone regulation, raises blood pressure, and significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental burnout. You can’t “catch up” on sleep in the long run.
-
2. Prolonged Sitting: Extended periods of sitting—whether at a desk or in front of a screen—can reduce circulation, slow metabolism, and contribute to weight gain, insulin resistance, and even higher blood pressure. Regular movement throughout the day is crucial for heart health.
-
3. Unmanaged Stress: Persistent stress is more than just an emotional strain—it has measurable physical consequences. It elevates cortisol levels, contributes to inflammation, and increases the risk of hypertension, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular issues. Stress management should be seen as preventive care.
-
4. Poor Eating Habits on the Go: Skipping meals or relying on fast, processed foods can destabilize blood sugar, reduce energy, and impair digestion. Over time, these patterns contribute to weight gain, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome—key drivers of heart disease.
-
Perhaps most dangerous is not recognizing these patterns as harmful. Many of these behaviors feel routine, but over time they compound and lead to serious health outcomes. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.

We picture heart problems as dramatic moments — clutching the chest, gasping for air, rushing to the ER.
But for many people, the first warning doesn’t show up in the chest at all.
It starts lower… in the legs!!🦵🏽
-
That ache that shows up every time you walk a few blocks.
The nighttime cramp that snaps you awake.
The heaviness that fades the minute you stop moving.
Easy to blame on getting older, not drinking enough water, or needing more electrolytes — right?
But often, the real issue goes deeper.
-
When the arteries in your legs begin to narrow — a condition known as peripheral artery disease (PAD) — your muscles aren’t getting the oxygen they need.
So every walk, every errand, every flight of stairs becomes a quiet stress test on your cardiovascular system.
-
And here’s the part most people never hear:
The same plaque that restricts blood flow to your legs is often forming in the arteries that feed your heart and brain as well.
-
PAD can double to quadruple your risk of heart attack and stroke — long before you ever feel symptoms above the waist.
So if you’re noticing leg pain, cramping, or fatigue that appears with activity and eases with rest, don’t brush it off.
This isn’t just a muscle issue. It’s a circulation issue!!
Your body rarely sends an alarm first. It sends a whisper.
Recognize it early — so you can change it!

What Is Your Heart Trying to Tell You?
4 Essential Tests We Use to Understand It (And Why They Matter)
-
1. EKG (Electrocardiogram):
This is one of the most common heart tests — quick, painless, and full of information.
It records the electrical signals in your heart and can show us:
Abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias)
Signs of a past or current heart attack
Electrical disturbances
But remember: it’s just a snapshot in time. If we see something concerning, we follow up with more detailed testing.
-
2. Echocardiogram (Echo):
Think of this as an ultrasound for your heart. It lets us watch your heart beating in real-time.
We use it to evaluate:
How well your heart is pumping
Heart valve function
Fluid around the heart
Wall thickening or structural issues
It’s especially valuable for diagnosing and monitoring heart failure.
-
3. Stress Test:
If you’re having chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or are at higher risk for heart disease, we may do a stress test.
You’ll walk/jog on a treadmill while we monitor your heart.
This helps us see how your heart responds to exertion — often revealing problems that only show up under pressure, like hidden blockages.
-
4. Blood Tests:
You’d be surprised how much your blood can tell us about your heart.
Bloodwork can reveal:
Cardiac markers (e.g., troponin for heart attacks)
Cholesterol levels and inflammation
Kidney, liver, and thyroid function
Even genetic clues about your long-term heart risk
Sometimes your blood speaks when your heart can’t.
-
These tests aren’t just routine — they’re how we listen to your heart. If something feels off, or you just want to stay ahead of the curve, these tools help us keep your heart strong and healthy.

Most of what we call, “Just getting older” is reversible. We don’t have to just sit back and accept the effects of aging. We can do something about it. We can slow it down!!
-
➡️You’re not tired because you’re getting older. You’re tired because your heart, brain, and metabolism are burning out quietly in the background.
👉🏽Solution:
* Walk 7500–10k steps/day.
* Prioritize protein (0.7g/body wt)
* Fix your sleep window.

➡️That brain fog? It’s not just “old age” — it’s inflammation slowing down your thinking.
👉🏽Solution:
* 30 minutes of daily movement.
* Omega-3 rich foods.
* Lower ultra-processed foods.

➡️The stubborn belly weight? That’s not inevitable — it’s insulin resistance creeping in.
👉🏽Solution:
* Lift weights 2–4x/week.
* Eat carbs after protein + fiber.
* Cut sugary drinks.

➡️High blood pressure? It’s not just bad luck in your genes. It’s your body waving a red flag that it’s struggling to keep up.
👉🏽Solution:
* Cut your sodium-to-potassium ratio.
* Strength training + daily walking.
* Reduce alcohol to 0–2 per week.

👉 Follow , and we’ll show you how to turn back the clock — and feel 10 years younger.

When you sit for 8+ hours, your body’s natural circulation pump—your “second heart” (your calf muscles)—basically shuts off. Blood pools. Pressure builds. Risk rises.
Here are 3 non-negotiable rules to protect your legs and keep your circulation moving.
Save this for Monday morning.
-
1️⃣The 60-Minute Stand Rule:
Non-negotiable. Every hour → stand for at least 60 seconds.
Walk, stretch, move—anything to break the static posture and reset your circulation.
-
2️⃣Fire Up Your Calves (Even While Sitting):
You don’t even have to leave the chair.
Every 30 minutes, do 20–30 ankle pumps (flex your feet up and down). This keeps your “second heart” working.
-
3️⃣Hydrate Like It Matters (Because It Does):
Dehydration = thicker blood = higher clot risk.
Keep a large bottle with you and refill constantly.
Aim for half your body weight in ounces per day.
-
These habits matter at any age—but after 35, your risk for DVT and varicose veins climbs fast.
What’s your biggest struggle with sitting all day? Drop it below and let’s fix it.🙌🏽🙌🏽
