Functional Medicine For A Healthy Heart & Mind
A Functional Medicine Approach to
Treating Cardiovascular Disease and Cognitive Decline
There’s a lot you can do to improve the functioning and health of your heart and brain.
At Blum Center, we go beyond standard care. In addition to using advanced blood testing and imaging, we also evaluate your full picture—medical conditions, genetics, lifestyle, and family history—to accurately assess your cardiovascular risk. But we don’t stop there. Your heart and brain don’t function in isolation. They are closely tied to your metabolic health, inflammation and oxidative stress levels, gut microbiome, toxin load, stress, sleep, and more. Our approach addresses these underlying imbalances so your heart, brain—and your whole body—can function at its best.
