Cardiometabolic Optimization
It goes without saying that a healthy heart is essential for overall wellness. While diet and exercise are important, they are not always enough to fully understand or optimize your cardiovascular health.
At Clinic 5C Functional Medicine in Spokane, our Cardiometabolic Optimization program goes deeper.
We use advanced testing and integrative therapies to assess your risk factors, uncover hidden issues, and create a personalized plan for prevention and vitality.
What Is Cardiometabolic Optimization?
Cardiometabolic health refers to how well your heart, blood vessels, and metabolism are working together.
Imbalances can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
Our program focuses on both analysis and treatment planning so you can protect your health now and for years to come.
Advanced Testing for a Complete Picture
The first step is comprehensive evaluation. Through advanced lab panels, we assess:
- Cholesterol and detailed lipid profiles
- Blood sugar and insulin resistance markers
- Inflammation markers
- Nutrigenomics and genetic predispositions
- Other functional evaluations that reveal your true cardiometabolic health
This level of insight goes far beyond standard screening, helping us detect risk factors early and identify the best ways to improve function.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Once we have a clear understanding of your cardiovascular and metabolic health, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include:
- Lifestyle recommendations for nutrition, movement, and stress management
- In-clinic modalities such as infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV UVBI, ozone therapy, and NanoVi sessions
- Supplement guidance and targeted support based on your lab results
- Collaboration with other Clinic 5C specialties, including gut health and hormone optimization, for a truly integrative approach
Note: We may also recommend practices such as cryotherapy or cold plunges, which have cardiovascular benefits. These are not currently offered in our clinic but can be pursued independently with your own equipment or a trusted facility.
Why Choose Clinic 5C?
What sets our approach apart is the combination of advanced diagnostics, cutting-edge therapies, and integrative care.
While conventional medicine often waits until a diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes is made, our focus is prevention.
By identifying risk factors early and creating a personalized plan, we help patients protect themselves against future disease while enhancing energy, circulation, and overall resilience.
