Conditions We Support: Cardiovascular Health

Your heart and circulatory system are your body’s lifelines. When they are compromised, your energy, clarity, and overall vitality also suffer. At Modern Holistic Health, we offer holistic cardiovascular support that focuses on root causes and goes well beyond simply managing cholesterol or prescribing blood pressure medications.

Whether you’re struggling with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart palpitations, poor circulation, or early signs of heart disease, our goal is to uncover the hidden causes and help you restore balance—naturally.

Understanding Cardiovascular Health

Your cardiovascular system includes your heart, arteries, veins, and the blood that flows through them. It’s responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell in your body.

Symptoms like chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, or dizziness may indicate that your heart or circulatory system is under stress. But even before these symptoms appear, imbalances can silently affect your long-term health.

We take a comprehensive, personalized approach to cardiovascular health, addressing inflammation, oxidative stress, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic dysfunction, and emotional stressors that impact the heart.

Conditions We Support

We help clients with a wide range of cardiovascular-related concerns, including:

  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • High cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Atherosclerosis and arterial plaque
  • Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
  • Poor circulation and cold extremities
  • Chronic inflammation and vascular damage
  • Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance
  • Elevated homocysteine or C-reactive protein (CRP)
  • Cardiovascular risk in autoimmune or thyroid conditions


Our goal is to identify what’s driving the dysfunction, not just looking at the numbers on a lab report.

Root Causes of Cardiovascular Imbalance

Heart issues rarely originate in isolation. Most result from complex interactions between metabolic, endocrine, neurological, and lifestyle factors.

Key contributors include:

  • Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Blood sugar imbalance and insulin resistance
  • Poor diet and lack of nutrient cofactors
  • Heavy metal or environmental toxin exposure
  • Stress, trauma, and the sympathetic nervous system overdrive
  • Gut dysbiosis and leaky gut syndrome
  • Genetic variants affecting cholesterol metabolism or clotting factors


We evaluate these through targeted lab work and a comprehensive intake process to build a picture of your unique cardiovascular health story.

Comprehensive Functional Testing

At Modern Holistic Health, we use in-depth testing to uncover what conventional lab work often misses.

We may recommend:

  • Advanced lipid panels (particle size, oxidized LDL, lipoprotein A)
  • Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, homocysteine, fibrinogen)
  • Glucose and insulin resistance testing (fasting insulin, A1C, OGTT)
  • Micronutrient and mineral analysis (magnesium, CoQ10, B vitamins)
  • Heavy metal and environmental toxin testing
  • Functional genomic and MTHFR mutation panels
  • Gut health and microbiome testing
  • Cortisol and nervous system regulation profiles


These insights allow us to personalize your plan with precision and purpose.

The Stress-Heart Connection

Emotional stress, unresolved trauma, and a constantly activated nervous system can significantly impact cardiovascular health. Chronic stress leads to:

  • Elevated cortisol and blood pressure
  • Increased blood clotting risk
  • Heart palpitations and arrhythmias
  • Constricted blood vessels and poor oxygenation
  • Sleep disruption and inflammation


We incorporate mind-body tools, nervous system regulation, and emotional trauma support into every client’s protocol. Healing the heart includes addressing both
physiological and emotional stressors.

Lifestyle Factors We Target

Small, personalized shifts in daily habits can lead to profound cardiovascular improvements.

We provide guidance on:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition: personalized to your lab results and genetics
  • Movement and fitness: tailored to your cardiovascular needs and recovery state
  • Sleep optimization: to balance hormones and reduce vascular strain
  • Stress reduction techniques: like breathwork, meditation, and nervous system retraining
  • Supplementation: for mitochondrial energy, blood flow, and vascular repair


No crash diets. No extreme exercise. Just science-backed, sustainable healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What causes high blood pressure besides salt?
A: Many factors can cause high blood pressure, including chronic stress, insulin resistance, poor sleep, magnesium deficiency, inflammation, and kidney or adrenal dysfunction. We test for the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Q: Can functional medicine help lower cholesterol?
A: Yes. We focus on cholesterol particle size and oxidation—not just total cholesterol. Many clients achieve balanced cholesterol without medication through diet, lifestyle, targeted supplements, and inflammation reduction.

Q: How does inflammation affect heart health?
A: Inflammation can damage blood vessel walls, contribute to plaque buildup, and increase clotting risk. It’s a central factor in almost every cardiovascular condition and is fully addressable through functional protocols.

Q: Is stress really that bad for your heart?
A: Absolutely. Chronic stress raises cortisol, constricts blood vessels, increases heart rate and blood pressure, and disrupts sleep and metabolism, which raises heart disease risk.

Q: Can I heal my heart naturally?
A: Yes. With the proper lab testing, nutrition, lifestyle changes, nervous system support, and targeted supplementation, many clients reverse cardiovascular risk and feel better than they have in years.
