Holistic heart doctorThe Holistic Heart Program by Holistic Integration is a comprehensive, integrative approach designed to support heart health by addressing the root causes of cardiovascular disease.

It combines advanced diagnostics, personalized nutrition, functional medicine, and therapeutic treatments to enhance heart function and overall wellness. The program focuses on reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting lifestyle changes that strengthen the heart naturally.

By incorporating therapies like ECP (External Counterpulsation), needle work, nutrition coaching, and stress management, the Holistic Heart Program aims to optimize cardiovascular health while empowering patients to make lasting changes that improve both heart function and quality of life. It offers a blend of traditional and holistic care to provide a well-rounded, patient-centered pathway for achieving better heart health.

Extensive Diagnostics

In depth, thorough diagnostic testing performed throughout the duration of the program; beginning, middle, and end.

Provides a comprehensive analysis of various health markers that are critical to understanding heart health. This diagnostic tool evaluates factors such as inflammation, hormone levels, cholesterol, and blood sugar regulation, all of which play vital roles in the development and management of heart conditions. By identifying imbalances or hidden issues that contribute to cardiovascular stress, the Prather Profile helps practitioners create personalized treatment plans, targeting the root causes of heart problems and promoting long-term heart health and disease prevention.

Provides a detailed assessment of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates critical functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and vascular tone. This test helps identify imbalances between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS, which are often linked to heart problems such as hypertension, arrhythmias, and poor circulation. By detecting early signs of autonomic dysfunction, the TM Flow test allows healthcare providers to tailor interventions aimed at improving heart health, reducing cardiovascular risks, and preventing further complications.

Provides continuous, real-time monitoring of the heart’s electrical activity over an extended period. This allows healthcare providers to detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that might not be captured during shorter monitoring or standard office visits. By identifying episodes of atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or other arrhythmias, the monitor helps doctors make more accurate diagnoses and tailor treatment plans for optimal heart health. This early detection and targeted intervention are crucial for preventing serious complications like stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac events.

Assesses lung function, which is closely linked to heart health. Impaired lung capacity or respiratory issues can put additional strain on the heart, leading to complications such as shortness of breath or reduced oxygen supply to tissues. By identifying underlying respiratory conditions like COPD or asthma, spirometry helps doctors optimize treatment for heart patients, ensuring that both the heart and lungs are functioning well together to improve overall cardiovascular health and prevent further complications.

Provides a detailed, comprehensive analysis of cardiovascular risk factors, including advanced cholesterol profiling, inflammation markers, and genetic predispositions. This test helps identify early signs of atherosclerosis, metabolic imbalances, and other contributors to heart disease, offering a more precise understanding of a patient’s heart health. By giving healthcare providers actionable insights, the CardiaX test enables personalized treatment strategies aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk and preventing heart-related complications.

Provides an in-depth evaluation of key cardiovascular markers, including advanced lipid panels, inflammation indicators, and genetic risk factors. By offering a comprehensive picture of heart health, this test helps healthcare providers detect underlying conditions, assess cardiovascular risk more accurately, and develop personalized treatment plans. This early detection and tailored care are crucial for preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart-related complications.

Identifies specific food sensitivities that may contribute to chronic inflammation, a key driver of heart disease. By pinpointing foods that trigger immune responses, the test enables patients to eliminate these from their diet, reducing inflammation and improving overall heart health. This personalized approach to nutrition can help manage cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, and support better long-term outcomes for heart patients.

Therapies

Included therapies performed 1 to 3 times per week.

Promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves circulation. Needle work helps stimulate the autonomic nervous system, particularly the parasympathetic branch, which lowers heart rate and blood pressure, reducing strain on the heart. Needle work can also decrease inflammation and alleviate chest pain (angina) by improving blood flow and releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins. Additionally, it may help manage related symptoms like anxiety and insomnia, which can exacerbate heart conditions. Needle work supports overall cardiovascular health in a holistic way.

Helps improve physical function, reduces strain on the heart, and enhances overall mobility. Through targeted exercises, muscle reeducation strengthens weakened muscles, improves posture, and increases endurance, all of which support better blood circulation and cardiovascular efficiency. It can also aid in recovery after heart-related events by promoting safer, more effective movement, reducing the risk of injury, and alleviating muscle imbalances that may contribute to additional cardiovascular stress. This therapy can be a key component in cardiac rehabilitation, helping patients regain strength and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and promotes tissue healing. This non-invasive therapy uses electromagnetic energy to generate deep heat in tissues, which helps increase blood flow to targeted areas.

Regulates the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress, and improving blood circulation, which can help lower blood pressure and stabilize heart rate. It stimulates specific points on the ear that correspond to the heart, promoting relaxation and reducing chronic inflammation, a key contributor to cardiovascular disease. This therapy also aids in managing symptoms like chest pain (angina) and can improve heart rhythm, offering relief for patients with arrhythmias. By supporting emotional well-being and helping patients adopt healthier habits, auricular therapy serves as a complementary treatment that enhances overall heart health.

Provides significant cardiovascular benefits, particularly for patients with coronary artery disease, angina, and heart failure. This non-invasive treatment involves the use of cuffs wrapped around the legs, which inflate and deflate in sync with the heart’s cycle to enhance blood flow to the coronary arteries during diastole. ECP can improve oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, reduce symptoms of angina, and promote the development of collateral blood vessels, enhancing overall heart function. Additionally, it can lower blood pressure, improve exercise tolerance, and reduce the need for medication, providing a safe and effective option for patients seeking to manage their heart health and improve their quality of life.

Monthly Provider Check-Ins

Provide personalized guidance on lifestyle changes that can improve heart health and overall well-being. Functional health coaches help patients develop sustainable habits in areas such as supplementation, stress management, and sleep, all of which are critical for managing cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, cholesterol, and inflammation. By addressing the root causes of heart disease and focusing on whole-body health, functional health coaching supports long-term cardiovascular care, helping patients prevent further complications and improve their quality of life through tailored, proactive approaches.

Ensures continuous, comprehensive care that addresses both the root causes and ongoing management of heart health. A holistic PA integrates traditional medicine with lifestyle interventions, focusing on nutrition, stress reduction, and preventive measures that can lower cardiovascular risk. Regular visits enable personalized adjustments to treatment plans, proactive monitoring of heart-related symptoms, and the early detection of potential complications. This comprehensive approach helps optimize heart function, improve overall well-being, and prevent disease progression, supporting long-term cardiovascular health.

ECP Statistics

75% of patients report a decrease of at least one angina class (as classified by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society), meaning a reduction in the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes.
In patients with heart failure, ECP improves exercise tolerance by 10% to 40% after a treatment course.
Studies show that 80% of patients with chronic stable angina experience significant symptom improvement after a course of ECP treatment.
ECP has been shown to increase exercise duration by 20% to 25% in patients with chronic angina, allowing them to perform daily activities with less discomfort.
ECP treatment can lead to a 30% reduction in hospitalization rates for patients with heart failure and angina after completing a treatment course.
A study demonstrated that 85% of patients with angina who received ECP were able to avoid further invasive procedures, such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery, for up to 3 years.
Follow-up studies indicate that the benefits of ECP last up to 2 years in 50% to 75% of patients after treatment, with sustained reductions in chest pain and improvements in quality of life.
Less than 5% of patients report adverse events during ECP treatment, making it a well-tolerated option for long-term management of chronic angina or heart failure.
