Episode 4: Why Measuring Cardiometabolic Risk is Important to You

Join Dr. William Cromwell, MD, our Chief Medical Officer, to understand the reason behind the development of our proprietary cardiometabolic report, and to to describe how our report fills a really critical need for a personalized, understandable, actionable report for your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

What you may not know is that cardiovascular disease and diabetes really aren't separate conditions, but they're connected by a common condition known as the insulin resistance syndrome. Understanding this relationship allows us to identify and manage one condition, the insulin resistance syndrome to improve simultaneously our prediction and management of your risk for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. Insulin resistance syndrome can be really significantly improved with appropriate changes and diet and activity. As insulin resistance improves, many of the factors that drive cardiovascular and diabetic risk also improve.

What is often too hard or time consuming is aggregating all of the necessary clinical information and biomarkers the multiple national and international guidelines to establish an individual’s risk for these commingled diseases. Our Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment puts that information at your fingertips for the clinician and individual to use as an objective and actionable guide to create a plan to get healthy and maintain positive progress.
