Cardio Zoomer: Advanced Heart Health Testing in Boston and Austin
See what a standard cholesterol test can miss, and get a nutrition and lifestyle plan built around your results.
A Deeper Look at Heart Health
A routine cholesterol test shows only part of the picture. The Cardio Zoomer from Vibrant Wellness looks at 85 markers tied to heart and blood vessel health, including inflammation, blood sugar balance, oxidative stress and how your body handles fats. At Living Balance Wellness, I use these results to build a functional diagnostic nutrition plan that supports your heart for the long term.

Go Beyond Cholesterol
Advanced lipid markers like ApoB, Lipoprotein(a) and oxidized LDL add detail a basic panel leaves out.
Spot Inflammation Early
Markers such as hsCRP and homocysteine show whether inflammation may be affecting your blood vessels.
Connect Blood Sugar and Heart Health
Insulin, HbA1c and HOMA-IR show how blood sugar balance may be affecting your cardiovascular health.
Personalized Prevention
Your results shape the nutrition, supplement and lifestyle steps that matter most for you.

Who It May Help
The Cardio Zoomer may be a good fit if any of these apply to you:
A family history of heart disease
Cholesterol results that are borderline or hard to interpret
Blood sugar concerns, insulin resistance or weight that won't budge
Ongoing inflammation or a high-stress lifestyle
Anyone who wants a proactive, prevention-focused look at heart health
Heart Health Starts with Nutrition
Your heart is connected to everything else: blood sugar, inflammation, gut health, stress, sleep and hormones. Shifts in cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid function and insulin can all affect weight, mood, sleep, energy, digestion and cardiovascular wellness. That’s why I look at the whole picture instead of one number.
Depending on your results, your plan may include:
- An anti-inflammatory nutrition plan built around real food
- Support for balanced blood sugar and steady energy
- Healthy fats and omega-3s matched to your results
- Stress, sleep and movement habits that fit your life
- Targeted supplements based on your markers
Heart Health Testing in Boston and Austin
I work with clients across the Greater Boston area and Austin, TX, both in person and virtually. Many come to me because their routine lab work looks normal, but they still have concerns about family history, blood sugar, inflammation or how they’ll feel as they age. The Cardio Zoomer gives us a deeper, data-driven starting point, so your plan is built on your own numbers instead of guesswork.
