Support for Cardiovascular & Cardiometabolic Health
Evidence-informed care to optimise endothelial function, lipids, blood pressure, and metabolic resilience — tailored to your labs, lifestyle, and goals.
The website https://www.cvdcheck.org.au offers a quick and easy tool to
assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) based on key
health and lifestyle factors
Conditions I Commonly Support
I work alongside your GP/specialist to optimise cardiovascular risk and everyday wellbeing. Care is collaborative and tailored to your case history and labs.
Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance
Stabilise glucose and insulin, support liver and adipose signalling, and improve body composition sustainably.
Hypertension (High blood pressure)
Identify drivers (salt sensitivity, insulin resistance, sleep, stress, kidney function), implement nutrition, minerals, and evidence-informed herbal support
Dyslipidemia
Support healthy lipid markers, using a personalised approach. We work with diet, lifestyle, movement, and targeted herbal medicines to improve lipid balance and protect heart and vessel health naturally.
Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk
Focus on endothelial health, inflammation, oxidative stress, and particle number to reduce lifetime risk.
Women’s Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular disease in women is often under-recognised, especially during perimenopause and menopause when hormonal changes can affect cholesterol balance, inflammation, and vascular health. Identifying these subtle shifts early and supporting heart health through evidence-based strategies is imperative for a long healthy life.
Why Endothelial Health Matters
​The vascular endothelium lines every blood vessel and orchestrates blood flow, coagulation, and inflammation. When healthy, it releases nitric oxide (NO) to relax vessels and maintain flexible, responsive arteries.
-
Support nitric oxide bioavailability (dietary nitrates, movement, sleep, stress care).
-
Reduce oxidative stress and endothelial inflammation.
-
Protect the endothelial glycocalyx.
-
Address lipoprotein particle burden, blood pressure load, and smoking/alcohol where relevant
Why ApoB Matters
Each LDL particle carries one ApoB molecule, so ApoB reflects the actual particle number driving plaque formation. Lowering ApoB reduces the particles that can infiltrate the arterial wall — a central goal for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction.
-
Complements and often outperforms — LDL-C for risk prediction.
-
Actionable with diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine, nutraceuticals and when appropriate, medical therapy.
-
Useful for tracking progress: meaningful change can often be seen within 12 weeks of consistent interventions.
Training & Clinical Experience​
My approach blends evidence-informed complementary practice with real-world clinic experience, supporting patients with elevated coronary calcium scores, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance, to achieve measurable improvements.
​
-
Advanced cardiometabolic coursework & ongoing CPD
-
Applied lab interpretation (ApoB, Angiograms, Coronary Calcium Scores, lipids, insulin, inflammation)
-
Herbal & nutrition protocols integrated with medical care
-
Outcomes-focused tracking with regular review
​
This means care that goes far beyond general advice. Providing deep, targeted, and clinically informed support for heart health.
