Four Key Practices to Improve Your Cholesterol

Cholesterol is essential to your health. It is used to make hormones and is a structural component of every cell in your body. We need cholesterol but imbalance of cholesterol can put us at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Medical News

Increasing your fitness level is the most important factor to improve your health. Unfit, i.e. sedentary people, have the highest cardiovascular risk of any other factor including elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes.

A 2023 study published in the Journal of the American Association of Cardiology shows that you are 4 times more likely of early mortality if you are sedentary. Even a slight improvement in fitness can have a large impact. A simple regular walking program can reduce your chances of mortality by 16%.

Our Services

One of our newer laboratory tests, the Grail Galleri multi-cancer detection test was voted one of the best inventions of 2022 by Time Magazine. The Galleri test detects circulating tumor DNA and can detect aggressive cancers that have no screening test, such as ovarian, pancreatic, and liver cancer. Galleri can detect over 50 cancers and of the cancers this test has detected, 50% have been in stage I or II when treatment can be curative. This is a game changer in the war on cancer.
