What is cardiometabolic medicine?

So, what exactly is cardiometabolic medicine? Well, think of it as a more holistic approach to primary care medicine. Instead of treating health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, and high cholesterol as separate entities, cardiometabolic medicine recognizes that everything in our bodies is interconnected. If you’ve got one issue on your plate, chances are another one might be lurking around the corner too.

Here’s the deal: most chronic medical conditions exist on a spectrum. You can move from being healthy to facing diseases based on underlying triggers that affect your body as a whole. That's why it's crucial to look at these health challenges together rather than in isolation. In cardiometabolic medicine, we dive into the nitty-gritty of what’s going on—monitoring hormones, managing nutrition, staying active, and cutting down on risk factors like smoking and excessive drinking.
