“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”

– Benjamin Franklin

​

Do you feel healthy but want to ensure you stay that way? 

​

Modrn med offers comprehensive lab testing and an in depth assessment of your physical, mental/emotional health to prevent disease. 

​

When working with patients who want to ensure they stay healthy we start by doing a review of their family history and personal medical history to see what they are at highest risk for.

​

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the US. For men and women. 

​

One person dies every 34 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease (1).

​

50% of people who have their FIRST heart attack will not survive it.

​

We do not like to use fear as a motivator but most people do not know or understand these facts. 

 

Which is important because:  Cardiovascular disease is preventable.

​

This is why we make it a priority to reduce the risk for heart disease for all of our longevity patients. 

 

Key drivers for cardiovascular disease include: 

• Elevated blood pressure

• Smoking

• Elevated APO B/ LDL-P levels

• Diabetes/ metabolic issues

• Obesity

• Sedentary lifestyle

​

Metabolic health

Insulin resistance is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and  type 2 diabetes. 

 

Insulin resistance is also preventable.

​
