Advanced Cholesterol & Lipid Care

Cholesterol was never just one number. TruVida Health offers advanced lipid evaluation to uncover why your cholesterol is elevated and what that actually means for your risk — so treatment can be aimed precisely where it counts.

Beyond the Basic Lipid Panel

A standard panel reports:

• Total cholesterol
• LDL — the "bad" cholesterol
• HDL — the "good" cholesterol
• Triglycerides

Those numbers matter, but they can miss important parts of your risk. Advanced testing digs into:

• Lipoprotein particle size and count
• Lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein B
• Markers of inflammation and active plaque
• Whether your body over-produces or over-absorbs cholesterol

Boston Heart & Cardio IQ

With both Boston Heart and Cardio IQ at our disposal, testing is matched to your needs so we can:

• Spot hereditary patterns such as familial hypercholesterolemia
• Explain why cholesterol stays stubbornly high despite lifestyle changes
• Determine whether medication would help — and which kind is most likely to

Integrating Genetics

When family history is strong or cholesterol runs very high at a young age, genetic risk testing — GENinCode panels, for instance — can clarify inherited cardiovascular risk and guide how aggressive treatment should be.

Personalized Treatment Plans

With the complete picture in hand, we build a plan that may combine:

• Nutrition designed around your specific lipid pattern
• Weight management with InBody body composition analysis
• Evidence-informed supplements targeting lipids and inflammation
• Medications — statins, ezetimibe, and others — when they're indicated

Tracking Progress Over Time

We repeat the key labs and, where useful, imaging — calcium scoring, CIMT, or Cleerly analysis — to see how your arteries themselves are responding to treatment, not just your lab numbers. Learn more about those studies under preventive cardiology, or see how this fits your broader plan through integrative cardiovascular care.
