Cardiovascular Disease including elevated cholesterol, LDL,
and high blood pressure.

Elevated cholesterol and LDL

Pacific Nutrition and Wellness performs a test diet on patients considering medical treatment of their elevated cholesterol.  Many physicians refer their patient to our center for nutrition assessments before they prescribe lipid lowering medications.  The test diet finds the correlation between the diet and blood cholesterol.  The findings of the test diet are invaluable and help us get patients back on a healthier path.   Some patients find their blood cholesterol is not due to diet but instead a genetic condition or a malfunction of the liver and can wisely choose the right medications for their needs.
