Metabolic Health, Cholesterol & Prediabetes Care in Denver
You exercise. You eat better than most people you know. And your last panel showed prediabetes, high cholesterol, or hypertension. That is not a willpower problem, and it is not a life sentence.
What this looks like day to day
- An A1c or fasting glucose that keeps creeping up year over year
- Rising cholesterol, high LDL particle count, or elevated triglycerides
- Hypertension (high blood pressure) or hyperlipidemia flagged on routine physicals
- Weight settling around the midsection despite consistent training
- Energy crashes an hour or two after meals
- A family history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes you were told to 'just watch'
Why waiting and watching costs you years
Insulin resistance and endothelial stress develop years before glucose rises enough to trigger a standard diabetes diagnosis.
Standard cholesterol checks only measure total mass, not particle number or atherogenic risk. Advanced NMR lipid panels reveal true cardiovascular risk before damage occurs.
Body composition matters far more than scale weight. Visceral fat drives hypertension and metabolic dysfunction, which is why we track with the medical-grade InBody 970.
What we actually test
- ✓Fasting insulin alongside fasting glucose, A1c, and HOMA-IR
- ✓In-depth advanced lipid panel: ApoB, LDL particle count (LDL-P), Lp(a), and particle size
- ✓High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) and systemic vascular inflammation markers
- ✓Medical-grade InBody 970 body composition analysis, tracked monthly
- ✓Liver and kidney metabolic panels including GGT and uric acid
- ✓Nutrient and mitochondrial status affecting glucose and lipid metabolism
Testing is chosen from your history, not run as a fixed bundle. What gets ordered is decided together in your intake appointment, and the results are explained to you in plain language.
