Gabriel's Approach

Gabriel uses PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY approach focusing on inflammation and oxidative stress, not cholesterol obsession. Testing reveals: advanced lipid panel, inflammation markers, insulin resistance, nutrient status, coronary calcium score. Protocol: 1) Anti-inflammatory diet, 2) Antioxidant support (prevent LDL oxidation), 3) Reduce insulin resistance, 4) Optimize nutrients (K2 prevents calcification, magnesium, CoQ10), 5) Address infections/inflammation, 6) Improve endothelial function. Statins often unnecessary—address root cause instead.

Root Causes

Chronic inflammation (atherosclerosis is inflammatory disease)
Oxidized LDL cholesterol
Insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome
Endothelial dysfunction
Nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, CoQ10, vitamin K2, omega-3)
High homocysteine
Chronic infections
Stress
Sedentary lifestyle

Why Conventional Fails

Standard Treatment

Statins, blood pressure medications, blood thinners (aspirin, Plavix), nitroglycerin for angina, procedures (angioplasty/stent, bypass surgery), lifestyle advice (often inadequate).

The Problem

Focuses on cholesterol reduction (oversimplified—cholesterol is not the cause), statins have significant side effects, blood pressure meds lower numbers but don't address root cause, doesn't test advanced lipid markers, ignores inflammation as primary driver, minimal nutritional/lifestyle intervention, procedures don't address systemic atherosclerosis or prevent future events unless lifestyle changes.

Dietary Guidance

Anti-inflammatory Mediterranean-style or low-carb diet, eliminate sugar and refined carbs, eliminate trans fats and oxidized seed oils, increase omega-3 rich foods, abundant vegetables, berries, nuts, olive oil, avocado; eliminate processed foods; moderate alcohol or none.

Lifestyle Factors

Regular exercise critical: mix of aerobic and resistance training; stress management; 7-9 hours sleep; maintain healthy weight; avoid smoking; limit alcohol; social connection; cold exposure; sauna therapy (cardiovascular conditioning—reduces mortality).
