Peripheral Artery Disease (Early)
Gabriel treats early PAD aggressively to prevent progression: smoking cessation non-negotiable, supervised exercise therapy (most effective), aggressive lipid management, blood pressure control, diabetes management, anti-inflammatory diet and supplements, address inflammation, and uses supplements to improve circulation (L-arginine, ginkgo, omega-3).

Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats early PAD aggressively to prevent progression: smoking cessation non-negotiable, supervised exercise therapy (most effective), aggressive lipid management, blood pressure control, diabetes management, anti-inflammatory diet and supplements, address inflammation, and uses supplements to improve circulation (L-arginine, ginkgo, omega-3). Works with vascular surgeon for advanced cases. Emphasizes PAD marker of systemic atherosclerosis (high cardiovascular risk).
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Risk factor modification (smoking cessation, diabetes control, blood pressure, cholesterol), antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel), supervised exercise therapy, cilostazol (improves walking distance), revascularization (angioplasty/stenting or bypass) if severe.
Supervised exercise therapy proven most effective but rarely prescribed or reimbursed, smoking cessation support often inadequate, doesn't use natural circulation-enhancing supplements (L-arginine, ginkgo), inadequate anti-inflammatory approach, reactive (waits for critical limb ischemia) rather than aggressive early intervention.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Mediterranean diet (proven to reduce cardiovascular events), high in omega-3 fish, abundant vegetables and fruits, olive oil, nuts, avoid trans fats and processed foods, limit red meat, moderate alcohol if any, adequate fiber, anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, garlic, ginger).
Lifestyle Factors
SMOKING CESSATION CRITICAL (single most important intervention), supervised exercise therapy 3-5x/week (walk to moderate pain, rest, repeat - improves collateral circulation and walking distance), weight loss if overweight, tight diabetes control, blood pressure management, statin if indicated, aspirin or other antiplatelet, avoid cold exposure, proper foot care (inspect daily, proper footwear), treat wounds immediately, revascularization if severe or critical limb ischemia.
