Advanced Cholesterol & Lipid Care
Cholesterol is more than one number. At TruVida Health, we offer advanced lipid evaluation to understand why your cholesterol is elevated and how that translates into actual risk, so we can target the right treatment for you.
Beyond The Basic Lipid Panel
Standard tests measure:
- Total cholesterol
- LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
- HDL (“good”) cholesterol
- Triglycerides
These are important, but they may not capture your full risk. Advanced testing can look at:
- Particle size and number
- Lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein B
- Markers of inflammation and plaque activity
- Cholesterol production vs absorption patterns
Boston Heart & Cardio IQ
Using both Boston Heart and Cardio IQ, we can tailor testing to your needs:
- Identify hereditary patterns such as familial hypercholesterolemia
- Understand why your cholesterol remains high despite lifestyle changes
- Clarify whether medication, and which type, is likely to help most
Integrating Genetics
For patients with strong family histories or very elevated cholesterol at a young age, we may recommend genetic risk testing (such as GENinCode) to assess inherited cardiovascular risk and guide treatment intensity.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Once we have a complete picture, we develop a plan that may include:
- Nutrition tailored to your lipid pattern
- Weight management and body composition analysis (InBody)
- Evidence informed supplements for lipids and inflammation
- Medications such as statins, ezetimibe, or others when indicated
Tracking Progress Over Time
We repeat key labs and, in some cases, imaging (such as calcium scoring, CIMT, or Cleerly analysis) to see how your arteries respond to treatment, not just your lab numbers.
