As the constant cycle of high blood pressure, poor sleep, and heart palpitations builds up over time it feels impossible to escape the worry and fear that something worse is coming.
Yet you've heard the same tired old advice over and over – “take your meds”, “go see a therapist”... you know deep down there's more.
Lasting relief requires a comprehensive, holistic approach. While traditional methods focus on treating symptoms in isolation, functional medicine works differently.
It addresses the root causes of your health issues by looking at the whole picture – how your heart, mind, and body are interconnected.
But There's a Catch...
Holistic and functional medicine programs are powerful, but they often come with a hefty price tag. $5000 or more for a comprehensive plan is not uncommon, and that’s a significant investment, especially if you’re unsure about the results.

My name is Dr. Karim El-Sherief and after spending nearly 20 years as a cardiologist, I continued to see patients come in with physical symptoms and intense worry over their heart. I knew that simple therapy or anxiety meds were not the solution.
It was only after speaking to thousands did I begin to realize this pattern of stress and start creating a holistic method for getting to root causes.
After years of stress from raising kids, building a business, and just always putting others first, your body may be finally telling you that everything is not okay.
What started as just a bit of high blood pressure or weight gain is now turning into worse symptoms - both physical and mental. Now every twinge in your chest sends a shiver of fear down your spine…

Imagine living a life where your day was no longer controlled by worries over your health. One where you can go to work without wondering if you’ll be able to focus through uncomfortable symptoms. Where you are no longer scared of having a panic attack in front of your kids. And where you can travel freely without being preoccupied with the fears of a health event.
Result: Decreased Anxiety by 90% and Improved Diabetes Management
Juan Garay, a dedicated father of two young children, Aiden (6 years old) and Jovana (3 years old), had been grappling with numerous health challenges when he sought the help of Salus Health. His health issues, including type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and being out of shape, had escalated significantly.
Juan's turning point came after a harrowing visit to the emergency room in December, following months of frequent colds and possible COVID-19. During this visit, he was diagnosed with swelling in his legs and asthma complications, which led to further alarming discoveries about his heart health.
Before working with Salus Health, Juan faced multiple challenges. Doctors informed him that he had an enlarged heart and enzymes indicative of heart failure, suggesting possible Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or a silent heart attack. Additionally, he faced slightly elevated uric acid levels, pointing to potential kidney issues, and suffered severe anxiety as a side effect of his blood pressure medication.
Juan turned to Salus Health for their expertise in holistic health management. Together, they implemented a comprehensive strategy that focused on several key areas:
Cardiometabolic Food Plan: A tailored food plan helped Juan manage his diabetes, cholesterol, and overall nutrition.
Anxiety and Stress Management: Daily meditation, journaling, and mental wellness sessions were introduced to significantly reduce his anxiety.
Exercise and Movement: A carefully designed movement program built his confidence in exercising without risking his health.
Ongoing Support: Weekly coaching calls and daily group calls on exercise, breathing, mental wellness, and nutrition provided continuous support and motivation.
The partnership between Juan Garay and Salus Health led to remarkable results. Juan's anxiety levels decreased by 90%, allowing him to engage more confidently in daily activities and improve his overall mental health. With his fear of working out alleviated, Juan now feels secure and confident in his ability to exercise, contributing significantly to his physical and mental well-being.

First, you need to find a legitimate and effective program.
Many of your options fall into three categories:
Category 1 - Health Programs
Exercise and diet are important for both heart health and mental health. However, working with a single person on one of these areas is not going to tackle the combination of root causes that initially started your symptoms. Furthermore, they can be stressful to follow and implement into your life which ignores the importance of making this process stress reducing.
Category 2 - Therapy
While counseling and traditional talk therapy can provide some relief as you get worries of your chest is ignore the physical aspects of what are going on in your body. Without balancing your hormones and improving your physical health, you will always miss the root causes of your anxiety and worry.
Category 3 - Medical Treatments
Dependent on medications, side-effects, long-term damage to liver/kidneys. Ablations and other procedures for AFib or heart palpitations typically only stop it for 1-2 years tops. This misses the root cause that needs to be addressed.
So, how are we different?
