February 2008 |
Greetings!
February is American Heart Month, focusing on a healthy heart, so we have dedicated this month's e-newsletter to cardiac topics! We have an interview of Dr. Stephen Sinatra, well-known cardiologist and author of "The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology", as well as a new article on cardiac related markers found in laboratory testing. Also, be sure to check out our Cardiovascular Health Profile and Cardio/ION to test your heart health markers! Finally, learn more on our clinician referral program for patients and clinicians, and don't forget about the seminar series in Australia! |
| Cardio Markers for a Healthy Heart |
 The development of cardiovascular disease is a complex and multifactorial process, so why would you trust your health to the measurement of just cholesterol and triglycerides? The Metametrix Cardiovascular Health Profile offers a more in depth look at the risk factors for cardiovascular disease than the typical lipid assessment. It combines conventional and innovative testing including markers of nutrition, oxidative damage, inflammation, and hormone imbalances. The Metametrix Cardiovascular Health Profile offers you and your patient valuable information to individualize integrative therapies that can reduce or eliminate the multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Included in each report is a summary of results and the calculated "Cardiovascular Index" that helps you identify the strongest abnormalities and recommendations for supplement therapy.

| Dr. Stephen Sinatra: Metabolic Cardiology |
 Dr. Sinatra is a self described "integrative cardiologist" with conventional training in medicine and cardiology, as well as years of training and experience in nutrition, mind-body medicine, and anti-aging. In an interview with Cass Nelson-Dooley, a Metametrix Clinical Consultant, Dr. Sinatra shared the connection between cardiovascular disease and other conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as some of his favorite treatments for improving mitochondrial function and ATP! This fascinating interview of an impressive cardiologist has been written up to share insight on CVD and the concept of "metabolic cardiology" for clinicians and patients!

After completing the survey you will be entered in a drawing to win one of many great prizes including an iPod Nano, the new edition of Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine, and ION handbooks! We appreciate your feedback! |
| Patient Support and Referral Program |
Metametrix provides a complimentary service to patients looking for a clinician in their area that provides Metametrix testing services. Metametrix has a dedicated Consumer/Client Sales Liaison, Stephanie Wickham, who works full time at matching patients with clinicians. The process is simple; patients can call or email Stephanie and provide their name, contact information, the type of tests they are interested in, as well as their zip code including the number of miles they are willing to travel. She will conduct a search of our client database for a suitable match and provide a list of clinicians. She can even call clinicians to check for appointment availability and the suitability of the practitioner's specialty to the needs of the patient. Additionally, if you are a clinician looking for more referrals, give Stephanie a call and let her know more about your practice and specialty areas so she can better match patients in your area!
