Heart health is about more than cholesterol or blood pressure.
New research shows a deeper connection — one that begins in the gut. Your microbiome quietly shapes inflammation, metabolism, and vascular health. When it’s balanced, the heart thrives. When it’s not, risk rises. Supporting that gut–heart dialogue with the right foods and habits can help your cardiovascular system perform at its best.

But here’s the truth no one talks about: bloating and belly fat are often symptoms of an inflamed, out-of-balance gut. Not a willpower problem. Not just water weight. And not something you need to “suck in” or starve away.

In functional medicine, we look beyond the surface. What if your gut health — the very foundation of your digestion, metabolism, hormones, and immunity — was quietly sabotaging your results?
