At the suggestion of Dr. Brie, I recently took the Boston Heart Test, and I'm really glad I did. We had previously seen my cholesterol moving up quite significantly, which was concerning, my mother also had high cholesterol. We decided to do a deeper dive to better understand these numbers. So, I took the Boston Heart test.
While some of the medical terminology was a bit over my head, Dr. Brie thoroughly reviewed everything with me. I learned that certain aspects of my cholesterol are inherited and fixed, meaning no matter how healthy I eat—if I lived on just carrots and water—those particular numbers wouldn’t change. However, other numbers could be improved with better diet and exercise. Dr. Bree also recommended that I start on a statin, because of the numbers that lifestyle changes alone wouldn't improve.
During our 30-45 minute discussion, Dr. Brie also went over additional information included in the test. There are these good sweepers (again, the medical language is rather complex) - which I have a healthy number of. Yeah sweepers! I thought before our meeting that it would be a rather grim meeting, filled with difficult news. But, it was a wide view and there are ways in which my body is functioning well - some not so well.
But we have medications and I have had no side effects from the meds. She also suggested some supplements, targeted at the heart issue. We also included a genetic test that would reveal if I had a predisposition to Alzheimer’s. She went into these genes, and what means what. Dr Brie provided a follow up summary of the meeting in the portal.
I’m so grateful for Dr. Brie's thorough, informative, super deep-dive approach. She always takes the time to explain everything in detail, and I appreciate her so much!

No this is a program designed for a one time blood test and lab review visit if you choose level 1. If you choose to add Calcium Score CT scan at the local hospital you will bring these results with you to the lab review visit to have all results reviewed at the same time.

No. However if your family history is a concern or if you want to add on additional testing we can evaluate your genetic risks with the polygenic risk map or by adding on ApoE and MTHFR evaluations.

Why would I want to add on ApoE and MTHFR Genetic testing?
This is a genetic test utilizing a European database of genetic links to specific diseases for a much more precise evaluation for developing important health conditions. Profile includes risk analysis for these conditions: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Stroke • Atrial Fibrillation • Type 2 Diabetes • Hypertension • Lipoprotein (a) • Alzheimer`s Disease • Prostate Breast Brain, Pancreatic and Kidney Cancer and Melanoma risk • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease risk. • Early Menopause - Risk of menopause before age 45. • Osteoporosis • Psoriasis • Celiac Disease

ApoE genetic variants influence your heart health and brain health! For example, ApoE2 is protective against Alzhiemer's but puts people at risk for high cholesterol. ApoE4 genetic variants actually put you at increased risk for Alzheimer's and heart disease. Additionally, some MTHFR genetic variants put you at risk for blood clot, miscarriage, stroke and heart attack. We want you to know the most about YOU so we offer these genetic tests to understand your personal health influences.
We will get back to you as soon as we can.
