With proactive steps and personalized care, you can take charge of your heart health and reduce your risk of heart disease. At Roots Health DPC, we’re committed to supporting your heart health journey with individualized care that makes a difference.

Understanding Your Risk Factors

No two people have the same risk factors. This is why personalized care is at the core of our approach at Roots Health DPC. Critical risk factors to consider:

• Hormonal Changes: Postmenopausal women are at an increased risk for heart disease due to changes in hormones that can affect cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight.
• Pregnancy Complications: Conditions such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia elevate the risk of developing heart disease later in life.
• Family History: Heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes run in familes.
