Heart disease is the #1 cause of death worldwide but it rarely starts in the heart. Fixing your metabolism is one of the most powerful things you can do to protect it.
Your cardiovascular and metabolic health are deeply connected and conventional medicine often misses both. At Functional Medicine of Idaho, we go beyond standard lipid panels to uncover why your body is struggling, not just what the numbers say. Whether you’re managing high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or want to prevent heart disease before it starts, our expert team creates a personalized plan built around you.
Insurance coverage available in Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington and growing!
At FMI, your cardiometabolic care plan is built around you — your genetics, lifestyle, labs, and goals. Your plan may include:
Nutrition & Metabolic Reset — Anti-inflammatory, evidence-based dietary strategies tailored to your metabolic type, not a one-size-fits-all diet.
Movement & Exercise Prescription — Structured, personalized guidance on the types and intensity of exercise that improve insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular resilience.
Targeted Supplementation — Clinically backed nutraceuticals including berberine, omega-3s, CoQ10, magnesium, and more — available through our FMI supplement store.
Pharmaceutical & Peptide Therapies — When appropriate, medications and advanced therapies like peptides are incorporated as part of a comprehensive strategy, not a first resort.
Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization — We don’t set and forget. Regular follow-ups, repeat labs, and adjustments keep your plan evolving with your body.
Cardiometabolic health refers to the combined state of your cardiovascular and metabolic systems — including heart function, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, cholesterol balance, and inflammation. Poor cardiometabolic health is one of the leading drivers of chronic disease and premature death.
A standard lipid panel measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. An advanced panel goes deeper, measuring LDL particle number (LDL-P), ApoB, Lp(a), and particle size, which are far more accurate predictors of cardiovascular risk.
Yes. Metabolic syndrome is largely lifestyle-driven and highly reversible with the right root-cause interventions. FMI providers use targeted nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and, when needed, medication to reverse metabolic dysfunction at the source.
Insulin resistance often has no obvious symptoms in early stages. Signs can include difficulty losing weight, energy crashes after meals, belly fat accumulation, and elevated fasting glucose. Advanced testing including fasting insulin and HOMA-IR can detect insulin resistance years before a diabetes diagnosis.
Primary care services at FMI are billed through insurance. Functional and specialty care services may be out-of-pocket. Contact us to discuss your options.
