Advanced cholesterol and lipid disorder treatment in Kansas City. ApoB, Lp(a), and advanced lipid testing with personalized cardiovascular prevention plans. Serving KC metro.

Cholesterol Is More Complicated Than You've Been Told

For decades, cardiovascular prevention has focused almost entirely on total cholesterol and LDL numbers. But research now shows that these basic markers miss a significant portion of cardiovascular risk. You can have "normal" cholesterol and still be at high risk — or have elevated numbers that aren't actually dangerous.

At Rooted Heart Wellness, we use advanced lipid testing to understand the full picture of your cardiovascular risk, not just the headline numbers.

Advanced Testing We Offer

• ApoB (Apolipoprotein B) — the single best marker of atherogenic particle burden
• Lp(a) (Lipoprotein little a) — a genetic risk factor most doctors never test
• LDL particle number and size — small dense LDL is far more dangerous
• Inflammatory markers — hs-CRP, oxidized LDL, Lp-PLA2
• Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score review — direct evidence of plaque
• Genetic considerations — family history in context

A Smarter Approach to Treatment

Based on your complete risk profile, we create a personalized plan that may include targeted nutrition strategies, evidence-based supplementation, exercise prescription, and when appropriate, medication optimization. We work collaboratively with your cardiologist and primary care provider.

Patients from Prairie Village, Leawood, Overland Park, and across Johnson County trust us for this level of advanced lipid care. We also serve patients in Independence, Raytown, Blue Springs, and throughout the KC metro through both in-person and telehealth visits.
