Q: Can the method be integrated into an existing practice?

The BaleDoneen Method is designed to enhance existing care models and can be incorporated into private practices, clinics, and multidisciplinary teams.

Q: What types of providers can implement the BaleDoneen Method?

The method is designed for licensed healthcare providers including MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and other qualified clinicians in cardiology, primary care, dentistry, and related fields.

Q: What is the goal of the BaleDoneen Method?

The goal is to help patients live life to the fullest by ensuring their “healthspan” matches their “lifespan.” This is achieved by identifying and addressing all root causes of arterial inflammation through individualized, genetically guided therapies, which control inflammation and stabilize or regress arterial disease.

Q: What are the two types of care for cardiovascular disease?

Most cardiologists are trained as interventional cardiologists, focusing on this reactive approach. Preventative care : This focuses on preventing the disease or its progression. Preventative cardiologists work to avoid or stabilize arterial disease before emergent issues arise. However, preventative cardiology is a less common specialty.

Q: Why doesn’t my current provider offer these tests?

Nationally, only about 10% of providers offer these types of advanced tests, and even fewer offer all the tests recommended by BaleDoneen. This approach goes beyond the current standard of care and is often not included in conventional treatment plans, even though these tests are widely available and affordable.

Q: Can simple tests identify my risk for heart attack, stroke, or diabetes?

Yes! Many risks go undetected with standard testing. The BaleDoneen Method uses noninvasive, painless, and inexpensive tests to detect vascular disease and assess its stability. These tests include blood and urine analyses to measure inflammation, which often has causes beyond cholesterol. In fact, about 50% of heart attacks and strokes occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.

Q: Is it true that heart attacks, strokes, and type 2 diabetes are preventable?

Yes, they are preventable! The BaleDoneen Method uses advanced laboratory and imaging tests, along with a personalized assessment, to uncover hidden signs of arterial disease or red flags for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Peer-reviewed studies have shown that this precision-medicine approach can halt, stabilize, and even reverse CVD, helping patients avoid heart attacks and strokes—even if they've experienced them before.

Q: What are common phrases I might hear from my healthcare provider?

Q: What if I have to cancel my registration for the course?

If cancellation is two or more months before the Preceptorship Course, 75% of the fee will be refunded or 100% will be credited toward the next course being offered. If cancellation is one to two months before the Preceptorship Course, 50% of the fee will be refunded or 75% will be credited toward the next course being offered. If cancellation is less than one month before the Preceptorship Course, no course fees can be refunded. Under exceptional circumstances, 75% of the course fees may be applied to the next Preceptorship Course being offered. Credit cannot be extended beyond the next available Preceptorship Course.
