CONQUER HIGH Lp(a) NATURALLY: A SMARTER PATH TO HEART HEALTH

Most doctors don’t test for it. Big Pharma can’t fix it.

But it may be the biggest threat to your heart.

How We Treat High Lp(a)

Natural Heart Doctor treats high Lp(a) by addressing the root causes—like inflammation and oxidative stress—through advanced testing, personalized nutrition, and natural therapies. This holistic approach helps lower risk and restore lasting heart health without relying on prescription medications.

Lp(a) Concept

🧬 WHAT IS Lp(a), AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

Lp(a), or Lipoprotein(a), is a genetically determined particle in your blood that significantly increases your risk of:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Aortic valve disease
  • Peripheral artery disease

Even if your LDL and total cholesterol are normal, elevated Lp(a) can silently drive cardiovascular damage.

And here’s the kicker: most conventional doctors never test for it.

🚫 The Problem with the Prescription Medication Approach

When it comes to high Lp(a), the pharmaceutical industry has very little to offer:

  • Statin drugs don’t lower Lp(a) — in fact, they may slightly raise it.
  • PCSK9 inhibitors can lower Lp(a) by ~20–30%, but at a cost of thousands of dollars per year and with no guarantee of reduced events or longer mortality from Lp(a) specifically.
  • New experimental drugs are still in clinical trials and not widely available.

This leaves many patients stuck with a dangerous condition—and no meaningful root cause solutions.

✅ The NHD Solution: A Proven, Natural, Root-Cause Approach

At Natural Heart Doctor, we believe in finding and fixing the cause of disease—not masking symptoms with medications.

💡 Here's how we treat high Lp(a) differently:

① Advanced Testing and Personalized Risk Assessment

  • We begin with comprehensive lab testing, including Lp(a), oxidative stress, inflammation markers, nutrient levels, and more.
  • You’ll meet with a doctor who understands the real risks of Lp(a)—not one who brushes it off or says “there’s nothing you can do.”

② Reduce Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Using pharmaceutical-grade supplements formulated by cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson, we support heart cell regeneration, immune balance, and inflammation control.

Examples may include:

③ Support Liver and Vascular Health

Lp(a) is produced in the liver—but poor liver function and vascular inflammation can worsen its effects.

We help you:

  • Optimize liver detox pathways
  • Improve endothelial (blood vessel) health
  • Enhance nitric oxide production naturally

④ Reverse the Root Causes

We dig deeper into:

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Heavy metal toxicity
  • Chronic infections
  • Hormonal imbalances

All of which can amplify the damage Lp(a) causes.

⑤ Ongoing Coaching, Monitoring, and Support

You’ll never be handed a lab report and sent on your way.

Our team of doctors, nutritionists, and health coaches will:

  • Guide you step-by-step
  • Monitor your progress
  • Adjust your plan as needed
  • Empower you to take charge of your long-term heart health

🧠 Why This Approach Works

We’re not trying to patch up damage—we’re working to stop its root cause. By reducing the inflammation and oxidative stress that make Lp(a) dangerous, we help your body neutralize the threat naturally.

✅ We Say “Start Healing Today.”

About Dr. Lauren Lattanza NMD, FACC

Dr. Lattanza Office Visit with Patient

As a Naturopathic Physician, I am trained to treat the whole person and get to the root cause of disease.

I went to Arizona State University where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a depth in physiology and minor in Spanish. After my undergraduate degree I was working on prerequisite classes towards medical school, which is when I came to learn that my values identified best with the principles of naturopathic medicine. I knew that I wanted to help patients identify the causes of disease and be able to offer treatments which would improve their health rather than simply treating symptoms.

I dedicated the next 4 years to the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona where I attained my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. I served as Class President all 4 years, Board of Trustees – Student Trustee, spoke as the Club President for our branch of Toastmasters, and was voted by my peers and attending physicians to earn the Outstanding Leadership Award for the Class of 2020. Throughout medical school I took it upon myself to work alongside MDs, DOs, chiropractors, and functional medicine practitioners in addition to naturopathic physicians.

As a Spanish speaking student, I was able to volunteer with community clinics around Phoenix and provide free healthcare to low-income families. Due to this combined exposure, I came to find my passion in treating cardiometabolic and digestive disorders that are all too common, yet largely preventable. I took the opportunity to learn the broad spectrum of healthcare so I can ensure that I am able to provide my patients with the best options.
