Control diabetes and reduce the chances of becoming a heart patient, getting kidney disease, nerve problems etc.
Diabetes can be very debilitating, leading to early death and various complications, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure
We understand the challenges of living life fully with persistent diabetes.
Diabetes is a condition where your body can’t handle sugar properly. Normally, your body turns the food you eat into sugar and uses a hormone called insulin to turn that sugar into energy. In people with diabetes, this process doesn’t work right.
We provide a proven adjunct to standard care and work hand in hand with your primary care physician or cardiologist to reduce or eliminate heart failure. Our program is drug-free, pain-free, and based on a holistic blend of education, coaching, and FDA approved ECP (External Counter Pulsation). This tested and proven program has improved the cardiovascular health, increased the strength of our patients’ hearts and enhanced their overall quality of life.
Achieve relief from diabetes related symptoms and enhance your heart health holistically, without reliance on medication or invasive procedures. Strengthen your heart and reduce the risk of a second heart attack with Heart Strong Wellness™, our natural and medication-free approach plus FDA-approved EECP®/ECP to achieve cardiovascular health & wellness.
Research on EECP & diabetes
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) improves biomarkers of glycemic control in patients with non-insulin-dependent type II diabetes mellitus for up to 3 months following treatment. May 2016:
- Results: EECP significantly decreased FPG (-14.6 and -12.0 %), PPG120 (-14.6 and -13.5 %), and HbA1c (-11.5 and -19.6 %) 48 hours following EECP and 2 weeks following EECP, respectively. HbA1c remained significantly reduced at 3 months following EECP (-14.3 %). The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (-31.1 %) and whole-body composite insulin sensitivity index (+54.2 %) were significantly improved 48 hours following EECP. Nitrite/nitrate (NO x ) was significantly increased 48 hours following EECP (+48.4 %) and 2 weeks (+51.9 %) following EECP treatment.
- Conclusions: Our findings provide novel evidence that EECP improves glycemic control in patients with T2DM that persist for up to 3 months following treatment.

Impact of enhanced external counter-pulsation therapy on glycaemic control in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. November 2023.
- Results: Data from 3 RCTs involving 71 people with T2DM/prediabetes was analysed to find out the impact of EECP therapy compared with placebo. As compared with placebo, patients receiving EECP had significantly lower HbA1C immediately after completion of therapy (mean difference [MD] -0.70%, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.95. -0.45;p<0.00001), at 2-4 weeks post completion of therapy (MD -1.04%, 95%CI -1.32. -0.77; p<0.00001) and 7-12 weeks after therapy completion (MD -0.98%, 95% CI -1.22, -0.74; p<0.00001). EECP therapy was well tolerated without any increased side effects (risk ratio 2.36, 95% CI 0.11-52.41; p=0.59.
- Conclusions: EECP therapy is effective in blood glucose and pressure lowering over at least 7-12 weeks of therapy completion. Blood glucose and pressure should be monitored with suitable modulation of drug doses to prevent hypoglycaemia and hypotension in patients with angina undergoing EECP therapy.

Efficacy of two doses of external counterpulsation (ECP) on glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized SHAM-controlled trial. June 2023.
- Results: After 7 weeks, there were significant between-group differences, with ECP45 lowering HbA1c compared to SHAM (mean [95% CI] −0.7 [-0.1 to −1.3] %; −7 [-1 to −15] mmol/mol). Within group changes were; ECP45 (mean ± SD −0.8 ± 0.8%; −8 ± 8 mmol/mol), ECP30 (-0.2 ± 0.5%; −2 ± 6 mmol/mol) and SHAM (-0.1 ± 0.9%; −1 ± 10 mmol/mol). HbA1c in the ECP45 group remained lower 7 weeks after completing the intervention; ECP45 (7.0 ± 1.1%; 53 ± 26 mmol/mol), ECP30 (7.7 ± 1.4%; 60 ± 16 mmol/mol) and SHAM (7.7 ± 1.0%; 60 ± 10 mmol/mol).
- Conclusions: In people with T2D, ECP45 for 7 weeks improved glycemic control when compared to ECP30 and a SHAM control group.

Heart health protocols we practice
- Identify and Treat the Root Causes: While symptom suppression has its place, we believe all patients benefit from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure.
- Diagnostic Accuracy: We use various cardiology diagnostic tools, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiography, calcium, and stress tests to accurately understand your heart conditions.
- Heart Health Education: Educating patients about heart-healthy lifestyles, diet, and exercise is a crucial aspect of cardiology and overall health.
- Treat the Whole Person: We recognize the interconnectedness of our body, environment, and lifestyle in total health. By adopting a whole-person approach, they seek to restore balance and well-being.
- Patient-Centered Care: Unlike disease-focused treatment, we emphasizes patient-centered care. We takes into account not only the disease but also the person as a whole. Understanding the patient’s lifestyle, environment, medical history, and preferences is crucial for effective treatment.
- Multidisciplinary Approach: We work in collaboration with other specialists, such as cardiologists, primary care physicians, and dieticians to ensure your overall health is addressed. A team-based approach ensures comprehensive patient care and the best outcome possible.
- Individualized Treatment: We tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs. This may involve coaching on diet modifications, lifestyle changes, or procedures like EECP.
- Supporting Natural Healing Mechanisms: We supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Instead of directly attacking the disease, we aims to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. This approach considers nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and other factors that influence health.
- Health as Vitality: Health is not merely the absence of disease; it is a state of immense vitality. We focuses on optimizing overall well-being, allowing the body to heal and prevent age-related diseases.
- Prevention: We emphasize prevention in the form of non-invasive, proactive treatments and lifestyle modifications whenever it possible to achieve health goals.
- Do No Harm: We prioritize the use of natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies. When a patient’s condition falls outside our expertise, we refer to other healthcare providers who can best address teh underlying root cause and conditions.
Improve your health by reversing heart disease, heart failure, and prevent future heart attack, proactively & naturally
Extensive research and clinical studies have revealed the heart’s remarkable ability to form new pathways, known as collaterals, that increases blood circulation. Strengthening the heart’s pumping capacity, these additional pathways improve oxygen supply with each heartbeat. This increased efficiency lessens the heart’s workload, reducing the chance of a heart attack, reversing heart disease and eradicating heart failure. Tailored for each patient, we work hand-in-hand with you as the primary care physician to achieve better, more sustained results for your patient’s heart health.
