The Bale-Donin Method for Arterial Health

The Bale-Donin Method, co-founded by Dr. Amy Donin and Dr. Brad Bale, focuses on preventing and reversing arterial disease by identifying hidden risks. This comprehensive approach utilizes advanced diagnostic tools such as coronary calcium scanning and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) to assess arterial health before symptoms arise. Analyzing data from hundreds of patients over several years has demonstrated the method's effectiveness in stabilizing and even reversing arterial plaque, a significant contributor to heart disease. Through patient-centered care, it emphasizes treating root causes rather than just symptoms, looking beyond standard risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure.
