Why Get Tested

Identifying cholesterol imbalance early will allow you to make appropriate diet and lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Anyone can have high cholesterol; high levels may be a result of your genetics or lifestyle and can often display no symptoms. For that reason, we recommend checking your cholesterol levels even if you are young, fit, and healthy.

Those with a family history of heart disease, who are overweight / obese, drink alcohol, smoke regularly, lead a sedentary lifestyle or have diabetes are at an increased risk and should get tested.
