Solutions That Work
Our trusted staff of obesity-certified medical providers can help you take control of your health and transform your life with proven long-term solutions.
HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is known as the “good” cholesterol. When HDL levels are too low, your risk for heart disease increases. At Options Medical Weight Loss, we help patients improve their HDL levels through customized, medically-supervised weight loss programs. With the right support, you can strengthen your heart health and reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.
What Is Low HDL?
HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver, where it can be processed and eliminated. A low HDL level means your body isn’t effectively clearing (the bad/LDL) cholesterol, increasing your risk for plaque buildup and heart disease. Raising your HDL through lifestyle change is a powerful step toward protecting your heart.
How We Help Improve HDL
Our medical providers will evaluate your current HDL levels and identify lifestyle factors that may be contributing to low HDL. From there, we’ll build a personalized program that includes nutrition coaching, physical activity, stress reduction, and—when appropriate—medication or supplement support. Our goal is to raise HDL naturally while improving your overall health.
