Your heart is the wellspring of life—but it doesn’t exist in isolation. Your cardiovascular health is deeply connected to every other system in your body. At Bargas Wellness, we don’t just treat symptoms—we investigate what’s beneath them.

How This Approach Is Different
Conventional cardiology and traditional medicine have their place—especially when saving lives during a crisis. But if you’re looking for lasting change, optimal health, and the ability to thrive—not just survive—you need a different strategy.
At Bargas Wellness, our integrative model focuses on:
Getting to the Root Cause: Whether you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, or an autoimmune condition, the bigger question is why? We go beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Whole-Body, Whole-Heart Evaluation: Your cardiovascular health is closely tied to your sleep, nutrition, stress, hormones, and metabolic balance. We investigate every system and connection through comprehensive testing and personalized assessments.
Personalized Lifestyle Medicine: Medication has its place, but so do nutrition, movement, and mindset. Your treatment may include supplements, nutraceuticals, therapeutic diets, heart-smart lifestyle prescriptions, and other natural interventions tailored to your unique needs.
Holistic, whole-body care. Functional medicine doesn’t just consider the part of your body that’s ailing you. Each part of your body is connected and affects other bodily systems and functions. Holistic care looks at the big picture.
Treating you as a person, not a condition. We don’t believe in placing people in boxes. You are more than a diagnosis. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder or generally feel unwell, we’ll search for the root causes of discomfort and come up with a plan that’s unique to you.
What Is Integrative Cardiology?
Root-Cause Cardiac Care That Goes Beyond the Diagnosis
Integrative cardiology is a forward-thinking approach that combines the best of conventional heart care with the deep, individualized insights of functional medicine. While traditional cardiology often focuses on managing symptoms and reducing immediate risks, integrative cardiology aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease—before they lead to crisis.
At Bargas Wellness, Dr. Bargas treats the heart in the context of the whole person. This means looking beyond cholesterol numbers or blood pressure readings to understand how your stress levels, diet, hormones, gut health, and inflammation are affecting your cardiovascular system.
We Help Patients With:
- Coronary artery disease
- High blood pressure
- Atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias
- Metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance
- Palpitations and unexplained dizziness
- Cardiovascular risk prevention and reversal
- Obesity
- Preoperative cardiac evaluations
What Makes Integrative Cardiology Different?
- Deeper Testing: We go beyond basic labs to assess nutrient levels, hormone imbalances, and inflammatory markers that impact heart health.
- Personalized Plans: Your treatment might include lifestyle changes, therapeutic nutrition, heart-healthy supplements, medications when appropriate, and coaching to help you sustain results.
- Whole-Person Strategy: Cardiovascular disease doesn’t begin or end in the heart. We explore how your gut, liver, thyroid, and even sleep patterns are contributing to your symptoms.
- Proactive Prevention: Whether you have a family history of heart disease or are recovering from a cardiac event, we help you build a stronger, healthier future.
What to Expect During Your Functional Cardiology Visit
Start with a comprehensive visit and assessment. Your first appointment, the Initial Consultation & Executive Physical, begins with the collection of your previous medical records for Dr. Bargas’s review. She will also review extensive intake form in preparation for your one hour visit with her. Dr. Bargas will review your medical history and perform a thorough physical exam. This is followed by a comprehensive written summary of your appointment, including recommendations for diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, supplements, and any labs or testing Dr. Bargas thinks appropriate. Finally, you will meet with our Functional Medicine-certified health coach and RN, Sue Forbat, who will assist you in implementing the doctor’s recommendations.
Your first visit lasts 60 minutes and includes:
- In-depth conversation about your health history, symptoms, and goals
- A physical exam and review of cardiac and metabolic data
- Creation of a personalized care plan tailored to your body and lifestyle
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it’s treatment customized to you.
Advanced Heart Testing with Cleerly Soft Plaque Analysis
See Your Heart Like Never Before with State-of-the-Art Imaging
At Bargas Wellness, we believe the best heart care is proactive, not reactive. That’s why we’re proud to offer Cleerly heart testing—a revolutionary, AI-powered tool that allows us to detect early signs of heart disease with incredible precision.
Cleerly uses advanced imaging and artificial intelligence to analyze a CT scan of your heart, providing detailed insights into your cardiovascular health. Unlike traditional calcium scoring alone, Cleerly evaluates plaque volume and plaque type, including the most dangerous form, non-calcified plaque, which is most likely to rupture and cause a heart attack.
Why Cleerly Matters:
- Detects early-stage heart disease before symptoms arise
- Measures both calcified and non-calcified plaque for a complete risk profile
- Tracks changes in plaque volume over time to assess treatment effectiveness
- Offers personalized insights for long-term prevention and heart optimization
This test is a powerful addition to your integrative cardiology care plan, allowing Dr. Bargas to tailor heart-healthy strategies based on your unique scan results. Whether you’re taking preventive steps or monitoring existing cardiovascular concerns, Cleerly gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose.

“Seriously, I have never been so impressed by a doctor than I am by Dr. Bargas or a field of medicine than I am by functional medicine. I am a few months into learning I have a life-altering disease and I have been going from specialist to specialist trying to get a handle on what is happening. Although each specialist was excellent, it wasn’t until I saw Dr. Bargas and received her functional medicine prescription that I have felt like I am not alone in this. And with her support, not only can handle what is happening with my health but I actually have a chance to improve my overall health and wellness.”
