Frequently Asked Questions

Symptoms of burnout can be very tricky to diagnose and can disguise as other chronic conditions, for instance, back pain, insomnia, and even migraines or chest pain. It is very important to identify burnout as a root cause of those symptoms and take care of it before it becomes severe and leads to depression. CardioSeeds developed its own "RECLAIM" program that uses behavioral coaching and six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine to eradicate the root cause of burnout and its sequela. Sometimes coaching alone may not be enough and a patient may need a referral to a mental health professional.

The goal of any Lifestyle Intervention (LI)  will depend on the patient's individual needs. We use six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine backed by evidence-based medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). These needs will need to be assessed during the initial evaluation. In general, the goal of LIs is to prevent, delay the onset of, treat, or even reverse major cardiometabolic and other chronic diseases, for instance, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension,  obesity, hypercholesterolemia,  depression, etc. READ MORE ABOUT ACLM UNDER THE "PATIENT EDUCATION" SECTION

No. While Dr. Chamoun will be involved in prescribing all the Lifestyle Interventions, she will not be prescribing, titrating, or deprescribing your medications. You will remain under the care of your regular doctor(s) who will continue managing your medications and performing other testing related to your underlying medical illness(es). Please remember that CardioSeeds is not a medical practice. 

We do NOT. We are a "cash-only" practice. 

However, Health Coaching Might Be Covered by Your HSA or FSA!  Referrals from a physician or credentialed healthcare provider to CardioSeeds for medically necessary health coaching will give our clients the best chance of having associated costs covered. Please work with your primary provider to ensure you have a referral!

The success of any behavioral coaching or Lifestyle intervention program, RECLAM included, depends on patients' readiness for change and engagement, or what we call "commitment". Although at CardioSeeds, we are committed to our client's vision and goals, we cannot do the work it may take for them to reach those goals.  The ultimate work to get to the goals will be on the client. CardioSeeds promises to guide you, facilitate your transformation, and cheer you on every step of the way.

We promise that you will get a return on your investment because you will become a new person: a healthier one, a stronger one, a more resilient one, a more resourceful one, and equipped to face life challenges like never before.
