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.
