Most people assume that if their cholesterol and blood pressure look normal, they’re safe from cardiovascular disease. But a groundbreaking study proves otherwise. In this episode, Dr. Hans Vink and Jolyn discuss how glycocalyx damage—measured by the GlycoCheck test—predicts heart attacks and strokes up to six years in advance, even in people with no traditional risk factors.
You’ll learn how microvascular health can uncover hidden risks, why this matters for both patients and practitioners, and how natural therapeutics like ReVasca and ReNeu are changing the way we restore vascular vitality.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
📊 The science of early detection – How a compromised glycocalyx predicts cardiovascular events with 5–6x greater risk, even in “healthy” individuals.
🔍 The net reclassification index – Why GlycoCheck identifies 30–40% more at-risk people who would otherwise be missed by conventional labs.
🌿 Natural therapeutics for vascular repair – How seaweed-derived polysaccharides and antioxidant-rich compounds in ReVasca (REKA) can rebuild the glycocalyx and support microvascular health.
🏥 Why clinicians love GlycoCheck – Real-world integration into functional medicine, cardiology, dentistry, and even pre-surgery risk assessments.
💡 Unexpected benefits – From improved kidney function to sharper cognition, healthier skin, and even hair growth—vascular health touches every system.
