Christus Cardiometabolic Clinic
Our approach is designed to reduce risk factors for chronic disease through lifestyle interventions. We address conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, high cholesterol, poor sleep, and more. Our multidisciplinary team — including cardiologists Dr. Ratheal and Dr. Challapalli, exercise physiologists, and dietitians — works closely with patients to create lasting lifestyle changes.
Participation involves regular visits, lab work, and group classes, along with self-guided learning. This structure helps patients build sustainable habits and improve long-term health outcomes.
