Protocol. Gina Pritchard, DNP, RN, CNS, ACNP
Dr. Gina Pritchard has a DNP and is a board-certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, specializing in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Treatment. She is in private practice; and is the Founder of The Prevent Clinic in Frisco, TX. Dr. Pritchard’s Doctoral work, the S.A.V.E. (Subclinical Atherosclerosis Vascular Evaluation) project, focused on increasing global awareness and use of computed tomography and B-mode ultrasound for thorough, high-quality assessment of the arterial wall, specifically looking at coronary artery calcification and status of the arterial endothelial-intima-media layers, to ensure arterial wellness. Dr. Pritchard’s life work is focused on bringing lifesaving, life-improving education, and quick-start tools to the masses so everyone can live a life uninterrupted by debilitating and deadly diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cardio-metabolic disease,, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, vascular dementia, and stroke. She has developed protocols for the clinical application of early identification and phenotypic description of cardiovascular disease with subsequent stabilization and transformation of the disease process. She incorporates the principles of cardio-radiology; primarily computed tomography with artificial intelligence and fractional flow reserve, ischemia, as well as B-mode ultrasound, and bio-markers such as saliva testing, blood testing, biologic age, nuanced, multi-night oxygenation, breathing, and sleep testing, and numerous “at-home” real-time metrics. Her integrative medical wellness protocols include cellular medicine, airway-oral-systemic collaboration, micronutrient/hormone/thyroid optimization, peptide and small molecule therapy, evidence-based bio-hacking techniques, and ancient truths that are the foundation of lifestyle medicine. Based on these concepts, Dr. Pritchard has created the following programs to create health and prevent disease for her patients and also for the public through group programs:
“Lean Body Longevity Blueprint”
“The 5 B’s to Biohack Longevity: Future-Proof Your Health and Revitalize Your Present”
“The Spit Test”
and
“Skip Your Next Heart Attack”
